Intelligent Building And BMS Control Technology , Practical Benefits

Intelligent Building

An intelligent building generally takes a top‐Down holistic perspective in looking at every aspect of a customer’s operation that has the potential to impact energy and costs.

the planning and specifying of the technology and systems to enable the functionality can occur. Solutions may include not only the electrical, mechanical and IT infrastructure but space utilization and people loading factors.

Intelligent Buildings And BMS

The field of Intelligent Buildings, Building Management Systems (BMS) encompasses an enormous variety of technologies, across commercial, industrial, institutional and domestic buildings, including energy management systems and building controls.

The function of Building Management Systems is central to Intelligent Buildings concepts ; its purpose is to control, monitor and optimize building services, eg. , lighting; heating; security, alarm systems; access control; ventilation, filtration and climate control, etc.

The potential within these concepts and the surrounding technology is vast, and our lives are changing from the effects of Intelligent Buildings developments on our living and working environments. The impact on facilities planning and facilities management is also potentially immense.

Control Technologies For Building Services:

The essence of Building Management Systems and Intelligent Buildings is in the control technologies, which allow integration, automation, and optimization of all the services and equipment that provide services and manages the environment of the building concerned.

The use of these technologies allows the optimization of various site and building services, often yielding significant cost reductions and large energy savings. There are numerous methods by which building services within buildings can be controlled, falling broadly into two method types:

• Time based - providing heating or lighting services, etc., only when required, and
• Optimizer Parameter based - often utilizing a representative aspect of the service, such as temperature for space heating or luminance for lighting.

Building Management Systems Saving Energy:

With the dramatic increase and awareness of energy use concerns, and the advances in cost-effective technologies, energy efficiency is fast becoming part of real estate management, facilities management and operations strategy.

The concepts are also now making significant inroads into the domestic residential house building sectors.

For lighting, energy savings can be up to 75% of the original circuit load, which represents 5% of the total energy consumption of the residential and commercial sectors.

Energy savings potential from water heating, cooling, or hot water production, can be up to 10%, which represents up to 7% of the total energy consumption of the residential and commercial sectors.

Building Management Systems practical benefits:

The use of building management system lead to set of practical benefits at two main majors:

-          Lighting Systems

Adding daylight to a building is one way to achieve an energy-effective design. Natural daylight harvesting can make people happier, healthier, and more productive.

And with the reduced need for electric light, a great deal of money can be saved on energy. Nearly every commercial building is a potential energy saving project, where the electric lighting systems can be designed to be dimmed with the availability of daylight .

In addition, by reducing electric lighting and minimizing solar heat gain, controlled lighting can also reduce a building's air conditioning load.

-          Mechanical Systems

The HVAC system and controls, including the distribution system of air into the workspaces, are the mechanical parts of buildings that affect thermal comfort.

These systems must work together to provide building comfort, many people cope by adding fans, space heaters, covering up vents, complaining, conducting thermostat wars with their co-workers, or simply leaving the Place.

Occupants can be driven to distraction trying to adjust the comfort in their space. Improper temperature, humidity, ventilation, and indoor air quality can also have significant impacts on productivity and health. When we are thermally comfortable we work better, shop longer, relax, breathe easier, focus our attention better.

In order to provide a comfortable and healthy indoor environment the building mechanical system must:

• Allow the occupant to control and modify conditions to suit individual preferences.
• Provide an acceptable level of temperature and humidity and safe guard against outdoor and indoor air pollutants.
• Create a sense of habitability through air movement, ventilation and slight temperature variation.
