Developing a
structural damage
classifier using
support vector
machines.
• Used for accelerating post-earthquake damage evaluation of critical buildings. This will allow
faster recovery time and decrease financial losses expected from downtime and repair.
• Using k-means clustering, each ground motion is categorized based on frequency content.
• The most influential feature is the correlation between the fundamental period and the
earthquake type.
• A preliminary safety evaluation of a building is possible using this damage state classifier.

• The huge amount of data can help the smart buildings to make reactive – and even
anticipatory and personalized – real-time alterations to a building’s environment to suit its
occupants.
• The same technology can prolongue the time that elderly people can remain in their own
homes by allowing remote monitoring of health through blood pressure and heart monitors
that note behavior patterns and highlight any change that might indicate a problem.
• Smart Buildings are conceived as upgradeable due to the fact that technology changes, with
elements added in such a way that they can easily be changed as technology and the
building’s use develop.

• The results support the feasibility of using machine learning tools to estimate
building parameters as a convenient and accurate approach, as long as the
requested query bears resemblance to the data actually used to train the
mathematical model in the first place.

• The SaaS (cloud based) software works with the buildings existing
BEMS and utility demand response systems, incorporating weather
forecasts, occupant comfort, utility prices and demand response
signals into its optimization algorithms.
