Abstract

This study investigates the integration of AIoT (Artificial Intelligence of Things) devices into residential infill systems and proposes standardized construction guidelines based on empirical analysis from a real-world smart housing testbed. Field observations revealed that sensors, smart lighting, wall pads, and gateways were primarily connected through embedded power and communication lines within ceiling, wall, and floor infill structures. However, inconsistencies in installation methods, non-standard wiring routes, and limited maintenance accessibility were frequently identified. To address these issues, this study derives key infill-level requirements—including wiring separation, installation clearances, inspection openings, and finish integration—and establishes installation criteria for major AIoT devices. International and domestic trends further confirm that infill systems form an essential physical foundation for AIoT-enabled smart housing. The findings demonstrate that AIoT devices must operate not as surface-mounted equipment but as embedded components integrated into infill layers to ensure stability, safety, and maintainability. The proposed guidelines provide empirical evidence that may support future incorporation of AIoT infill installation and maintainability criteria into national housing certification systems. Although based on a single testbed, this study establishes a new research direction in the standardization of AIoT–infill integration and offers a foundational model applicable to various building types to enhance the reliability and sustainability of smart housing.
