  As part of the activities of the IEEE-GDL CCD working group of physical
infrastructure, this whitepaper is intented to be an initial guide to
understand the layers, taxonomy of services and best practices for the
development of smart buildings. Open standards are claimed in order to increase
interoperability between layers and services. Moreover, two buildings in
Guadalajara city, one new and another to renew, are described as a proof of
concept under development and being part of the strategy to develop the smart
city infrastructure based in a master plan. A discussion will be addressed in
order to identify the areas of innovation and opportunities for the smart
buildings as the contribution of this document.
