Subject
Is biology the next operational layer of the built environment?
I. The Premise
An observation on how organisations attend to the buildings they occupy.
For decades organisations have invested heavily in understanding the condition of their physical assets. Mechanical, electrical, energy, water, fire, and security systems are all continuously monitored. Today, predictive maintenance has become standard practice.
Yet another operational system quietly influences the health, resilience and performance of almost every building.
Rather than asking how to respond once biological problems become visible, this working session explores a different question.
The Research Question
If predictive maintenance transformed the management of mechanical assets, should organisations begin monitoring the biological condition of buildings with the same operational discipline?
