Jiri Skopek ECD Energy & EnvironmentREALCOMM - June, 2005

Objectives

• Present the concept of an Intelligent Building Rating tool– Objectives– How it works– Approach – including certification

• Review Green Globes attributes that could be applied to the BIQ tool

• Next steps• Note –the purpose is NOT to discuss

technicalities. (This requires a dedicated forum)

Building Intelligence, Reality and Perception

REALITY•cost savings•functional enhancements

(comfort, security, flexibility, reliability)

•Increased productivity

PERCEPTION• expensive• complex – hard to

implement• a luxury

• not “mainstream”

POSITIVE RETURN ON INVESTMENT

• LACK OF AWARENESS

• FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN

Objectives of the BIQ Tool

Promote building intelligence integration and products by:

BIQ - an online tool

BIQ concept is based on:

• Technology Roadmap for Intelligent Buildings• CABA’s Best Practices Guide for Evaluating

Intelligent Building Technologies IS2002-28• Green Globes Rating Assessment Protocol that

is used for:– Integrated design of new buildings– Improving existing buildings (BOMA Go

Green)– Facility fit-up (Commercial Interiors)– Emergency management of buildings

Why online?

• Interactive• Makes it possible to change inputs at the

click of a mouse• Generates scores and reports effortlessly• Makes it easy to store and compare data

about various properties • Allows for multiple users• Puts product information at your fingertips

How can BIQ promote building intelligence ?

1. Provides a baseline assessment of an existing building

2. Helps to articulate the targets for a high performance building

3. Provides a gap analysis between the baseline building and the high performance version

4. Provides step-by-step guidance on how to get there

Report for Middleton Hall



A building intelligence quotient assessment was conducted for Middleton Hall, located at 1 Middleton Ave., Middleton AB. The building is owned by City of Middleton.

Middleton Hall is a 500,000 sq. ft. commercial building that was built in 2000. It has 13 storeys. The facility is described thus: “commercial offices with commercial concourse”.

The tenant is city employees. There are approximately 900 occupants. The building operates 14 hrs per day, 6 days per week. The building is managed by Joe Brown.

The building intelligence quotient of Middleton Hall was assessed at the pre-design stage in terms of how well it addresses issues related to project management, selection of subsystems, subsystem operation features and performance in stand-alone mode; subsystem operation in a building automation environment, and BAS equipment considerations.

The purpose of this assessment is to provide guidance with respect to client needs, the range of options; technical considerations and investigations, investment analysis and selection of consultants.

Report for Middleton Hall



Middleton Hall achieved an overall rating of 78% at the Pre-design Stage

Commissioning Stage Goals

• Confirm performance

• Start up and test systems and adjust operations

• Provide an effective transition from construction to operation

• Provide a smooth transfer to owner/operator

Commissioning

• Project Management– Documentation– Training and Education

• Sub-system Operation in Default Stand-alone Mode– Performance

• BAS Management Issues

• System Management Issues

Final Assessment Goals

Demonstrate value in terms of:

• Design based on the integrated design process

• Presence of intelligent building subsystems

• Integration of sub-systems

• Failure and emergency operations

• Support and maintenance including preventative maintenance and requests for service

Final Assessment

• Project Management– Documentation– Integrated design– Performance requirements– Commissioning– Operating and Maintenance Budget– Intelligent Building Subsystems Features

• Subsystem Operation in Default Stand-alone Mode– Support and Maintenance

• Subsystem Operation in a Building Automation Environment– BAS Equipment– Cabling– Communications Room– Communication Protocols

Conclusion

BIQ:• A means to raise awareness and dispel fear

of the unknown;– An education tool – A way to engage the client

• A ranking system that demonstrates and markets building intelligence and system integration

Based on an approach of:• Integrated design• Product solutions

Discussion Points

• There is an interest!

• “Fixed assessment” or “Needs-based” assessment?

• How to integrate “product solutions”?

• Technical Committee Review

• Certification?
