Q11multiple_choice
Once static structures, buildings increasingly function as dynamic systems thanks to applications of data science to the built environment. Building data science uses sensors and Internet of Things (IoT) devices, such as smart thermostats, to collect and interpret data from buildings. This approach enables architects and planners to make informed decisions throughout a building's design, operation, and renovation phases. Sensors embedded in modern buildings track variables such as energy consumption, temperature, air quality, and occupancy patterns. These insights help optimize energy use, reduce operational costs, and enhance comfort. Smart HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning) systems can adjust airflow based on real-time occupancy, improving efficiency. Monitoring space usage may conflict, however, with occupants' privacy concerns and dislike of being tracked without their consent. Despite high initial costs, building data science offers long-term benefits. Studies show that buildings using these systems can reduce energy consumption by up to 30 percent, making them attractive for sustainable development. As urban populations grow, building data science will be key to creating adaptable spaces. A skyscraper that adjusts its internal climate based on external weather conditions exemplifies this potential. Other applications include optimizing the layouts of hospitals for better patient flow or using occupancy data to redesign underutilized office spaces.
The word "static" in the passage is closest in meaning to
A. impractical
B. unchanging
C. wasteful
D. simple
