Tune in to the third episode of this series, talking about the most famous protocol: BACnet Secure Connect (BACnet/SC) and its challenges towards security.
The channel covered a lot of relevant topics related to the world of buildings. However, there was one subject that had not yet been discussed and which represents a crucial factor for a building: fire safety. That's why we recorded three brand new episodes on the subject with Mr. Carsten Liesener, head of the solutions and service division of Siemens Smart Infrastructure in Europe. Tune in to the third and last podcast of the series that explains the different applications for fire safety.
The health crisis has forced many employees to work from home. No more coffee with colleagues, no more crazy meetings where great ideas come from and no more commute. This raises the question: has this changed the office as we know it? In the following episodes with James Bellingham, head of digital buildings at Siemens Smart Infrastructures in UK, the discussion is about what has changed and how important some of the things we left behind are to workers.

Franziska Dolak explains how important it is for technology to be accessible but also not too complicated. It is useful to realize which interactions are actually improved by smart homes technologies and not making it too sophisticated. Tune in to know more.
Markus Winterholer explains that 70% of the time for data analytics is spent structuring the data which is done in the digital twin. Machine learning and data analytics used in the digital twin enable algorithms that will give all kind of information needed for the construction and the proper functioning of a building.
Tyson Soutter explains that a semantic data model helps to understand the relationship between the sensor and a piece of equipment but also what this sensor is related to. Tune in to know more about everything that can be understood with this model.
Wolfgang Hass explains that it is not the end of the story for BIM. Entire cities will use building information modelling to collect information from individual buildings to make decision on a city level. Tune in to know more about BIM for entire cities.

This episode is focused on the system that allows to remove friction between the building, the space and the people. The aim is to make it easy to meet within the building for a meeting, for example. The idea would be that the system understands which meeting room would fit every attendee's needs. Tune in to know more!
Chris Kopp explains, in this episode, that there is a trend in the industry to use only variable flow, that goes from the production all the way to the consumers by only running as much water as needed which is an energy efficient solution.

Markus Winterholer is back on the Buildings of Tomorrow channel. Tune in, if you want to hear about the different use cases of the digital twin. You will also understand why available data is going beyond the operation of the building by actually making everybody's life easier.
www.siemens.com/BIM
Tyson Soutter explains that the scale of data is getting immense and the building industry is not used to it. Therefore, the goal of semantic tagging is to apply structure to a lot of data to make them easy to search, modify and use at scale.

Because of the demographic changes, there is an increasing demand for care homes and this type of building should give lots of attention to air quality. People living in care homes almost never leave the building, therefore, a good ventilation system is about lifestyle. But, when it comes to poor air quality that can spread viruses, this could be about life itself.

Wolfgang Hass explains that BIM is useful during the entire life cycle of a building. From the idea of it until it's recycling. This can be expressed by the funny but accurate statement: BIM, BAM, BOOM. If you want to know what this stands for, tune in to the 9th episode regarding BIM.
www.siemens.com/bim
Markus Winterholer explains that a building experiences at least two changes a week. Therefore, maintaining the digital twin can't be the work of one person. This is why everybody operating around the building has to provide his data. Tune in to know where and how these datas are collected.
The building costs can be expressed as follow: 1% related utility, 10% for the rent and the remaining 89% are around the people. The goal of healthy buildings through data analytics is then to keep the traditional system while engaging with the user to make sure he is working, studying or living in the best building.

Listen to Jonathan Copley explaining how, over the last decades, we have been focusing on saving energy, which has caused other issues in buildings like raising the level of CO2, or humidity. He also explains how problems related to tiredness, allergies and the faster spreading of viruses can be avoided.
