TLDR: Automation alone is not enough for smart buildings. Data needs to be accessible and understandable to make buildings truly smart.
This Monday Live session focused on smart buildings and cloud-native solutions.
There is discussion about a post by Sabine on LinkedIn on Google proposing a baseline structure for building device topology data This has generated a lot of discussions and could potentially lead to new standards for data in cloud-native buildings. Also Brian Turner is trying to get an ontology group together to address these data standards
Key Concepts from Monday Live!
- Data Silos in Building Systems: Traditional building systems often store data in isolated silos, making it difficult to access and analyze information across different systems.
- Cloud-Native Approach to Integration: Cloud-native solutions offer a way to eliminate these data silos by providing a centralized platform for integrating and managing data from various building systems.
- Integration of Diverse Building Data: The video demonstrates how data from different building systems, such as HVAC, lighting, and security, can be seamlessly integrated using a cloud-native approach. This integration enables a more holistic view of building operations and performance.
- Importance of Industry Participation: The speaker emphasizes the need for collaboration and participation from the industry to gather more operational technology (OT) data. This data is crucial for creating a comprehensive understanding of building systems and optimizing their performance.
- Demos of Building Automation Integration: The video mentions demos that showcase how cloud-native solutions can connect to building automation systems and sensors. These demos illustrate the practical implementation of cloud-native integration for real-world building scenarios.
Overall, the video highlights the potential of cloud-native solutions to transform the way building systems are managed and optimized. By eliminating data silos and integrating diverse data sources, cloud-native approaches can unlock valuable insights and enable more efficient, sustainable, and intelligent building operations.
The presenters acknowledge the challenge of getting building data (OT data) onto the cloud-native platform. They are looking for industry participation to overcome this challenge.
