Current Building Services Infrastructure are not very smart
 Limited intelligence to control HVA, Lighting,
Access and Security
 Basic sensor technologies
 No built in intelligence
 Smart systems are limited and localised to
specific services
 Limited use of occupancy data
 Data from one set of services not used
to make decisions on other services
 Connectivity infrastructure predominantly
wired and expensive
 Limited use of wireless technology
 Reconfiguring use of space is challenging
 Infrastructure hard wired

Smart Connected Sensors. Enabling Additional Building Management Services
 Sensor technology evolving rapidly
 MEMS based
 Multiple Sensing Technologies can increase
granularity
 Fusion of complimentary sensor data
 Sensor based information can be used to
generate self learning algorithms
 IFTT
 Building Management systems ecosystems
allow information exchange between services
will form foundation of Smart Buildings
 API based exchanges

5. 6 February 2015 S3953-P-042 v2.05
Distributed Intelligence & Self Learning Algorithms
 Todays Smart Building Solutions are not too Smart
 Fragmented
 No learning or ability to personalise
 No location based services
 Self learning algorithms for each room/zone
functions (heat, lighting, occupancy) can enable
intelligent building management of services
 Heat maps for Zones
 Overlaying local contextual information
 Integrate with enterprise back-end applications
 Rules based decision algorithms can be developed
to provide intelligent HVAC, lighting and security
services

6. 6 February 2015 S3953-P-042 v2.06
How sensor data can drive multiple additional services
 Connected Sensors can be used to collect and interpret data
that can be exposed to the building management controller
with API’s to deliver additional services
 Zone/Room profiling can be achieved to understand
 Occupancy
 Heat/Light maps and correlated with local weather
conditions
 Personalised preferences
 Event based control of services

7. 6 February 2015 S3953-P-042 v2.07
Indoor Location Technology
 Location Based Technology is
ubiquitous outdoors but GPS does not
work indoors
 Development in low cost, infrastructure
light solutions to provide accurate
indoor location solutions can enable
additional workflow and building
management services by APIs
 Understand location of people/assets in
real-time
 Safety and Evacuation Systems
 Improve security
 Geofence data and login

Wearable ID Badges In Enterprise
 Bluetooth Smart Badges with CCL Location Engine to
pinpoint location
 Contextual and proximity used to exchange information
