Digital Transformation: Unlocking Engineering Excellence (ICE Hong Kong Association G&S And IET Hong Kong Young Members Section Webinar)
Digital Transformation for built environments is ready to enhance sustainability designs explained Mr. Jacky Chan who is the Associate Director and the Advanced Digital Engineering (ADE) Leader at Arup. Mr. Chan explained how artificial intelligence (A.I) and machine learning (M.L) is an enabler for efficiency and optimisation. Operational technology building mechanisms like fire alarms, water, building materials all traditionally had to be manually monitored, however in the new smart buildings being introduced, with the use of sensors or IoT devices, green sustainability and civic life will likely benefit. He described the use of 'building intelligence' will give optimisation levels of 30% and this is without the use of other sustainable mechanism like solar panel, wind or e-generators. With…
