Temet White Paper Smart Shelter

What is a smart shelter

In a Smart Shelter all critical functions are combined and integrated into one Smart Shelter Control System having one interface
and providing automatic control of the shelter functions. The major benefits gained by automation of the shelter functions are:

• Response time to outside threat is shortened
• Risk of operational errors is mitigated
• Control and operation of the shelter in various sheltering modes is simplified
• The shelter operator will have a real time situational awareness as basis for decision making
• The Smart Shelter Control System can be integrated into wider outside systems such as Building Management Systems
(BMS)
• The Smart Shelter Control System can provide all necessary data for the shelter system service and maintenance operations
• Operational shelters such as command, control and communication centers
will benefit the most by having the shelter functions automated
