Today we review titles in catalogs of best practice literature with claims about a component, system or practice of “smartness” evident in advanced features involving connectivity, automation and adaptation. We limit our exploration to the catalogs of the accredited standards developers listed below:
American Society of Civil Engineers
American Society of Mechanical Engineers
ASHRAE International
ASTM International
Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
International Electrotechnical Commission
International Standardization Association
National Fire Protection Association
Underwriters Laboratories
Let’s explore why the term “smart” appears in these contexts; keeping in mind that today’s time will not be spent on artificial intelligence “standards”; if they exist at all. That domain is far from stabilized. Use the login credentials at the upper right of our home page.
