Sentient buildings

该项目旨在将部署在建筑物中的各种传感器阵列的输出统一为一个连贯的整体。通过协调对来自多个传感器的资源和人员的检测，它旨在实现在公共场所(如医院)内更有效地分配共享资源，并实现更有效的应急响应。它还打算让建筑随着时间的推移适应它的使用方式，或不断变化的条件。预计这将使澳大利亚建筑业和建筑运营商受益，为他们提供宝贵的出口商品。它还打算通过提供更安全、更有保障和更适宜居住的环境，使建筑物的居民受益。

This project aims to unite outputs from the large and varied array of sensors deployed in buildings into a coherent whole. By coordinating detections of resources and personnel from multiple sensors, it intends to enable more efficient allocation of shared resources within a public site such as a hospital, and enable a more effective emergency response. It intends to also allow the building to adapt over time to the way it is used, or to changing conditions. This is expected to benefit the Australian construction industry as well as building operators, giving them a valuable export commodity. It intends also to benefit inhabitants of the buildings by providing a more safe, secure and accommodating environment.
