Getting to Intelligence
Empowering every building to embark on the
journey of Intelligence.
The transformation to Intelligence requires
adoption of 3 core pillars – Integration, Data Driven and Responsive.
Responsive
Imagine facilities that dynamically
optimize their energy usage, reducing demand while maintaining occupant
comfort, safety, and productivity.
Key components required to be integrated to
create a responsive building include:
- Network of Sensors: Advanced sensors monitor temperature,
humidity, lighting, and occupancy levels
- Data Transmission Infrastructure: Real-time data transmission
enables swift decision-making.
- Building Management System (BMS): An intelligent BMS optimizes
energy usage, adjusting lighting, cooling, and heating loads.
Data Driven
Best practices in being data driven
includes:
- Adopting Asset Information Model (AIM) or Digital Twin. The role of the Digital Twin is to
function as the piece in the value chain that ties the various digitized
deliverables in the previous sections together.
- Further, leverage on asset ontology – an extensible dictionary
of terms and concepts in and around buildings, a set of relationships for
linking and composing concepts together, and a flexible data model
permitting seamless integration of asset ontology with existing tools and
databases.
Integrated
Recommendation is to have a single
dashboard reduces the need to switch between screens from different systems.
A performance dashboard allows:
- Basic Building Energy Performance Data, Air Conditioning and
Air Distribution Energy Performance Data, Lighting System Energy
Performance, Data Center/Server room Energy Performance Data to be
monitored.
- Operations measures such as energy and water usage efficiencies
and work order status to be monitored.
- Management metrics such as asset health and energy per
user to be accessed.
