Lift as Subject of Risk Analysis in the Context of Smart Buildings

Abstract

Buildings are called smart buildings of they create productive and cost-effective environment using optimization of four basic components: building construction, technical equipment, service and management, as well as optimization of their mutual relations. Residual risk value taking into consideration technical equipment are defined in case of smart buildings. Prevention against possible risks requires implementation of specific systems within the framework of active intelligence (e.g. fire detection, CCTV, evacuation systems). Communication system based on application of digitization principles concerning all the relevant operational information is an integrated component of all active prevention. Defining of the threats, together with quantitative evaluation of risks are important components of the risk analyses. Digital processing of information by means of a central unit creates conditions required for definitions of inputs into actuators. The proposed model, which belongs among complex systems determined for control of smart building operation, is applied to a group of fire lifts.
