  1. Technology Roadmap for Intelligent Buildings 2 September, 2002 Ron Zimmer President & CEO Continental Automated Buildings Association (CABA)

  2. Five Key Drivers for Building Owners • Key Segment Drivers • Return on investment • Tenant retention / tenant recruitment • Maximize asset utilization • Manage energy consumption • Facility security These needs can be met in two primary ways….

  3. Meeting the needs of the building owners 1. Optimize asset utilization How, when, why, by whom….. 2. Manage energy consumption “Utility costs are 30% of the average office building’s annual operating expenses.” (2000 BOMA Experience Exchange Report)

  4. Facts about the industry in N. America • $120 billion per year of electricity and gas consumption • $160 billion per year in operations and maintenance services provided by more than 40,000 suppliers • From 1995 - 2000, commercial offices have become 11% less efficient in managing energy consumption • Vacancy rates are climbing…rents and profits are declining • Environmental pressures are increasing • Increasing reliance on high-quality “off-grid” energy will continue The industry must find a way to increase services and profits while reducing costs

  5. Intelligent Buildings - What is the impact? • Increased ROI • Increased resources for security and safety upgrades • Enhances tenant comfort, convenience and “security-sense” • Reduced energy consumption also reduces consumption of natural resources in generation & distribution process

  6. “Most of us live in a culture where for at least 5 days each week, we only use the outdoors to move from one building to another building.” Intelligent buildings - This is about all sectors • Office Buildings • Hospitals • Schools • Multi-use Buildings • Government Buildings • Homes

  7. What is an intelligent building? or……what makes abuildingintelligent?

  8. Survey of 50 Building Industry Leaders • Owner / Occupant • Property Developers / Operators • Architecture • Engineering • Consultants / Analysts • Building Security • Energy Management • HVAC Supplier • Controls / Automation • Software Technology • Contractors • Communications / IT

  9. Survey of Industry Leaders - Geographic Scope • United States • Canada • United Kingdom • Germany • Hong Kong • Brazil

  10. Survey Industry Leaders - Question…. When you hear the term “Intelligent Building”, what are 4-5 points that you think are primary characteristics of an Intelligent Building?

  11. Survey Industry Leaders - Sample Answers • No one knows - it’s a mystery • A building with a heart • A building with a brain • A building that talks to other buildings • An integrated building • Flexible & intelligent workspaces • Maximizes my return on investment

  12. Continental Automated Buildings Association Definition of an intelligent building A building and its infrastructure which provides the owner, operator and occupant with an environment which is flexible, effective, comfortable and secure through the use of integrated technological building systems, communications and controls.

  13. Combining systems that freely exchange information should result in increased efficiency, reduced costs and a safer and more comfortable environment... + = “A consolidated database contains more information & can answer more questions than the sum of the information in the smaller databases before combination” -Oracle Database synergy law

  14. Survey Industry Leaders - Primary Characteristics • Access Controls integrated to other sub-systems • Open communications & control protocols • Integrated sub-systems • IT integration • Historical trending • Anticipate needs of occupant • Energy efficient • Easy to use controls & interfaces • Flexible • Asset utilization controls & management tools • Internet-based control • Real-time monitoring of all systems • Wireless protocols & IT infrastructure • Elevator controls integrated with other sub-systems • Intelligent & efficient building materials • Flexible & intelligent work areas

  15. Survey Industry Leaders - Results

  16. Technology Roadmap Steering Committee • Fifteen industry leaders • Suppliers • Consultants • Building Owners • Energy Providers • Government Experts • Equity Markets

  17. Candidate Systems Intelligent Buildings Technologies can incorporate: • Fire and life safety systems • Heating ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) • Elevators and escalators • Access control systems and security systems; • Lighting management • Energy management systems • Telecommunications • IT infrastructure • Community infrastructure • End user services

  18. What is an intelligent building? LIGHTING Schedules Occupancy Sensing FIRE Functionality checks Detector service Fire, Life, Safety LIFTS Breakdown Maintenance Traffic Performance SECURITY Doors PIR Integration G COMMUNICATIONS Voice/Video/Data W ACCESS Doors Buildings Occupancy Feed Forward 24/7 Monitoring Breakdown Plant Tuning Conditioned Monitoring Car Park Utilisation E ENERGY Utility Monitoring (Elec/Water/Gas/Oil) Tenant Building Air/Water Heat Lighting Back-up Generation HVAC Air-Handling Unit Boilers Pumps Fans Energy Control Variable Air Volume Air Quality

  19. OPC/XML BACnet/LonWorks Technology Open Standards Interoperability Innovation Plug n Play Evolution of Interoperability IT Standards are driving the transfer, communications and transport layers…. Modbus/DDE Multi-Vendor Common Protocols Proprietary Systems Connectivity Integration • Information is • distributed on a • transport layer • Hardwire (Ethernet, Firewire, Serial) • Optical (Fiber) • Wireless (BlueTooth, WAP, IEEE 802.11)

  20. Stakeholders – Who benefits? • Government and other industry agencies • Real Estate developers • Building Owners / Operators • Architects • Design engineers • Construction industry • Building equipment and system suppliers • Technology developers • Building occupants/end users

  21. Intelligent Buildings – What are the benefits? • Upgrade modifications • Individual “tenant” control of environment • Management of consumption costs • Control “off-hours” building systems • Ability to track tenant actual use • Maximize asset (building) utilization • Not vendor-dependent

  22. Ken Sinclair - AutomatedBuildings.com “Although we as an industry have said the words before, we have never reached our potential of providing intelligence or integration in our buildings. …As an industry, we must work harder and faster to educate sophisticated owners and designers as to the new capabilities of our industry, while learning about how they perceive our involvement in their corporate enterprise. To achieve these goals it is necessary to create new relationships with specialized building integration and intelligence designers to explore possibilities with the owners’ data enterprise.” Ken Sinclair AutomatedBuildings.com May 2002

  23. Challenges & Barriers • Cost - who will pay? • Lease structures • Public education • Technology “silos” • Not all stakeholders aware of benefits • Codes & standards do not always support integrated & intelligent processes • “Rush” to judgment & short-term solutions • “Real-time” monitoring & diagnostic tools not available on all sub-systems • Tradition • Education / Training for industry professionals

  29. How does it help me? 1. Optimize asset utilization How, when, why, by whom….. 2. Manage energy consumption “Utility costs are 30% of the average office building’s annual operating expenses.” (2000 BOMA Experience Exchange Report)

  30. The Good News… The good news is that we are all listening to one another….

  31. Our mutual responsibilities…. Continue to insist that all disciplines in the building industry continue to work together toward the common goal…meeting your needs and the needs of your customers!!
