ABOUT
BARM
(Building Asset Risk Management)
This project is funded by Innovate’s Building Whole Life Performance Competition and is a collaboration between Argand Solutions and the SRI at the University of East London.
The compeition’s specific themes that this project aims to solve were (i) improving a building’s whole-life performance and (ii) providing evidence of whole-life performance. As such, the project focus is to develop an automated Building Asset Risk Management (BARM) application, delivered in the form of Software as a Service (SaaS), that uses electrical power quality data to pre-emptively highlight and enable the focused mitigation of building asset lifetime risks without the need for additional capital spend in metering hardware. |
The Sports Dock, at UEL's Docklands campus, offers an ideal test site to pilot this project as it a multi-use building with a dynamic range of demands; combining £21 million worth of sporting facilities, teaching space and office space.
