Let
me start with Womansplaining.
It is the opposite of mansplaining. Learn a topic from a competent
woman
and it is not unsolicited. So ask for a topic to get it for
International Woman's Day mar 8th and come back to watch a collection
of terms womansplained here
Now what is building automation?
An entire industry has been digitizing the building for decades. From
my experience tracking digitization of the car on it's path to
autonomy, I can see the parallels.
1. First, it was automation of the 'things' towards cost efficiencies
and going green.
HVAC systems manage heat for buildings and manage energy efficiently.
ICT Control systems began adding controls to all equipment and provided
for remote maintenance. This has been very crucial during the covid
lockdowns allowing technicians to monitor and maintain equipment
remotely. Building auto automation systems BAS evolved to provide and
manage this automation for the whole building. In that journey now we
have energy managed using
Blockchain and Artificial Intelligence to manage equipment
uptime for optimal energy costs.
2. Second, it was the impact of shifts outside of building in energy
industry and connectivity in all industries
The changes in several industries outside of building space has brought
in technologies and innovations that are now supporting the automation
of buildings. In the car V2G (Vehicle to Grid) technology
was created and it drove up powering of buildings. In buildings,
the decentralization of the energy grid brought the energy grid to
commercial buildings as micro grids. Equipment maintenance got
automated with IoT and Digital Twins. Remote operations
everywhere brought the focus on facilities management to give remote
support for managing buildings bringing big data and analytics to track
and optimize everything remotely.
3. Now we are entering the era of the AI
The major shift in bringing AI to buildings is the shift in seeing
buildings as powered by people and not seeing them as structures and
equipment. We have learnt that
people are the humanity of AI Automation. So the
personalization of buildings has begun. ( Link to ken talk with me)
Now I bring you Womansplaining of some of the key topics we discussed
above.
1. Rebecca Wolcoff, Machine Learning Engineer at Enel X in Silicon
Valley talks about Machine Learning in building energy management
2.
Sneha Jadhav talks about building digital twins to connect equipment
to create their digital replica.
3. Roxy Stimpson talks about data architecture for IoT to connect sensors and control systems to the cloud
.
4. Rebehak Tweed talks about Facial Recognition and how it is becoming
an identity tool for public buildings such as airports and concerns and
the ethical issues it raises.
5. Susanna Raj talks about Ethics of data.
6. Finally my (Sudha Jamthe technology futurist prediction about
collision of autonomous buildings and autonomous vehicles leading us to
a future as buildings become autonomous with AI personalities serving
us.
Join me on this journey to learn, innovate and invite more #Womansplaining to bring diversity of competent perspectives. You can suggest a topic here or come watch and learn from smart womxn on March 8th IWD2021 .
Sudha Jamthe is a Technology Futurist who enjoys mentoring business leaders in learning communities at BusinessSchoolofAI.com. She teaches AI and AVs at Stanford Continuing Studies and AIX at Barcelona Technology School.
