Let’s Build a Smarter Planet:Smarter Buildings from the Earth up


Smarter Buildings – Smarter Infrastructure

Cities are Complex, Adaptive Systems of Systems

Atlantic Council Awards Dinner, Washington, D.C., April 29, 2009

“And a city is a system—indeed, a city is a complex system of systems. All the ways in which the world works—from transportation, to energy, to healthcare, to commerce, to education, to security, to food and water and beyond—come together in our cities.”

Facilities, buildings, campuses are becoming interconnected, instrumented, and

intelligent leading to new savings and efficiency — and new possibilities for progress

We are at a tipping point where digital meets physical

Smarter BuildingsIntegrated and optimized physical and digital

infrastructures that are cost effective and

operationally efficient for energy, water, waste,

GHG management and can serve as micro grids

A Smarter Buildings to Cities simulation calibration project include 4 phases

12 IBM Confidential

Phase Activity Outcome

Data Collection Review the main issues (hexagon

brainstorming), identify data

sources and gather data

Documentation detailing the

sources and the data

Causal Logic Refinement Interviews with subject matter

experts on the specifics of how the

district operates in a city context

Model explorer that shows how

systems within your city are

connected to district performance

Simulation Calibration Review inputs and results of

subsystems with city experts;

gather additional data needed for

model based on causal logic

refinement

Model subsystems that have been

tuned to represent your city

Implementation Tuning the model and review of

model behavior; preparation of

insights and final simulation

Presentations to city departments

and constituencies

City Simulation Engine and Interface

IBM System Dynamics for Smarter Buildings to Cities

IBM Smarter Cities System Dynamics

City Causal Logic

A process for creating a shared understanding among subject matter experts and citizens of the

underlying interconnected structures that make up a city

The resulting structure can then be explored through an interactive visual map and through policy

simulation

Business value is created through its use in discovery, testing, communication, and constituency building



14

Our projects need to be adaptable in structure and guided by the City’s values

Black box solutions will not fly - city leaders need to know why A affects B

Transparency is not enough – complexity must be managed as well

Cities will not necessarily think in our category structure

The co-creation process is as valuable as the actual model and is essential to buy-in

A bullet proof model is less correct than one which includes softer factors and is adaptable

General Lessons

Business Value

We are working with IBM technical teams to provide context to event/real-time models

Project learning will inform future versions of IBM web content like CityOne

We are approaching other cities to assess interest in fee based projects
