Resumen de Buildings predict their own faults
Imagine a building that tells people that the heating is about to fail--a week before it happens. Some companies are using machine learning to do just that. It's called predictive maintenance. Software firm CGnal, based in Milan Italy, recently analyzed a year's worth of data from the heating and ventilation units in an Italian hospital. Sensors are now commonly built into heating, ventilation and air-conditioning units, and the team had records of information such as temperature, humidity and electricity use relating to appliances in operating theatres and first aid rooms as well as corridors.
