The building blackbox is connected to all sorts of sensors throughout the building.
It registers doors opening and closing, like entrance doors, elevators, automatic slide doors etc.
It senses shaking of walls and all vibrations.
It senses heat sources and sprinkler systems.
It monitors electric
outlets.
It monitors heating systems.
All such data is collected in the black box which is resistent to fire and very sturdy.
When a building catches fire or collapses the exact causes and progression of the calamity are recorded so that we can find out what happened and future buildings can be made safer.
If a blackbox cannot be made to withstand the turmoil, then maybe it can be ejected beofre it is destroyed and land somwhere close with a parashute.
Or all data could be on a website but that just isn't retro enough. If we do that we might as well have airplanes send their data to the web.

boned for privacy: Would you want a detailed record kept of your comings, cummings, goings, goings, shower time and location, and everything else that causes minute vibrations? |

If you follow the example of a CVR and, for instance, only record the last (say) 12 hours of data, there's no real privacy issue. |

Something like this in, for example, hotels, could be very useful for tracking how a disaster may have unfolded. [+] |

It should monitor cigarette smoke in case a cigarette caused the fire. |

A building with a memory . All it needs now is some processing and the building can panic before you do . |

From the title, I was expecting a black box which would labour and bring forth a building. |

Information leakage: terrible privacy violations. |

the basic concept is excellent (+) |

There are no privacy issues, it does not detect your presence in the toilet, it detects the source of heat from your sneaky sigarette and the smoke, not your name. It is not an alarm system, it is a registration. |
