Specification

DESC:FIELD OF THE INVENTION:
The present invention relates to monitoring systems and more particularly to systems for monitoring activities related to the environmental measures at under-constructions sites.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION:
Environment is a major concern in today’s world as the changing urban landscape is leading to the depletion of our natural resources which is going to lead the mankind to a catastrophe. The building developers must be made aware about their construction activities and the impact it is leaving on our environment. There may be various construction management tools and formats deployed on site during construction however these are typically devoid of considerations and tracking of environmental aspects during building construction.
In general, structural health monitoring (SHM) involves the observation and analysis of a system over time using periodically sampled response measurements to monitor changes to the material and geometric properties of engineering structures such as bridges and buildings. Presently, the health of the buildings is measured through piezometer, inclinometer, data loggers, tiltmeters and beam sensors, extensometer, pressure cells and strain gauge. Some of the attempts made in the prior art to monitor the health of under-constructions sites are discussed as under.
U.S Patent Application US10990069B1 to Michael S. Jacob is a System and methods for monitoring building health. Various types of sensors are embedded throughout or within certain portions of different types of building or construction material making up the building, such as within roofing, foundation, or structural materials. The sensors are in wireless communication with a home controller. The sensors are water, moisture, temperature, vibration, or other types of sensors, and may detect unexpected or abnormal conditions within the home. The sensors and/or home controller may transmit alerts to a mobile device of the homeowner associated with the unexpected condition, and/or that remedial actions may be required to repair the home or mitigate further damage to the home. The sensor data may also be communicated to an insurance provider remote server to facilitate the insurance provider communicating insurance-related recommendations, updating insurance policies, or preparing insurance claims for review for homeowner. However, discussed U.S Patent Application monitors health of a completely developed building.
Another U.S Patent Application US11454606B2 to Pouria Ghods is a method and systems relating to construction material assessment. The U.S Patent Application address queries relating to concrete testing and concrete structure characterization, more particularly to electrical methods and systems for establishing cured concrete performance from measurements of wet concrete, automated methods and systems for periodic and/or continuous characterization of concrete structures, electrical methods and systems for corrosion measurement of rebar in reinforced concrete structures, construction material process monitoring and compact self-contained electrical sensors with wireless interfaces.
Yet another U.S Patent Application US20240249141A1 to Saurabh Ladha is a system for monitoring construction of a structure. The U.S Patent discloses a computer system that generates a three-dimensional (3D) visualization of a building structure that is undergoing construction. The system determines a location of an object in the building structure and map the object to an expected object in a 3D model of the building structure. The system may detect a discrepancy between the object of the building structure and the expected object in the 3D model, and determine that the discrepancy exceeds a threshold, which constitutes a reportable error. In response, the system determines a modification to the building structure to compensate for the discrepancy, adjust a schedule for construction or a cost estimate to compensate for an impact of the discrepancy or the modification to the building structure, and send a message that reports the discrepancy and the modification.
The state-of-the-art technologies have systems for monitoring the quality and safety measures of a developed architecture. However, state of the art technologies lack systems for monitoring safety measures, quality control, quality assurance, and typically do not consider environmental measures and compliances and the like of the under-construction architecture. Conventional systems lack a way to notify the developer regarding any glitches in an under-construction architecture. Further, conventional systems are more focused on the environmental measures either during design, that is pre-construction or post-occupancy stages. Hence, this gap in the building construction industry is not closed and needs to be addressed.
Hence, there is a need of a system for real-time monitoring and auditing environmental measures of an under-construction building particularly focused on environmental measures. Further, there is also a need of a system for providing weightage score for ease of evaluation and tracking of environmental measures and performance of the under-constructions architecture based on environmental measures.
