Buildings of Tomorrow

Before AI can optimize building performance, building data must first be structured and understood.In this episode of Buildings of Tomorrow, we speak with Paul Baumann to unpack why data onboarding is one of the most complex steps in digitalizing buildings, and how AI is helping to simplify it.Tune in to find out how AI is helping buildings make sense of their data, and what that means for the future of operations.

As buildings become increasingly autonomous, an important conversation is emerging around the role of autonomous technology in our daily environments.In this episode, Jon Lester explores why human-centric autonomous buildings are all about people - building operators, occupants, investors and building owners. Autonomy does not eliminate the human role.Instead, it delivers the best possible experience to enhance the effectiveness of all stakeholders. By using data, AI and connected technologies, they drive energy efficiency, predict maintenance before failures happen, and create secure, personalized and flexible environments for every occupant - with minimal human intervention.

Outdated building systems aren't just inefficient; they lead to critical compliance gaps and significant security risks.In this episode, Jon Lester, Siemens Smart Infrastructure Marketing Expert, shares insights from his research on why organizations struggle to keep pace despite the critical triggers pushing for it. He then unpacks why a strategic, stepwise approach isn't just faster, but the only way to move from reactive "rip-and-replace" emergencies to a proactive, planned future. Tune in to learn how to do Modernization right.

Discover the transformative power of IoT for buildings, revolutionizing automation, energy efficiency, operations as well as scalability. In this episode, delve into the world of IoT-enabled solutions for buildings with our special guest, Yannic Baeuchle, Global Product Manager for IoT at Siemens Smart Infrastructure. Join us on this journey into the future, where innovation meets sustainability, creating smarter and autonomous buildings.

In this episode, host Jon Lester and Siemens Cybersecurity Manager for Automation and Connected Devices, Francesco Negosanti discuss the importance and strengths of BACnet Secure Connect. As building connectivity increases, secure end-to-end communication is needed to ensure cybersecure buildings, whether new or existing. Do you want to deep dive into the topic? Tune in now!

Aging fire safety setups present challenges: spare parts availability, high false alarm rates, code compliance, or teams operating in a manual, reactive mode. Stretching to the limit eventually results in a rip-and-replace emergency modernization. In this episode, Thomas Zermin, Global Portfolio Manager for Fire Safety Services at Siemens Smart Infrastructure, explains why a strategic, phased modernization may take longer on the calendar, but is the fastest way to start leveraging new functionalities, and gain planning security and budget control. The benefits show real customer stories: 80% fewer false alarms, 30'000 EUR savings in staff efficiency, or incident reduction from 300 to 3 per week!

The average life span of a fire safety setup is 20-25 years – quite long compared to other disciplines. However, if we assume that a building has a life cycle of about 60 years, owners must expect to modernize their fire safety system 2-3 times. And these cycles are more than a 1:1 replacement. In this episode, Thomas Zermin, Global Portfolio Manager for Fire Safety Services at Siemens Smart Infrastructure, talks about the changes and constants in his 30 years of industry experience, some new drivers and the opportunities that IoT and cloud connectivity bring.
