Subject field(s)
  • Risks and Threats (Security)
  • IT Security
  • Cybernetic Systems
CONT

The root of this cyber-physical risk is that computers now control nearly every mechanical process.... Thermostats, HVAC [heating, ventilation and air conditioning] systems and locks, among others, are now increasingly just interconnected computer systems. Hacking the network of an interconnected smart building could provide access to all connected devices. As the adoption of technology and connectivity increase, physical cyber attacks and failures have become a reality for many industries, from health care facilities to power plants, aviation to manufacturing.

Record 3 2000-12-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Building Ventilation
  • Building Management and Maintenance
CONT

Building mechanicals includes heating/cooling regulators as well as security systems, alarms, and other safety devices. Potentially at-risk items for review are security or mechanical devices that detect motion, sound, light or temperature fluctuations, and emergency control devices that may trigger an automated emergency call(911 or UI Public Safety). Elevators, automated lighting systems, electronic vending machines, keyed access devices or continuous current monitors must also be reviewed for compliance.

CONT

On the other hand, for the air conditioning and ventilating systems, CHIYODA’s project team involves an individual building mechanical engineer who is not positioned under the building engineer, but equally positioned. Accordingly the design of building mechanicals such as air conditioning, ventilating, supply and return plumbing of water and other utilities, is advanced coordinated with the building design.
