On Friday June, 1st. 2012 we held a small seminar on Home and Building Automation Technologies, with a particular focus on peculiarities, issues and idiosyncrasies to account when starting to integrate a new technology in Dog.
After a first introduction on the general concepts of Home and Building Automation, the seminar focuses on 3 main technologies: MyOpen, KNX and Modbus and for each of them provides a short introduction highlighting the relevant features to account when integrating such technologies in Dog. The last part of the seminar analyzes the design and implementation choices driving the integration of such technologies in Dog, with a particular focus on the abstraction process.
The seminar is the first of 2 presentations on the Home and Building Automation topic. The next seminar will be held on Wednesday June 6th, 2012, and will focus on the Dog gateway, by providing a deep architecture analysis and by proposing several development guidelines.
A Building Management System is a computer-based control system that is installed in the buildings in order to control and monitor the mechanical and electrical equipment of the building including lighting, fire systems, ventilation, security systems etc.
Presentation that I created while I was working as embedded systems engineer in Makel Elektrik developing devices for home and building automation. This presentation was used for introducing university students to KNX.
The goal of this discussion is to demystify building performance modeling. Computer-simulations give you a more complete picture of how various context and design factors can affect the performance of your space. Modeling information can help you analyze the impacts of your design decisions and determine how to most effectively meet project goals.
Energy modeling is also valuable tool used for code compliance and LEED points. Not to mention the fancy graphics that models produce to show your clientele your commitment to performance-based design.
This discussion will present various opportunities that can arise from building performance simulations with analysis at the early design, whole building, and building component levels. We will examine the following types of analysis:
• Climate
• Daylighting
• Massing and orientation
• Whole building energy usage forecast
• Fenestration design
• Façade development
• Zone level energy performance
• Baseline and design case models
• System selection and optimization

Mavenir: OpenRAN – What It Is and What It Means for Rural OperatorsMavenir
This presentation highlights OpenRAN, the Capex/Opex savings, and how it’s being deployed in different parts of the world. Originally presented in an educational webinar specifically designed for Rural Operators. Presentation from the "OpenRAN – What It Is and What It Means for Rural Operators" webinar.
Introduction
Business blockchain requirements vary. Some uses require rapid network consensus
systems and short block confirmation times before being added to the chain. For others,
a slower processing time may be acceptable in exchange for lower levels of required
trust. Scalability, confidentiality, compliance, workflow complexity, and even security
requirements differ drastically across industries and uses. Each of these requirements, and
many others, represent a potentially unique optimization point for the technology.
For these reasons, Hyperledger incubates and promotes a range of business blockchain
technologies including distributed ledgers, smart contract engines, client libraries, graphical
interfaces, utility libraries, and sample applications. Hyperledger’s umbrella strategy
encourages the re-use of common building blocks via a modular architectural framework.
This enables rapid innovation of distributed ledger technology (DLT), common functional
modules, and the interfaces between them. The benefits of this modular approach include
extensibility, flexibility, and the ability for any component to be modified independently
without affecting the rest of the system.

Definition
Access
A means of approaching, entering, exiting, communicating with, or making use of: used a browser to access a website; accessed her bank account online.
Authentication
To positively verify the identity of a user, device, or other entity in a computer system, often as a prerequisite to allowing access to resources in a system.
Connection
A communications link between two points:
Established a connection to the Internet.
Customer
One that buys goods or services.
Data
Distinct pieces of digital information. Data is usually formatted in a specific way and can exist in a variety of forms, such as numbers, text, etc. When used in the context of transmission media, data refers to information in binary digital format.
Device
A device is a unit of physical hardware or equipment that provides one or more computing functions within a computer system. It can provide input to the computer, accept output or both. A device can be any electronic element with some computing ability that supports the installation of firmware or third-party software.
DSL
Digital Subscriber Line or Digital Subscriber Loop. Refers to the variety of different types of Digital Subscriber Line protocols – high-speed data transmission protocols that are compatible with regular copper telephone wire. DSL is typically used to provide a continuous, high-speed connection directly to an Internet Service Provider
Email
Electronic mail. A service that sends messages on computers via local or global networks.
Home network
A local area network (LAN) that connects the PCs in a home and lets users access the Internet simultaneously, share drives, share files and printers, and play head-to-head multi-player games.
Internet
A network of networks; a group of networks interconnected via routers. The Internet (with a capital I) is the world's largest internet.
Internet Access
Access to the Internet via a dial-up account via telephone circuit or direct connection.
Internet Protocol
(IP). The IP part of TCP/IP; the protocol used to route a data packet from its source to its destination over the Internet.
IP Address
The unique 32 bit number assigned to each computer connected to the Internet and used by the TCP/IP protocol to route packets of data to their destinations. The number is usually written in shorthand "dotted octet" notation in which the 32 bit address is grouped into four sets of 8 bits. Each of those eight-bit sets is converted into a decimal number, and the four resulting decimal numbers are written separated by dots. Most Internet addresses consist of a network portion and a node portion. The address for a host must be unique on the network. When you connect to a web server, for example, you may tell your browser to connect to www.mysite.com, but your computer ultimately has to translate the name to its IP .

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.

3. 3Guide to Open Protocols in Building Automation
Overview
Building automation systems are a combination of many different devices
and equipment, all communicating over a local or larger network.
These systems communicate with a wide variety of devices, from life-space positioned sensors and
lights to technical-space located equipment such as chillers, boilers, air handlers and electrical
panels. Regardless of the originating protocol from local controllers on different floors or zones, data
may be forwarded to the cloud using another protocol via gateways. Monitoring dashboards in the
local Facility Manager (FM) office or at corporate headquarters can see real-time visualizations of
energy performance and issues.
To enable all this communication, many different protocols have been developed over the years.
Protocols are the accepted rules and standards that allow communication and data-sharing
between building automation equipment. Devices and systems that conform to a given protocol can
communicate easily with each other, but not necessarily with other protocols.
Why does this matter? Because manufacturers that produce building automation equipment must
choose which protocol(s) their product will conform to, which means that users of this equipment are
choosing not just the product, but the protocol that goes with it.
This Guide is designed to help you navigate, at a high level, the choices in building automation open
protocols. First we examine some of the key issues involved in selecting which protocol(s) to choose,
then we review each major protocol—why it was developed, who uses it, pros and cons, and any
relevant application-specific or regional-specific information.
Why open protocols?
Some protocols are proprietary, but most today are open. That means their characteristics are
published and may be used by anyone freely or by license. Open protocols usually have the backing
of some combination of corporations, user groups, professional societies, and governments. Some
protocols are regional and others global, and each has its own set of specializations and capabilities
that make it preferable in certain applications.
Unlike proprietary protocols, which are owned and protected by a company, open protocols are
supported by the products and services of many different companies and organizations. This
provides users with a much wider choice of devices or systems that can be employed to meet
specific applications or needs.
Each protocol maintains standards and certifications through its own independent organization (such
as bacnet.org and lonmark.org). Guidelines are updated as technology and needs evolve.
Advantages of open protocols include:
> Supported by multiple manufacturers, software vendors, and install/service organizations
> Widely available third-party software for user interface, trend reports, alarming, and other
applications (much like apps for smart phones)
> Easier communication with subsystems such as lighting and chiller controllers
> Active community groups for support, freeware, and leverage with vendors
> Ability to stay current and add capabilities in the future
…companies that use
open protocols tend to
have a different overall
business relationship
with their users, a less
“possessive” attitude;
they earn future business
by meeting customer
needs, not by trapping
customers with proprietary
products.*

documents/controls_procurement_
guidelines.pdf
4. 4 Guide to Open Protocols in Building Automation
Some protocols are more open than others. While all open protocols can be utilized by multiple
manufactures, the technology may be fully controlled by a single vendor or restricted group of
vendors. The use of the technology may require a license fee to be paid. A standard which is openly
developed and may be implemented without licensing controls is considered to be fully open.
Wired vs Wireless
One essential choice is whether you will use wired or wireless communications, or a combination of
both. The most common wireless options utilize a wireless-specific protocol (see pages 17-18). Most
control devices—such as room controllers, occupancy sensors, ventilation fan controls, and door
sensors—are available with either wired or wireless communications.
Note that we are referring here to communications. Device power is handled independently from
device communications. Devices will require electrical wiring to connect to the building’s power
system (although some products with low energy requirements now use batteries or energy-
harvesting technology for power generation).
Advantages of wireless communications include:
> Ease and low cost of installation (especially for existing buildings)
> Scalability through easy addition of devices
> Compatibility usually available via gateway with wired protocols such as BACnet®
, LonWorks®
,
and Modbus®
> Large facilities and campuses where it’s not practical to run wiring between buildings and zones
Advantages of wired communications include:
> New construction where running wires is not a significant extra expense
> Where high-energy equipment could interfere with wireless
> Where performance and reliability is critical
Not an either-or decision
While there are many protocols in the building automation market, these approaches often co-exist
within a single facility. Open protocols can usually communicate with each other, because gateways
and APIs have been developed by the various user groups and vendors. Such integration is not as
simple as using products within the same protocol, but the benefits may be worth considering.
Each protocol has its own advantages and adherents, and mixing protocols may be the most
effective way to optimize a building system to particular needs and budgets. Your facilities experts or
consulting partners can help you understand what approaches will work best for your requirements,
goals and budgets.
A note about terminology
In network communications, the term “protocols” includes many specifications that cover
both the applications (functions and data content), and the transport of information (how
data is moved from one device to another).
Each building automation protocol includes both application and transport standards, and
they can often be mixed. For example, the BACnet application protocol can transport data
using its own standard, but it can also transport data via other transport standards including
ZigBee®
and LonWorks.
Unless otherwise noted, this guide focuses on the application side of the protocols.

Considerations
Here are some guidelines to help decision makers find and implement a building automation
solution that is right for them:
> > Define needs and goals. As always with technology, evaluate choices in the context of clearly
stated business goals and budgets.
> > Look for choices. It helps to work with providers that offer a wide range of product and
technology choices. This will improve the chances of finding an optimal solution for each facility.
> > Choose distributed intelligence. If possible, choose products that have built-in intelligence.
Distributed intelligence improves network performance and reliability, and eliminates bottlenecks
that can result from a single point of control.
> > Adapt to the region. Be prepared to deal with different standards and requirements,
depending on the region. Regional considerations are included for each protocol in this guide.

OPC
OPC is a global software interface that enables the exchange of data among devices, control
systems and applications from different vendors. It was originally developed in 1996 for machine-
to-machine communication in industrial settings, and was limited to Windows®
platforms. In 2008 a
newer and more open standard of the protocol, OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA), was introduced
and has been adopted in other applications including building automation.
OPC UA is notable for its cross-platform service-oriented architecture, enabling interoperability
across many types of equipment, systems, and databases. It can be thought of as a universal
translator for linking disparate systems. It works with virtually every control system on the market, and
can communicate with major building automation protocols such as Modbus, BACnet, and LonWorks.
OPC specifications include transmission of real-time events and alarms, and interfacing of real-time
data to various types of devices.
The protocol is administered by the OPC Foundation, an independent group of more than 450
manufacturers, suppliers, and integrators. The OPC Foundation oversees compliance and offers
developer tools and test kits for members.
Applications
OPC UA is used in building automation to provide connectivity between different protocols. It enables
different systems such as security, lighting, elevator, and HVAC to be networked using a single
connectivity standard.

Web Services
Web Services are a standardized way of enabling different applications and IT systems to interact
via the Internet. Web Services are actually a collection of protocols that work together to support
activities such as opening files, accessing and exchanging data, and uploading and downloading
information across platforms.
In building automation, Web Services are often used to integrate building systems that have various
protocols in use. For example, an enterprise with a mixture of BACnet- and LonWorks-based facilities
could use a Web Services application to integrate the information from both networks and provide
unified reporting and analysis.
The W3C Web Services Architecture Working Group defines and maintains the standard for Web
Services Architecture. It should be noted that some protocols have issued their own Web Services
standards. In October 2004, the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning
Engineers, Inc. (ASHRAE) released an addendum to standard 130-2004, called BACnet/WS to cover
Web Services.
Applications
Web Services are used in building automation to integrate reporting across facilities, and provide
a bridge between legacy and new systems. It can also be used locally within a single building, for
example to link a Modbus sensor network with the facility manager’s control portal.
