Heritage and refurbishment Combined with this will be a revolution in
the internet of things, predictive data analytics, advanced diagnostics and artificial intelligence – long used in other industries – which will allow construction teams to optimise their operations. The future for heritage refurbishments will therefore be about collecting, analysing and trending data into useful information, resulting in better management decision making. Despite the opportunities presented by
technology, fire safety on construction and refurbishment projects can still operate wholly independently, with each project having its own set of manually based procedures. More recently, with an ongoing focus on personnel safety, and increased attention to setting benchmarks for risk management from the insurance industry, there has been a drive towards harmonisation. JCOP has created a common safety platform across the UK and Europe. Only by taking a planned approach
to fire safety – including adopting wireless technology and all that it offers in terms of fire, safety and security – can stakeholders have confidence that this area has been taken seriously and that our heritage buildings are being protected
