CHAPTER 1:

Smart Buildings Definition

By optimizing the structure, system, service and management of buildings according to the needs of users, it can provide users with an efficient, comfortable and convenient humanized building environment.

Intelligent building is the outcome of modern science and technology.

Its technical basis is mainly composed of

Modern building technology,
Modern computer technology,
Modern communication technology and
Modern control technology.

Smart building is a system will form data analysis and apply to building performance evaluation through communication links and aggregation of multiple internal systems.

Smart buildings can be regarded as an ecosystem, a dynamic entity, equipped with many different functions, which can “talk” and depend on each other, share data and respond to various needs.

CHAPTER 2:

Environmental Elements in Smart Building

Buildings are divided into indoor and outdoor parts, which will contain different monitoring elements and have different effects on the intelligent building system.

We will make a brief and intuitive exposition step by step.

Influences of Indoor Elements

Air Temperature

Temperature is a physical quantity representing the degree of heat and cold. It is a very important parameter in building control.

The automatic adjustment of temperature can provide a comfortable living and working environment for people and save a lot of energy for modern buildings.

The most common ones are cold wind in summer and warm wind in winter.

Air Humidity

Now in buildings, according to different places and different working environments, it is necessary to control the air humidity within the corresponding range.

If the humidity is too high or too low, it will make people feel uncomfortable.

If the working environment of constant temperature and humidity is needed in some laboratories, the accurate control of temperature and humidity will directly affect the accuracy of measurement instruments.

Wind

The wind sensor is mainly used to detect the wind speed in the ventilation duct and to calculate the air volume at the same time.

Air volume control is closely related to indoor temperature and humidity value and indoor air pollution, through different indoor conditions, real-time adjustment of air intake and outflow.

Air Quality

In modern buildings, a comfortable and quiet living and working environment is required. In addition to providing a suitable temperature and humidity environment, fresh air should be constantly supplied.

Air quality detection is mainly used to detect the content of CO2, CO, Pm2.5 in the air.

If the indoor CO2 content increases, the fresh air unit will be started to improve the air quality by exchanging with the outdoor fresh air.

The detection of the air quality in the garage mainly detects the concentration of CO2 and CO, at the same time detects the emission of exhaust gas, strengthens the ventilation capacity of the garage, and ensures the air quality in the garage.

Influences of Outdoor Elements

Climate change research usually refers to the climatological sense.

For the outdoor calculation parameters of air conditioning, it pays more attention to the change of heating period of air conditioning than the change of whole year; it pays more attention to the change of high and low extreme temperature than the range of normal temperature, and pays more attention to whether the change is significant.

So that it affects the load calculation rather than the whole year. Change or not.

Outdoor Air Temperature

By monitoring the outdoor temperature to adjust the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor, in order to achieve the effect of green energy saving.

Note: The calculation of outdoor parameters in summer is different from that in winter.

Outdoor Air Humidity

This factor is also adjusted with the indoor humidity value, so as to get the optimal configuration, thereby reducing energy consumption.

Wind

Wind sensors give an alarm when the wind blows: it ensures that outdoor blinds or shades are immediately retracted to protect them from damage.

The anemometer is mounted on the roof or wall of the building and connected to the analysis unit.

Rain

It will be used in interpersonal interface to guide people to carry rain gear and provide real-time traffic guidance information.

UV

Through the outdoor monitoring of ultraviolet information, to provide clothing guidance for people in work and life, so as to prevent ultraviolet damage.

Smart Building is already a trend in our current life. I hope the audience can learn more from other aspects. Including Wikimedia/Patent/Video and so on.

WikiPedia

Smart Building
A building controlled by a BAS is often referred to as an intelligent building,^[3] “smart building“, or (if a residence) a “smart home“. Commercial and industrial buildings have historically relied on robust proven protocols (like BACnet) while proprietary protocols (like X-10) were used in homes. Recent IEEE standards (notably IEEE 802.15.4, IEEE 1901 and IEEE 1905.1, IEEE 802.21, IEEE 802.11ac, IEEE 802.3at) and consortia efforts like nVoy (which verifies IEEE 1905.1 compliance) or QIVICON have provided a standards-based foundation for heterogeneous networking of many devices on many physical networks for diverse purposes, and quality of service and failover guarantees appropriate to support human health and safety. Accordingly, commercial, industrial, military and other institutional users now use systems that differ from home systems mostly in scale. See home automation for more on entry level systems, nVoy, 1905.1, and the major proprietary vendors who implement or resist this trend to standards integration.
BACnet
BACnet is a communications protocol for Building Automation and Control (BAC) networks that leverage the ASHRAE, ANSI, and ISO 16484-5 standard^[1] protocol.
BACnet was designed to allow communication of building automation and control systems for applications such as heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning control (HVAC), lighting control, access control, and fire detection systems and their associated equipment. The BACnet protocol provides mechanisms for computerized building automation devices to exchange information, regardless of the particular building service they perform.
Well Certificate
Launched in October 2014 after six years of research and development, the WELL Building Standard is the premier standard for buildings, interior spaces and communities seeking to implement, validate and measure features that support and advance human health and wellness.
WELL was developed by integrating scientific and medical research and literature on environmental health, behavioral factors, health outcomes and demographic risk factors that affect health with leading practices in building design, construction and management.
The WELL Building Standard underwent a comprehensive expert peer review process, which included three phases – scientific, practitioner and medical review.
WELL Certification and the WELL AP credentialing program are third-party administered through IWBI’s collaboration with Green Business Certification Inc. (GBCI).
RESET™ Standard
The RESET™ Standard is created and administered by GIGA, who aim to improve indoor environments and occupant health on a global scale. RESET combines the development of live monitoring and cloud software to increase the visibility of building health data. RESET simply requires measuring and recording data to enable solutions to be found. It wants to be on the leading edge of technology that is making spaces healthier for occupants and the wider environment. We do not expect clients to have in-depth knowledge of our technology or how to interpret the data, rather RESET provides a guiding hand in this process. RESET is accessible to all of those who are willing to really get to grips with the air quality of their buildings. RESET does not tell clients what they can and cannot do, rather our aim is to inform clients, so they can then make their own decisions.

CHAPTER 6:

Future of Smart Buildings

Although you have read the detailed introduction above, you have a general understanding of the smart buildings. Next, I will make the following guesses about future smart buildings .

Collection and preservation of large-scale building operation data.
Data is the basis of building intelligence. However, at present, even very high-standard, low-cost construction projects lack effective collection and (long-term) preservation of building operation data.
Even if the building automation system is installed in the building, because of the lack of data preservation ability, in general, most of the data collected by sensors will only be saved for a short time.
Efficient management of building operation data.
Although the building is not a precise instrument, it contains a large amount of data because of its large scale.
It is not only a small office building (two floors, 2000 m2), but also has thousands of data points in its building automation system.
More complete network of actuators.
At present, the development trend of intelligent buildings is that more and more sensors are installed in buildings, but the number of actuators is far from enough.
Generally speaking, air conditioning system is the only system that can be controlled automatically in buildings.
Other components closely related to indoor environmental parameters, such as window switches, shutters and so on, are manually controlled.
People-oriented. Nowadays, there is a very popular concept in the intelligent building called “human in the loop” or “occupant-oriented”.
Its specific meaning is that the most important goal of intelligent building is to make everyone’s comfort and health in the building, and the residents should be able to truly control the building environment in which they live.
In the traditional control of commercial buildings, living is basically unable to control anything in the building.
The switching of air conditioning and the setting temperature are all set in advance by the material management personnel.
Because each person’s behavior and preferences for comfort are different and vary with time and other parameters, this simple and crude method will inevitably reduce the comfort of the residents and the energy efficiency of the building system.
