Firas and the Smart Building Brain
What if buildings had a brain?
Join Firas, a curious 10-year-old with a passion for technology, as he takes a behind-the-scenes tour of a futuristic smart building! Guided by his systems engineer uncle, Firas steps into a world where lights, air conditioning, and even doors respond automatically — all controlled by an intelligent brain called the Building Management System (BMS).
From motion-activated lights to energy-saving controls, Firas discovers how buildings today can think, breathe, and respond to the people inside. He even offers a clever idea that surprises the engineers!
With colorful explanations and a child-friendly look at how BMS systems manage temperature, ventilation, fire alarms, and energy usage, this story is perfect for kids aged 8–11 who are curious about smart technology, engineering, and how we can make buildings safer and more efficient.
