Building BIOS Architecture

The Building BIOS scope includes the foundational digital coordination of the building and its registered engineering assets.

In scope are:

building identity;

BIOS identity and version;

trusted boot and system integrity;

component and Cartridge discovery;

identity verification;

enrollment and registration;

Interface discovery;

compatibility verification;

capability negotiation;

topology construction;

spatial and dependency mapping;

Engineering Profile selection;

configuration validation;

configuration baselines;

configuration versioning;

state and event management;

service initialization;

health and diagnostic coordination;

fault and restriction records;

user, service, robot, and AI permissions;

controlled access to building information;

backup, restore, and recovery;

integration with Digital Twin, BMS, AI, robotics, and external systems.

The BIOS may coordinate but does not necessarily execute:

room temperature control;

lighting schedules;

appliance behavior;

occupant automation;

energy optimization;

predictive analytics;

AI decision-making;

detailed robotic motion planning;

engineering design calculations;

The BIOS scope shall extend to passive components where their identity, condition, structural role, location, or lifecycle history is important, even if they have no electronic communication capability.
