Data Management
The term “smart building” was originally introduced by the European Union in the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD)[1] as one of the main enablers of the future of the built environment, particularly the building sector.
Smart buildings are able to manage their energy generation, performance and demand depended on asset use and the internal and environmental conditions [2]

Strategic Objectives of BEP
Objectives of BEP shall be allignwed with Exchange Information Requirements
Secondary Supply – diverse cable route
This guidance covers the routing of secondary supply cables from a life safety generator to the ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch), and the final equipment with reference to:
BS 7671:2018+A2:2022, specifically Section 560: Safety Services
BS 8519:2020, with emphasis on Clause 7 (Cable Routing) and Clause 11 (Cable Selection)
The goal: clarify requirements for the diverse cable routing and maintain circuit integrity under fire conditions for systems that support life safety and fire-fighting applications, such as sprinkler pumps, fire-fighting lifts, and smoke control systems.
