Abstract
In this paper the idea of functioning of Building Management Systems and Object Management Systems in intelligent buildings is presented. New functionalities of intelligent buildings resulting from the introduction of microgeneration are described. Low-Power Wide-Area Networks (LPWAN) are characterized and compared. The selected Long-Range (LoRaWAN) technology is tested for its use for communication with energy meters and monitoring the power supply network in intelligent buildings. In the paper a new system for reading and monitoring the network is proposed, consisting of hardware, communication, and application layers. A key element of the system is a specially developed converter, which has been designed and tested in a real urban environment. Using our solution in practice could allow to change the architecture of a measurement data acquisition system to much more flexible and efficient.

Summary
In this paper the idea of functioning of Building Management Systems and Object Management Systems in intelligent buildings is presented. The selected Long-Range (LoRaWAN) technology is tested for its use for communication with energy meters and monitoring the power supply network in intelligent buildings. The functioning of smart measurement devices guarantees real-time access to information on energy consumption and its costs. This information allows the construction of a customer profile and control of power consumption in a manner that maximizes the use of changing peak and off-peak energy prices. This article concerns Low-Power Wide-Area Networks (LPWAN), as a type of wireless networks designed to allow long-range communications at a low bit rate [3]. One of the most popular LPWAN standards—the LoRaWAN (LongRange Wide-Area Network) [4] technology will be tested for its potential to be used to communicate with electricity meters.
