●What was a buzz● ‘Energy’

● ‘Environmental sustainability’

●Is now reality


Glass half-full approach

●Enormous savings potential through:● Cost efficient energy (Punitive tariffs)

● Sustainability (Tax benefits)

●The EU has emerged at the forefront of green building legislation● Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), since 2003

● Mandatory for all Member States

“Global energy consumption is expected to grow 45 percent from 2002 to 2025”Source: World Business Council for Sustainable Development


Objectives of EPBD

●Establish a methodology for calculating energy performance of a building

●Apply minimum standards to new buildings and major refurbishments

●Building certification to make energy consumption visible for:● Owners, tenants and users

●Inspection of boilers and air-conditioning to reduce● Energy Consumption

● Greenhouse gas emissions


The energy dilemma is here to stay

vsEnergy demand by 2050

Electrical energy demand by 2030

CO2 emissions to avoid dramatic climate changes

The facts The need

Energy management is the key to address the dilemma

Tenant Demands

●Occupational health and safety● Sick building syndrome (SBS) since 1984

●Prevalent in 30% of new and remodelled office buildings

●10-30% of occupants affected

●Relationship between● Indoor air quality or thermal comfort; and

● Employee motivation and productivity

●Knock-on affect to the employer’s operations

●Residential and commercial tenants seeking a more proactive role in controlling their facilities

● Visibility, functionality and flexibility

Tightening Margins through

rising costs


Tighter Margins

●Total life cycle cost● 10% attributed to construction

● 60-80% incurred from ongoing maintenance, energy, etc

●Energy costs are typically 30% of ongoing operating costs

Medium term Demand-Supply gap

●Cost of construction

●Uncertainty over climate change policy, i.e. carbon emissions

●Slow uptake of renewable energy

●Long lead time for new generation to come on-stream● Coal-fired and nuclear

Electricity prices will remain high

Tightening Margins through

rising costs


If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it

●Facilities viewed as sunk cost

●Replace ageing equipment as and when a failure occurs● Minimizing immediate costs

● Keeping within short-term maintenance and repair budget

●This approach results in:● Parameter overrides to fix problems

● Insufficient planning for change in occupancy patterns

The Facility drifts out of control


Disparate Brands

●Investment made at various points in time● HVAC

● Lighting

● Security

● Access Control

●Across various parts of a site or across multiple sites

The Result●Disparate support / service arrangements●Locked into specific hardware platforms and service providers●Increased personnel training and service costs


Disparate Brands


Requirements

Integrated Monitoring and Control

●Centralised monitoring and control

●Open communications

●Flexible architecture

●Connectivity to any vendor and product of choice


Integrated Monitoring and Control


Why Integrate?

●Reduce operating costs●Improve margins●Increase visibility, control and standardisation●Connect to open protocols

● OPC

● BACnet

● LONWorks

● EIB

● Modbus

●Single or multi-site integration●Retain original investments and future-proof the system


The Ideal Solution

●Continues to operate, while online changes are made● Full redundancy

●Centralised and localisable

●Select a partner with the necessary expertise and support

●Clearly define standards


Multiple silo systems Integrated Solution

Conclusion

●Helps towards● energy efficiency

● environmental sustainability

● tenant comfort

●Challenges ● facility managers to improve performance

● tenants to be more responsible in energy use

A unified view of operations increases transparency
