The Power of an Intelligent Building:A Fusion of Building Systems and Technologies

James A. Viviano, CTS

October 17, 2016

Learning Outcomes

1. Explore the general concept of an Intelligent Building.

2. Identify the various systems and technologies, and the role they play in this design approach.

3. Evaluate the challenges faced by facility executives, campus administrators and architects associated with designing, constructing, owning and operating an Intelligent Building.

4. Identify the potential long-term benefits and Return on Investment (ROI) of an Intelligent Building.

What does an “Intelligent Building” mean to you

Think, Pair, Share

An “Intelligent Building”

“The most profound technologies are those that disappear.

They weave themselves into the fabric of everyday life until they are indistinguishable from it.”

― Dr. Mark WeiserUbiquitous Computing

An “Intelligent Building”…

…is a “living and breathing” structure that predicts

and responds to the habits of the tenants in ways that benefit their comfort, productivity and safety while optimizing the building’s operations and efficiencies.

“The Rise of Smart Buildings,” Computerworld, March 14, 2005

A Smart Building

The Old Model:

Technologies and Data are in “Silos”

The New Model: All Silos are Connected

A Fusion of Systems and Technologies

Power over Ethernet (PoE) meets Light-Emitting Diode (LED)

The Lighting Revolution

“IoT will explode: connected endpoint devices are expected to grow 32 percent per year, reaching an installed base of 20 billion devices in 2020. In 2020 alone 6.6 billion "things" are expected to ship, and hardware spending on connected endpoints will reach $3 trillion.”

Next Steps

A Recent Request for Proposal

Sequences of Operations and Measurement and Verification

• Provide a complete and coordinated written sequence of operations for all controlled mechanical, electrical, lighting, plumbing, and low voltage systems. Coordinate sequences and control diagrams with all parties as needed for implementation and testing. Include control drawings and points lists for all controlled sequences.

• In addition to sequences of operations, provide algorithms of optimization and a measurement and verification plan for all energy using systems. Submit Measurement and Verification plan at Design Development. Update the plan in Construction Documents. Measurement and Verification plan covers the whole building and subsystems, defining ongoing metrics and acceptable ranges for fault detection.
