Emerging Technologies


Artificial Intelligence

”Artificial Intelligence is the ability of a digital computer

or computer-controlled robot to perform tasks commonly

associated with intelligent beings.”


Virtual Reality & Augmented

Reality

“Immersive experiences are changing the way people

connect with information, and experiences, and each

other.”


Internet of Thinking

Creating Intelligent Distributed Systems


Data Veracity

“By transforming themselves to run

on data, businesses have created a

new kind of vulnerability:

inaccurate, manipulated,

and biased data that leads to

corrupted business insights, and

skewed decisions with a major

impact on society.”

The Importance of Trust


Blockchain

Secure distributed ledger


Intelligent Buildings

A definition, coined by the Intelligent

Buildings Institute, defines an

intelligent building as “one which

provides a productive and cost-

effective environment through

optimization of four basic elements:

structure, systems, services and

management, and the

interrelationship between them.”


What is the future of fire safety

systems?

View a building as an accumulation of functions with processes

enabling pre-defined activities to take place inside and around it.

The Digital Twin

Definitions are very generalWiki definition:

Digital twin refers to a digital replica of physical assets,

processes, people, places, systems and devices that can be

used for various purposes.

A digital twin continuously learns and updates itself from

multiple sources to represent its near real-time status, working

condition or position.

Deloitte*:

Digital Twins have four main characteristics

▪ Sensors to provide life data

▪ Connectivity to connect objects

▪ Defined data structures

▪ User interface for data visualisation

*Deloitte 2017 Study: Grenzenlos vernetzt: Digital Twins

Smarte Digitalisierung durch IoT, Digitale Zwillinge und die Supra-Plattform

There are many digital twins around in various application areas

Every DT has a specific purpose and thus is different

Connected Car Energy Health Smart Home IT

Logistics Aerospace Smart City Production Telecommunications


Why Buildings Need Their Own

Digital Twin

Building specifics:

• Almost every building is unique

• Building have complex geometries

• Huge amount of data points

• Many Contributors

Typical commercial building:

~ 200 Gigabytes static data

~ 60 Sensor types

~ 2,000 Data points

> 500 MB data per day or ~200 GB per year

That translates to :

→100 Petabytes per year for 500,000

buildings

→ 3 Exabytes for ~30 years operation phase


Emerging Technologies and the

Interconnectivity of Codes and Standards

Where worlds collide…

Interconnectivity


Codes and Standards

➢ National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)

➢ I- Codes (IBC & IFC)

➢ Locally-Developed or Amended Building and Fire Codes

➢ US Government Regulations (e.g. DoD, ADA)

➢ UL Standards

➢ BICSI

➢ IEEE

➢ TIA

➢ Other Applicable

Codes and Standards

Regulatory Agencies that Influence Building System Integration Include:

Its not

just Fire

anymore


Cybersecurity


Regulatory Challenges For Emerging

Technologies & Life Safety

17

1. We need to build up and maintain our knowledge on the regulatory

developments of emerging technologies.

2. We need to recognise which emerging technologies are affecting or

potentially will affect life safety systems and solutions.

3. We need to learn how to apply emerging technologies within our existing

regulatory environment, without adding levels of complexity.

4. We need to define the balance between the development of life safety

solutions and implementation of emerging technologies.

5. to maintain – even better increase – the safety of life and assets against fire

events.

6. an ongoing dialogue on what these emerging technologies mean for our

industry and our clients

7. We need to ask the question whether our existing regulatory environment is

fit for the digital future and look for acceptable and reasonable answers.
