A few articles ago, we discussed the re-emerging world of long-term building management, powered by our intelligent DeepDesign® processes. We say re-emerging because, in centuries past, most buildings were created by “Master Architects” who oversaw not just the design of their commissioned projects, but also the construction and ongoing upkeep. Architecttura is embracing this approach but in a much more dramatic, technology-driven way. It all starts with our proprietary DeepDesign® process that creates incredibly detailed building plans – so much so that we are able to forecast specific, detailed and accurate projections
for every aspect of the build-out and for the long-term, life-cycle management and upkeep of your building and its systems. Our clients are already seeing the benefits of this level of detailed design. Soon, they will also be able to monitor building-management and performance data through user-friendly interfaces that marshal information on a variety of structural and performance parameters into a single, easy to use dashboard.
As the prototype model (pictured) shows, the DeepDesign® Dashboard will compare predicted energy and upkeep costs versus actual expenditures, with intelligent cross references to external influences such as wind and temperature, humidity levels, etc. Other features will provide aggregated information on total energy usage by category, and comparisons of total energy performance on a day-to-day basis, expressed as a plus/minus percentage of designed values. Down the road, we envision other DeepDesign® developments, including comprehensive accumulation and analysis of real-time data from components and systems connected through the “internet of things.” Such previously unthinkable control and management of information now seems within easy developmental reach.
Our DeepDesign® Dashboard is an exciting, game-changing illustration of how, at Architecttura, we’re building intelligence into everything we do. By combining advanced technology and innovative spirit with the insights of our experience, we’re positioning ourselves and our clients for another 25 years of dynamic growth and development.
