This document outlines a presentation about building automation and intelligent building control. It discusses ABB solutions for building automation, including applications for lighting control, HVAC, security, and energy management. It also covers topics like demand response, a solar house case study called surPLUShome, and the role of building automation in improving energy efficiency.
Buildings contribute to 40 percent of global energy consumption, and are expected to do so even more in the coming future. This consumption directly influences the use of fossil fuels that have significant environmental impacts. Although renewable energy sources have shown tremendous promise, it is anticipated that most of the global energy generation will still use fossil fuels. Therefore the need for energy efficiency in buildings is critical, and the main objective of a 'smart building' is to reduce and manage building energy consumption without compromising occupant comfort and operational efficiency. Within buildings, Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems contribute to significant energy consumption. The other share is consumed by lighting and plug loads. Smart buildings employ different types of sensors in HVAC and other mechanical systems which makes these systems more intelligent and adaptive. Data from sensors and associated controllers are now being used for building energy analytics and the technological advancements made in this field is very promising.

More Electric:
Our world is becoming More Electric. Almost everything we interact with today is either already electric or becoming electric. Think about it. From the time you start your day in the morning to the time you finish your day – your home, your car, your work, your devices, your entertainment – almost everything is electric. Imagine the energy needed to power this. Electricity consumption will increase by 80% in next 25 years
More Connected: Our lives are also becoming more connected. The Internet has already transformed the way we live, work and play. Now the Connected Things is going to take this to a brand new level. 50 billion things connected in the next 5 years.
More Distributed: With such a widespread electrification and connectivity, energy models need rethinking as well. Which is why the generation of power needs to be closer to users. Distributed Energy is rapidly evolving globally. This is positive energy – renewable. In 2014 , Renewables overtook fossil fuels in investment value, with $295bn invested in renewables compared to $289bn invested in fossil fuels. And it is getting cheaper to do this.
More Efficient: When our world is more electric, more connected and more distributed, new opportunities emerge and allows us to tap into even more efficiency – in industrial processes, in the energy value chain, in buildings, in transportation, in the global supply chain and even in the comfort and peace-of-mind of our homes.
Small- to mid-size buildings all over the world face a number of challenges to achieve their energy efficiency goals. Benefits of systems that solve these issues include simplified automation, open systems, and are easily and economically retrofit. The benefits are lower installation costs, 15-30% energy savings, and improved comfort for an overall return on investment.

Of we er nu werken of leven, we willen ons prettig en comfortabel in een ruimte voelen. In bedrijfspanden spelen flexibiliteit en rendabiliteit bovendien een uiterst belangrijke rol. Hoe flexibeler de gebouwentechniek op nieuwe eisen kan reageren en zich aan nieuwe technische ontwikkelingen kan aanpassen, des te eerder zal deze techniek renderen. Bovendien is met het oog op het toenemende milieubewustzijn en de stijgende energiekosten een gebouwmanagement vereist dat intelligente oplossingen voor efficiënt energieverbruik biedt.
IFMA gaat op deze debatnamiddag tijdens de Realty beurs op T&T dieper in op dit thema en de impact van deze evolutie op de activiteiten van de Facility Manager en Real Estate professional.

A loft conversion is one of the most popular ways of home improvement in the UK. It is a process of transforming an empty attic or a loft space into a functional room e.g. bedroom, study or a gym. High End Builders, a London-based building company, prepared a brief comparison of pros and cons of having a loft conversion.
Households are happy to join together and provide power flexibility for clima...Leonardo ENERGY
Residential and small commercial electricity consumers will provide most of the flexibility needed in the power system to achieve the energy transition at lower cost. This flexibility will allow the electricity grid to take on more renewables and need less grid reinforcements. Consumers are happy to participate (>75% opt-in rate) via an aggregator and be rewarded with energy savings reducing their electricity. Because it reduces the overall costs of running the energy system, it means that all consumers benefit from lower energy prices. The business case is now proven as more and more countries worldwide ensure demand side response can participate in wholesale markets as an alternative to generation and the EU has provided support through its recent Clean Energy Package. Pierre Bivas from Voltalis will share his experience of operating flexibility from more than 100,000 households in France, and now installing another 150,000, backed by the European Investment Bank, while also developing in other countries with local partners.

We gives you access to control devices in your home from a mobile device anywhere in the world. The home automation more accurately describes homes in which nearly everything like lights, appliances, electrical outlets are hooked up to a remotely controllable network. From a home security perspective, this also includes your alarm system, and all of the doors, windows, locks, smoke detectors, surveillance cameras and any other sensors that are linked to it.

It is well known that the replacement of traditional lamps by low energy lamps is saving significant energy and there introduction is even mandatory in some countries. The better heat management by isolating walls and windows is another effective way of saving energy.
But on top of that control systems to manage the use of electrical energy for lighting or blinds or climate control offers a large additional potential of efficient consumption of electrical energy.
Today consumption and generation are mostly decoupled. Utilities make estimates on the future demand based on historical data and experience, which works reasonably well. More intermittent power generation in the energy mix will bring new challenges.
Consumers just use the electrical energy without knowing about issues like peak demand and reserve capacity.
If consumption patterns could be available to the utilities closer to the actual need and if challenges in supply could be communicated to the consumers a common effort to efficient energy use could help to save energy and reduce CO2 emissions.
One way of facilitating this dialog is the tariff for electricity which needs to be different for peak and off-peak consumption. So the consumer can get a response to his demand of electricity and can decide in real time whether he wants to consume for the actual price per kWh or whether he can wait with his consumption.
Demand response is the name of the game.
When the tariff for electrical energy is the main instrument for demand response a real time market is required at which supply and demand can meet to fix the prices.
Platforms are required to enable this market and new functions beyond the traditional utility-consumer interaction will develop.
It is quite obvious that a consumer will not be able to directly react in real time to demand responses but a high degree of automation is necessary to make this system effective.
The traditional grid was designed to use centralized power generation, resulting in power flowing in one direction. Due to the lack of proliferation of large scale storage and in order to preserve stability the system has to be operated in such a fashion that generation follows load. This operating paradigm I heavily dependent on historical experience. The interconnection of new producers is time consuming and slightly anti-competitive. BUT FOR THE MOST PART THE SYSTEM BEHAVED IN A PREDICATBLE FASHION
What we are noticing now is that the market is asking for both centralized and distributed power generation; in addition in order to be kind to the environment we the market wants a lot of renewable energy sources, which for some of these are intermittent presenting us with an operational challenge. Due to the emergence and market pull for of small-scale distributed energy resources we have a situation where a traditional consumer can also now become a producer at select periods. This paradigm shift leads to multi-directional flows on the grid making it difficult to protect and control the power system and its elements using our old paradigm. Also technology means are emerging where load can be partially adapted to match the production.
In short operation of this evolved grid will be predominantly based on real-time data, in order to better manage the random behavior found in this grid.
Smart Grid with demand response requires buildings that are much smarter than
existing buildings
buildings (smart-homes) will be able to produce energy (renewables)
buildings (smart-homes) will share information about power consumption,
(future) power demand and energy production with the smart-grid
buildings (smart-homes) will react and interact with smart grids
via flexible demand tariffs
buildings (smart-homes) will be able to safe energy costs and reducing CO2 by
using new flexible tariffs
buildings (smart-homes) will be able to switch on/off and or delay energy consumption in the building
buildings (smart-homes) will be able to give the user a clear indication and transparency of current and future energy consumption and tariffs

In this type of system, the short-circuit current value on the direct current side is almost always limited, so overcurrent protections are not required. The disconnect and operating devices on the direct current side must be class DC21 according to the classification of standard IEC EN 60947-3. Under current law, up to 20 kWp galvanic separation is not compulsory between the direct current side and the grid. In the case of inverters without a low frequency transformer, and in any case when the inverter is not for construction intended to block direct current earth faults in the electrical system, the protection against indirect contacts on the alternating current side must be achieved using class B circuit breakers.
Depending on the designer’s choices, these plants can be built using a single central inverter or plant power can be divided over multiple inverters. Protection against overcurrents becomes compulsory when the cable capacity is below 1.25 the short circuit current is calculated as (n-1) x Isc where:
Isc is the short-circuit current of the individual string
- n is the number of strings in parallel on the direct current side. In fact, in the event of a short-circuit, the fault is powered by all of the strings that operate correctly. Under current regulations for plants with rated output greater than 20 kWp, electrical separation is required between the direct current side and the grid. For systems connected to the grid on medium voltage, this separation is provided by a LV/MV transformer.
Optimized standard modules for each stage of the plant process and a complete capability in design, engineering, erection, installation and commissioning - this is what differentiates ABB’s solution from the alternatives. The benefits are proven - maximum power produced at each moment of the day, fewer power losses at each stage of the process, and higher revenues. Each ABB module and the ABB products it contains are engineered for the requirements of PV solar applications. These compact, pre-tested 1 MW units are easy to install, easy to integrate and highly scalable. As a result, delivery and project completion times are reduced.
