Building Automation: The scope for energy and CO2 savingsLeonardo ENERGY
This Leonardo ENERGY study shows a vast energy saving potential for the European building stock, by increasing the adoption and installation of Building Automation Technologies (BAT) and Building/Home Energy Management Systems (HEMS/BEMS). Compared with a reference scenario which assumes a continuation of current trends in the adoption and installation of BAT and BEMS/HEMS, the optimal scenario estimates the savings to reach 22% of all building energy consumption by 2028 and maintain that level thereafter.
Impressive as the saving potentials are, they will not be realized without measures to stimulate both good practice and higher rates of deployment. The report has identified a range of complementary measures and recommended actions.

Meazon white paper_building_energy_profilingGiannis Gionas
Understanding the type and amounts of energy consumed by various systems within a building is fundamental in creating an energy policy and driving consumption down. Building sectors are responsible for approximately 42% of the world’s total annual energy consumption. Most of this energy is used for the provision of lighting, HVAC systems and electricity based office appliances. Buildings in the developed countries account for 50%-60% of electricity use.
Savings can start from the modest and conservative 2% due to simple behavioral changes of the building’s inhabitants and systems’ managers and go up to the impressive 20%++ due to systems automation introduction as well as building envelope interventions. For a portfolio of buildings belonging to the same company, an annual saving of 2% that can be raised to 20%, under certain conditions, could be translated to millions of Dollars or Euros bottom line results, improving EBITDA drastically.
ANALYSIS OF NETWORK PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT DASHBOARDIAEME Publication
Analysis of performance availability is very important to help improve network
performance. This is due to developing services to be used by customers. In performance
availability it is known that there are many problems that occur in each event in the
field. In achieving the optimal level in carrying out the implementation and support
processes of the performance management dashboard, an analysis is needed to develop
management and control in the networking division with the aim of generating
utilization in the implementation and support processes to align with the business needs
of PT ABC. The existing reference model is a reference model that refers to the
functional area of FCAPS. The FCAPS model consists of five functional areas,
including fault management, configuration management, accounting management,
performance management, and security management. In general, companies have
implemented FCAPS on failure issues and configurations (fault and configuration).
Security / security has relied on other tools that are not integrated in the FCAPS model
as a whole. The basic principle is, even though there are five elements from FCAPS,
one element can influence the success of other elements.

iBMS - SmartCity fundamentals (Example)
1. 1.1
Integrated Building Management Solution
1.1.1
Systems Integration
With the integration of all systems to the UPI, the relevant organization will achieve the
provision of best practise standard services and value added enhanced services to the
inhabitants and visitors of the smart community. This will improve the unique experience
of living and visiting a city of the 21st century with all the comfort, enjoyment and security
people can imagine and even beyond of this.
The measurable effects of integrated systems are immediate and notable in five primary
areas:
1. Reduced installation costs
Using IELV for new developments, online documentation and recorded current
and future changes or additions.
2. Increased information access
Including diagnostics and maintenance issues e.g. pro-active maintenance.
3. Information and Integration management
Centralises information at single location and combines information for analysis
and reporting against energy usage, equipment operation and temperatures.
4. Site-wide user interface
Offers single-seat operation, eliminating the costs of duplicated front-end
equipment. This increases operator efficiency by simplifying operator access to
multiple systems, thus reducing operator training costs.
5. Inter-process Integration
How one system effects another creates a smart building. While time schedules
might synchronise lights and cooling, ventilation and other building systems,
security systems allow entry and can be used for triggering superior systems to
turn on HVAC and lights. Furthermore, usage information can be recorded for
tenant billing.
iBMS is an advancement of building automation control system (BACS), building
management systems (BMS) and building security systems (SMS). These components
are no longer stand-alone systems. The integration of all systems into one solution
provides the basis for optimised building operations with reduced operating costs.
In a nutshell, the iBMS solution:
•
•
•
•
Integrates all systems
Monitors and controls building management systems
Improves management capability & building efficiencies
Reduces costs.
An iBMS consists of central control, central communications and remote control systems
to monitor and control the following systems (but not limited to):
•
•
•
Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems.
Smoke detection
Energy and power management
2. •
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Plumbing systems
Building and exterior lighting
Fire alarm and detection
Intrusion detection and security access
Emergency power generator and UPS
Power supply
CCTV
Boiler/ Pool Management System
Audio Visual System
Elevator Monitoring System
Irrigation System.
An iBMS approach eliminates silos of data and ensures that all data can be viewed and
analysed, enabling important building systems to be centralised for monitoring and
control purposes (Figure 1). System integration has the advantage of avoiding wastage
and the unnecessary costs associated with the inappropriate deployment of manpower
and labour resources to identify and resolve operating problems with plant, equipment
and associated building and facilities assets. The implementation of an iBMS can
therefore help decrease the number of building operations personnel required as well as
lessen the chance of human error in identifying and resolving building operational
problems.
The reporting functionality of an iBMS enables both clients and facilities managers to
obtain accurate and continuous data on the actual running costs of such areas as
energy and lighting, and enables pro-active analysis to be carried out to reduce the high
costs of a building’s operation.
3. Figure 1: Intelligent Integrated Building Management Solution iBMS
1.1.2 Command & Control Centre (CCC)
The CCC is the central point of integration for all owned or operated or 3rd party operated
and interconnected facilities (Figure 2). It provides central integration of building systems,
security systems and municipality systems.
4. Figure 2: Command & Control Centre CCC
All systems will be connected to a Control & Command Centre (CCC), which uses
remote access to the systems through a standard interface and provides maintenance
and security services. From the CCC it will be possible to get a complete view of all the
connected buildings, get a summary of data, receive alarms & view all operating
parameters relating to life safety, energy consumption and key parameters which are
vital to maintain the conditions in the building.
The core functions are but not limited to:
• Central interface to the SOC (CAFM system), NOC, SCRs and LCRs
• Central alarm management
• Central monitoring
• iBMS related measures
• Reporting.
5. 1.1.3 Benefits
The benefits of implementing an Integrated System Solution for BMS and Security
Services include:
Overall benefits:
• Integrated technology solutions and support to Facilities Management operations
• Single Source Solution & Responsibility for unified monitoring & control of all
developments
• Build a unified supervision/ control instance of all planned & unscheduled events
– 24/7 basis
• Build a central supervision and control of decentralised (local, peripheral)
buildings and their BMS
• To achieve higher efficiency of employees by repeated use of identical
technology
• To automate workflows, quality assurance, reproducibility
• To automate accounting
• Enable Effective Energy management
• Support Data Centre management
• Achieve Operating Cost savings via improved operating efficiencies, reduced
head count
• Better control & higher service quality
• Meaningful & proactive reporting
• Improved levels of customer satisfaction of hotel guests, tenants and owners
• Capability to provide services and generate additional revenue from other (3rd
party) developments.
• Connectivity of the iBMS for future Premium Class FM Services to be provided.
Operator’s benefits:
• Integrate & optimise operational processes (proactive management & reporting)
• Enable a proper coordination of different service providers/suppliers/maintenance
suppliers
• Monitor and control; not just monitoring facilities systems and services
• Transparency in cost and processes
• Cost optimisation
• Resource optimisation
User’s / Owner’s benefits:
• Reduction in operating expenditure (OPEX)
• Greater control of assets & performance
• Minimising Risks
• Improved service quality
• Reduced system downtime
• Improved reporting and decision making / analysis functionality
• Conservation of building asset value
• Focus on core business.
6. 1.1.4 Savings
Based on a Centralised Command and Control Centre (CCC) for BMS, FM and Security
Services against traditional localised control, an annual saving of 10% of operational
costs can be achieved. This equates to approximate savings of $ 1,85m in Year 1 of
operation rising to $ 46m in Year 10 and $ 74m in Year 20. The 20-year-period
cumulated savings sum up to $ 667m.
The integration of the systems into a CCC will result in substantial reductions in the
number of operator staff required as it will not be necessary to have operators based at
each location. Due to the reduced staff on site, the savings per year in staffing alone
would be around $ 4,414,000. In addition to the saving, there would be significant
improvement in speed and efficiency and this, combined with fast access to data and
trending information, would add up to enormous savings over a 20 year period.
The calculation model is based only for standard iBMS/ Security/ Municipality services.
There are additional enhanced services that could be delivered to various customers
The ramp up of the CCC will be done in 4 steps according the development of GFA
during the 20 years period. The first step of the CCC ramp up will be done. Step 1 has
duration of two years. This period is used for operation as well as for training and to gain
experience with workflow, operational procedures and for optimising daily routines. At
the end of Year 2 the second Step of the CCC ramp up will be done. Step 2 also has
duration of two years. This period is used for optimised operation and to get well attuned
to each other. At the end of Year 4 the third Step of the CCC ramp up will be done. Step
3 has duration of five years. In this period full operation is executed. Control-Room is
fully equipped and staffed. At the end of the 9th Year the final Step of the CCC ramp up
will be done. This final step guarantees expandability for future operations up to 2030.
1.1.5 Logical Integration of Operations and Control Rooms
In terms of a logical integration that enables the different specialised centres to work
together it is strongly recommended to interconnect them over the UPI (Figure 3). Then
data from one centre will be accessible from the other centres and vice versa. The
Organization has the huge opportunity to make these data available to local authorities
and governmental departments for their individual use.
