Buildings represent 39% of U.S.

primary Energy Use

Building Energy Consumption

represents 30% of a typical

commercial Office Building’s

Operating Costs

A 30% Reduction in Building

Energy Use can yield the

Equivalent of a 5% Increase in

Building Net Operating Income

One of the strongest Selling

Points for Green Buildings is the

reduced Operating Costs from

increased Energy Efficiency

Building Control Transformation – Benefits of System Integration


Value of intelligent Building Control Network

Control systems are more than a collection of subsystems that interact to sense, monitor, or

control. Integrating various subsystem components reduces energy demand, increases

responsiveness, and reduces overall system cost as well as complexity. Stand-alone,

single-source, locked-in system designs are out, multi-vendor, fully integrated, fair-bid

contracts of open systems are in. Most sought-after benefits are (1) open procurement, (2)

flexibility, (3) future-proofing, (4) sustainable design.

Building Control Transformation – Building Control Network Configuration Modeling

Building Control Network Configuration Modeling

Challenges

Rich building control

network configurations

with up to 70+ application

classes and 32,000 device

instances per building

control network

Deep inheritance

hierarchies, complex

relationships between

network elements and high

performance requirements

to store and retrieve

persistent network size of

several hundred MBytes

Solution

Deployment of an embedded

object-oriented database

compatible with the object-

oriented building control

network configuration model

found in control networks

Results

Building control network

configuration model

stored, retrieved and

managed in embedded,

object-oriented database

Object-oriented data

management offers

developers

• more productivity

• high performance at

runtime

• Economy of low

database maintenance

• Security

• Operational integrity

• Flexibility

Building Control Transformation – Building Control Network Configuration Modeling – A Comparison


Before

Building control

network modeling with

procedural code and

embedded record

oriented relational data

storage toolkit.

Change

Introduction of object-

oriented programming to

model building control

network configuration.

After

Deploying the object-

oriented DB resulted in:

• 6 months advantage

in time-to-market

• several years of saved

developer time

• Enablement of

implementing more

powerful modeling

features

• Significant increase in

productivity to

maintain and enhance

the code base

Building Control Transformation – Object-Oriented Building Control Network Configuration Model – Development, Enhancement, Admin


Agile Development

1. C, Java, C++

software

development kits

2. Integrated object

lifecycle

management

3. Multi-tier

(embedded,

client/server, app

server, cloud)

4. On the fly schema

versioning

Enhancement

In the event of a major

release with new

features, capabilities and

a new database schema,

the built-in tools of the

database automatically

migrate the installed

customer database, with

no database or

programming expertise

required by the customer

or service partner.

Administration

1. Object-oriented

database is

embedded for

seamless

deployment.

2. It requires no

database tools or

administration.

3. It has an automatic

schema modification

and data migration

capability which

makes it easy to

enhance/evolve the

control network.
