Technology Roadmap for Intelligent Buildings Explores and explains the current status and imminent opportunities offered by accelerating the evolution and use of intelligent building technologies. The focus is on commercial, institutional and high-rise residential buildings, both new projects and retro-fits, in a five year horizon. Defines Intelligent Buildings Technology (IBT) systems Examines requirements of building managers and tenants Identifies opportunities to reduce building operating costs using IBTs Examines challenges to IBTs, including need for interoperability of sub- systems Stresses need to quantify the benefits and increase awareness of IBTs through education

IB Definition Intelligent Building: One where technological buildings systems, communications and controls are integrated to create an infrastructure and a building that provides the owner, operator and occupant with an environment which is flexible, effective, comfortable and secure. TELECOMMUNICATIONS Intelligent Building OFFICE AUTOMATION BUILDING MANAGEMENT

The Benefits The ability to access a building independently and securely outside of normal working hours Standardized infrastructure allows for simple upgrades and modification of systems Higher building and rental value Lower and/or controllable consumption costs Greater occupant/tenant control over building systems A single control point interfaces allows for easy modification of telephone, security, LAN, wireless devices, building directory, etc...

The Benefits--for the Stakeholders Building Developers Advanced functionality Customize building spaces Building Owners/Operators Reduce operating and maintenance costs Some building function can also be given to the occupant. Greater operational flexibility and need for less staff

The Benefits--for the Stakeholders Developer/Owners Automation reduces the cost of operating staff Added building functionality results in increased rents and building value Equipment and System Manufacturers Standards based products + interoperable systems= decreased costs and increase reliability. Therefore, a bigger pie is created

The Challenges Financial impact Higher up front costs versus lower operational costs Need for an integrated design/build process (including architects, engineers, owners, developers, and contractors) IBs must react to component and system failures more reliably Education, experience and changed practices are needed throughout the supplier community Competing technologies Unclear standards

The Challenges--for the Stakeholders Developers/Owners New methods and techniques are needed Challenge of accepting a higher financial risk/investment weighed against a higher financial return. Need for education

The Challenges--for the Stakeholders Occupant/Tenant Must be made aware of the changes in building operation. Costs and savings must be managed. Designers Team committment Construction Processes Traditional construction process

The Challenges--for the Stakeholders Building Codes Current codes may be too restrictive to allow for the ideal installation Move towards objective-based codes Technology Competing standards Proprietary technologies LACK OF INTEROPERABILITY!

Trends Integration of communications providing an overall integration solution Single control console that uses a single software Phase out of separate control rooms Shift from investment based on lowest initial cost to one based on highest value Suppliers developing intelligent, self-diagnosing, fault-tolerant controllers

Market Drivers Reduced costs Greater ease of operation (operator and tenant) Greater reliability Societal Impacts Worker connectivity IBTs are positioned to allow workers to access and control their work environments “It’s common for technology to be introduced to reduce costs, while its greatest value turns out to be the added value capabilities it brings.”

Future Technology Impacts Fibre optics Biometrics Terrorism Multi-function sensors (temp., IAQ, light, occupancy) Software and interfaces now allow users to control their workspace Because technological solutions exist, tenants are starting to demand them

Conclusions (top 5) There are currently many IBT products capable of automating and integrating all major building systems BAS can reduce costs and increase productivity and comfort Lack of properly assessable IBT reference projects Significant shortage of trained, knowledgeable and certified professionals in the design, installation and integration of IBSystems IBTs require the cooperation of the entire design team including the owner, developer, architect and engineers

Recommendations (top 6) Increase awareness of IBTs and their positive impact on the investment Document the savings through cost/benefit analyses Reference examples Demonstration projects Education must be provided at all levels (includes architects, engineers, developers, owners and construction) True interoperability must be pursued

Recommendations (top 6) Warranty related Ensure that individual systems interoperate Building codes must realize that IBTs provide improved safety and functionality Contractual recommendations Contracts must contain non-exclusive service requirements and sharing of service facilities Service agreements must ensure overall system reliability

Recommendations (top 6) Adoption of a single communications infrastructure with an integrated design (Division 17) Communications becomes a utility within building Single contractor to install communications infrastructure Certify communications infrastructure
