Technical Seminar: How Agentic AI Transform O&M in Engineering

This seminar will provide the latest updates on How Agentic AI Transform O&M in Engineering: Key topics include: 1. How data standardisation and a semantic layer can serve as the foundation for agentic AI in engineering O&M by converting heterogeneous building data, equipment relationships, operational records, maintenance knowledge, and system schematics into a unified and contextualised information environment. 2. Practical cases in energy analysis and fault diagnosis are introduced to illustrate how the framework can assist engineers in identifying operational inefficiencies, detecting abnormal system behaviour, and recommending maintenance actions.

Technical Talk: Low Voltage Installations - From 17th to 18th Edition: Aligning EIR 2011 with Current Wiring Regulations

The presentation traces the full regulatory evolution across 14 years of amendments, examining what changed in each successive edition (Amendments 1-3 of the 17th Edition, and Amendments 1-4 of the 18th Edition), and maps those changes to specific clauses in the EIR that require updating. Key compliance gaps addressed include: - RCD protection expanded from socket outlets - Surge Protective Devices (SPDs) becoming mandatory in most installations - Arc Fault Detection Devices (AFDDs) now required for socket circuits - 32A in high-risk premises - Metal/non-combustible enclosures mandated for consumer units (Reg. 421.1.201) - New sections required for EV charging, prosumer/PV installations, and energy efficiency - Certification forms (Appendices 11A-11C) to be replaced with BS 7671 Appendix 6 formats
