Let’s talk about the little-known dark side smart buildings today. In fact, it is an advanced building that can realize functions such as automated operation and efficient management of buildings with the help of modern information technology. It is actually the crystallization of the combination of technology and architecture! However, under this glamorous surface, there are still many twists and turns. Provide global procurement services for weak current intelligent products!
First of all, let’s talk about network and big data security first. Smart buildings rely on a large number of networks and data transmissions to operate. Once bad people are eyeing them, it will be quite bad! After a hacker breaks through the system, you can steal your important data in minutes. Whether it is corporate secrets or the privacy information of ordinary people, it may be leaked. The key is that if those access control systems and security systems are remotely controlled… it's terrible! Although it is helpful to use encryption technology and regularly maintain the system to detect vulnerabilities, the effect is limited.
The performance of energy and energy efficiency also needs to be pondered. Indeed, one advantage of smart buildings is that they can optimize equipment operation and reduce energy consumption, which many people think is quite good. But The Dark Side of Smart Buildings is like using smart home appliances. If the intelligent system is too complex and huge, it will consume more electricity. It’s like installing a lot of monitoring and regulation equipment for the building, using a lot of electricity when investing in the early stage, and the system operation itself also needs electricity. After this calculation, it’s hard to say whether it’s energy-saving. You have to choose a low-energy and efficient device and system configuration solution.
In addition, the point of architectural dependence has to be said. If we want to have a power outage and a system crash, the smart building can't move even if it has many functions. Just like the elevator will not move, the lighting will be gone, the access control will be like a decoration, and even the water supply will be messed up! The building is a mess, what a big deal. Therefore, when building smart buildings, in addition to having backup power supplies and redundant systems, it is also useful to retain traditional mechanical facilities, and they can be held up for a while at critical moments.
The degree of integration of indoor systems is also very troublesome. Several systems in smart buildings operate at the same time, such as lighting systems, ventilation systems, fire protection systems… It is rare for you to work smoothly and seamlessly with each other. It’s like a few people working together. Each person’s routines are different, but how can they do it so smoothly? Sometimes there are differences in data transmission, and sometimes the functions conflict, and the overall effect cannot be improved. Therefore, we must design the integrated platform well and use standard communication interfaces to ensure that different systems can communicate well
OK, let’s start the Q&A collection to explain the details inside.
Someone asked: Are there any high-tech means to protect data and network security? That's there! I just said that encryption method must be used, and firewall deployment can also be tried. If we also install intrusion detection and defense system, we can immediately warn you if you catch someone bad things! However, technology is becoming more and more advanced, and hackers' methods are also upgrading. If they cannot be guaranteed 100% of them, they will be foolproof. Just talking about multiple means, multiple is relatively safer
Someone was thinking about it and asked, then, and asked: What aspects should be considered when computing energy saving? There is quite a lot of knowledge here! Not only the energy consumption of the equipment itself, but also the auxiliary parts around it, such as the electricity consumed for cooling the system or heat dissipation, and the power consumption of adjusting the temperature of the computer room. After simulation calculation or testing, we try to know the electricity used by each part as accurately as possible and then consider and adjust it carefully to come up with the best way.
Someone started to change his mind and asked: If so many systems were run at the same time, how should we debug them to achieve the best cooperation state? Don’t be anxious to make a decision. You can set up a virtual environment first and let different systems simulate and cooperate to try it. You can think of the problem and adjust it first. Then start testing from a small scale in the real environment and slowly promote it. While doing it, collect operation data and analyze and feedback to make it better optimize! This combination of operation from local to overall, simulation and reality is a pretty good process method
OK, I have talked about the smart building in a few ways. Although I understand that many situations here make people feel sad, we can't just deny it completely. Smart buildings are like new toys, and there will definitely be imperfect problems here and there, but they also hide opportunities for environmental improvements in our quality of life and work and study. As long as we have the patience and serious exploration of improvement, optimization and adjustment plans from all aspects, it will definitely have a bright road to go in the future and wait to be presented to the whole world to bring unexpected surprises.
