INTELLIGENT BUILDING FOCUS Communication Systems

Relation to Intelligent Building Importance What Systems are Available How do Systems Compare to Expectations

INTELLIGENT BUILDING(Pre-AE 790 Understanding)

Expectations: Building Systems Affected

MEP, Lighting, Security Building Phases Affected

Operational Commercial = Residential Expensive Automatic Functions

Doors, Lights, HVAC, Entertainment Personality

Communicate with User

INTELLIGENT BUILDING(Pre-AE 790 Understanding)

INTELLIGENT BUILDING(POST-AE 790 Understanding)

INTELLIGENT BUILDING(POST-AE 790 Understanding)

Expectations: Building Systems Affected

All – from A to P Building Phases Affected

All – from Design to Demolition Commercial vs. Residential Not All Expensive (Moore’s Law) Automatic Functions Just Beginning

Sensors, Information Storage, Robotics, AI, etc. Personality vs. Necessary Information Transfer

Control Systems, Networks, BIM, etc.

INTELLIGENT BUILDING FOCUS: – Communication Systems

Where In a Post-AE790 Understanding Does It Fit

Why Is It Important What Systems are Currently Available How Do These Systems Compare to

Expectations

Communication – (Topic 1 of 4)

Building Phase: Operation

Building Systems: Any or All

Where Does It Fit In

Communication – (Topic 2 of 4)

Why Is It Important

Saves Time Saves Money Reduces Stress

Communication Products – (Topic 3 of 4)

What Systems are Currently Available Alarm/Security Systems

U.C.ME (Control-See) LukWerks (WiLife) iControl System (iControl)

Home “Awareness” Systems Home Heartbeat (Eaton)

Communication – U.C.ME

Communication – U.C.ME Notifies users on alarm situations via SMS, WAP,

RSS, Phone, Fax, Email and Multimedia. OPC (OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) for

Process Control) client alarm notification and analysis software.

Supports bidirectional communication via SMS and Phone. Users may acknowledge alarms, query or change tag values via SMS or phone.

Applications: Building management, Security systems, Industrial control, Water treatment, Healthcare.

Communication – LukWerks

Communication – LukWorks Live video monitoring of up to six cameras Motion triggered recordings save disk space Powerful search and playback tools Email and cell phone alerts Free remote viewing for anywhere anytime

access

Communication – iControl

                                               

                                                                        

                                      

                                                                                 

                                           

                                                                            

                                    

                                                                                   

Communication – iControl Remotely monitor heating/AC and lighting levels Schedule heat, cooling or lighting Schedule automatic turn on/off of your energy

systems Remotely know if windows and doors are closed,

that lights are on or off Remotely take snapshots triggered by motion

sensors in a home office, front or back door

Communication – Home Heartbeat

Communication – Home Heartbeat Allows homeowners an all-in-one glimpse at the status

and condition of their homes. The system can be set up to send emails or text message

alerts to cell phones when a problem is detected. Components use low-frequency radio chips to form a

monitoring network throughout the home. The system performs a "health check" that occurs every

24 hours between the base and all components to ensure they are operating properly.

Communication (Topic 4 of 4) • Alarm/Security Only???• What about learning – will I receive emails or texts every

time the cat or dog crosses the motion sensor• 2-way communication – Limited Availability• Why not notify maintenance when service is required• Data Saving – how much data is kept – for how long• What about Gas leak, Open Windows (auto closers), • Options are limited by amount or type of sensors• Why are these systems installed after construction – why

not installed during construction – as part of infrastructure

• Systems seem to lack “intelligence” – Reactive vs. Proactive

How Do These Systems Compare to Expectations
