Facility Management for Unwanted Behavior Detection

From Linked Building Data Community Group
  • Title: Facility management for unwanted behavior detection
  • Description: Integrated fault/unwanted behaviour detection. This use case provides a method for identifying and reporting faults or unwanted behaviour (e.g. too much heating), and provides access to information regarding potential replacement devices along with cost/benefit analysis. Faults in buildings can be difficult to detect and can often go unreported. Facility Managers must detect faults themselves, or rely on occupants to report faults, either by word (in person or through a reporting desk), by e-mail or by phone. This use case is concerned with providing capabilities for sensors to report faults, or where sensors are not present, support occupants to identify and report the location of a fault/unwanted behaviour in a building (3D floor plan) using a web browser on a mobile device, or desktop. This information is then presented to the FM, who can quickly locate, assess and if required address the issue. The FM is provided with tools to identify replacements, compare costs and control building set points.
