Project
"We cannot develop a new London building without an intelligent
building strategy".
Background • We occupied numerous buildings around the Broadgate area.
• Need to consolidate our business functions into one building.
• Building operational team engaged from inception and with
customer experience at the centre of what we do.
UBS • In house team of operational subject matter experts associated
with each function
• Moved towards the IFM model during the life of the project
• Drive to reduce cost but maintain quality and service
5 Broadgate • 700,000 ft2 pre let development by BlueButton properties
• One of the largest pre let buildings in the city
• Aligned with existing lease breaks
• Tenant (UBS) engaged from the outset
• Separate design teams for the Base Build / Fit Out with UBS
engagement throughout the end to end process.

What is an 'Intelligent Building'?
We will all have a different interpretation of what an "Intelligent or Smart" building
is….
integrates
energy management
efficient
Improved process
superior indoor environment
reduce energy consumption
occupant comfort
productivity
Carbon Reduction
A building that integrates technology and
process to create a facility that is safer, more
comfortable and productive for its occupants,
and more operationally efficient for its owners.
Advanced technology—combined with
improved processes for design, construction
and operations—provide a superior indoor
environment that improves occupant comfort
and productivity while reducing energy
consumption and operations staffing.
An intelligent building is the integration of
technology, building, and energy management
systems. An intelligent or smart building takes a
number of building systems and brings them
together to reduce energy consumption and
make the building as efficient as possible.
Intelligent buildings mean many things depending on your
perspective and role.

Approach
“The solution required engagement from the operational teams as well as our
technology team in a working group to conceptualise (Blue Sky Thinking) the
solution.
Requirements
considered,
documented,
specified and risk
approved in line
with design and
build programme
Systems - Review the number of systems involved and differentiate between
business and building systems.
Network Solution - Decide on your network solution, the high/low level cabling
conveyance, IP addressing and v lan strategies.
POE/Main Powered – Quantify and differentiate between POE and Mains powered
devices.
Risk - Understand the Risk Review process and seek approval early.
User Experience – Document a day in the life of the building users (Client – Staff –
Operators)
Building Operations – Identify how the operational spaces and systems will be
used.
Specification – Through the soft landings process capture and prioritise the
stakeholder aspirations into Day 1..2..3 deliverables..
Graphical User Interface – Standardise look, feel and navigation
Reporting/Alarms – Aligned with operational processes
Language/Conversation – What Protocol will be used and information exchanged
between the systems.
Integration platforms – There are many overarching systems available to create
integration between systems.
Coordination – An enhanced level of coordination between building and technology
designs.
Testing - On site/off site testing in the different hosted environments with corporate
network connectivity.

UBS aspired to provide an INS which includes the basebuild systems and fit out systems
list below: -
Some of the systems were
extended and migrated from the
basebuild deliverables
• Building Management System (BMS)
• Energy Monitoring System (EMS)
• Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)
system
• Lighting Controls / Emergency Lighting
• Leak Detection
• Fire & Voice Alarm
• Security (CCTV, EACS, Intercom & IDS )

Network Solutions
Advances in IP based technology has enabled integration of previously isolated building
systems into integrated network Solution (INS)…
Status Quo
• Multiple silo systems
• Multiple building networks and protocols
• Differing levels of system security and resilience
• Limited interoperability's
• Limited facility data and reporting
• Energy inefficient
• Inefficient processes
Intelligent Building
• Single secure network entity with seamless subsystems
• Common conveyance with HL/LL structured cabling
• Open common protocols
• Infinitely interoperable
• Ubiquitous information & Superior user experience
• Efficient process & Energy efficient
• Affiliated system network architecture and resilience

Network Solutions
Option 1: Direct integration with Corporate Network
INS network switches installed in each BMS MCC, LV Switchboard, Kitchen control panel etc. UBS switches installed in UBS Hub rooms on office floors, ground and basement
levels. Each INS switch is connected to a UBS switch.
Connection between UBS switches is via the UBS structured cabling system.
Pros: Decreased cost for network equipment, cable installation, power supplies and cabinet locations
Decreased cost for network equipment, cable installation, power supplies and cabinet locations
Easier maintenance of equipment and support for backbone network
Cons: Installation coordination more difficult
INS uptime dependant on UBS network
Option 2: Standalone Network (Via Hub Rooms)
INS network switches installed in each BMS MCC, LV Switchboard, Kitchen control panel etc. INS switches installed in UBS Hub rooms on office floors, ground and basement
levels. Each panel switch is connected to a hub room switch.
Hub room switches are connected via dedicated INS backbone network.
Pros: Decreased cost for provision of power supplies and cabinet locations.
Easier maintenance of equipment and support for backbone network
Cons: Dedicated backbone network is an additional cost
Requires interface to UBS network for remote monitoring anyway
Still reliant on UBS Hub room installation
Option 3: Standalone Network
INS network switches installed in each BMS MCC, LV Switchboard, Kitchen control panel etc. Dedicated master INS switches installed on floors (2 no. per floor in separate risers)
for networking of the control systems.
Master switches are connected via dedicated INS backbone network.
Pros: No reliance on UBS equipment for operation or commissioning
Cons: More expensive arrangement for both installation and maintenance
Requires interface to UBS network for remote monitoring anyway
A number of INS network options were considered: -

Information Technology Risk
"Building systems are by their very nature open systems which is at odds with a risk
adverse corporate environment"
Systems – Building systems have been designed to be open, accessible anywhere but will need
to be locked down.
Password Management - Systems and device password management is required, ideally using
active directory.
Firewall Rules – Firewall rules need to be defined, documented and maintained.
Documentation – Standards, Architecture, Operating Models & Risk Review.
Web Browsing – Internal or External.
Hardware – Standard builds and processes for securing operating systems and applications.
Software – Version / change control processes.
Managed Network – All network devices will need to be managed, monitored and locked down.
Testing – Significant testing and documentation before the systems move into production.

Security - integrated networks may be more venerable
to malicious attack or systemic failure
Commissioning and operation - over complex systems
can be difficult to commission and maintain
Dependencies – building has increased reliance on fully
operable IT network
Benefits and Risks
Energy savings - reduced energy load for lighting,
heating, ventilation and air conditioning, lifts, IT
technology, security controls etc..
Reduced operating costs - attention to whole-life costs
rather than only the capital costs
User experience and workplace efficiencies - by
providing the ability for the environment to respond to
particular user/business needs providing a higher level of
comfort for occupants
Resilience - intelligent systems provide close monitoring
in order to ensure that there is no loss of services
Safety & security - enables safety features such as fire
doors, smoke extraction fans, supply fans and dampers
to be controlled and driven to a “safe” position or state
Enables change – systems can be adapted and
extended as business needs change
Operational excellence – real time monitoring and
automated reporting across all systems
Benefits
An Intelligent Building has integrated technologies and systems to support the
use of the accommodation, this results in a number of benefits…
