The IP revolution and connected buildings The internet protocol (IP) enabled the world wide web
(www)
We are at the start of the application of IP technologies tothe built environment connected buildings
Potential for environmental benefits, extending economicand societal impacts
The communications revolution will impact on our homes the era of smart homes
But it will not happen unless the infrastructure is in place

What is a smart building?
All smart building solutions, including smart homes, have
three components:
Infrastructure
The communications media
Sensors & Actuators
Transmission and implementation of information in end usersphysical, social and economic environments
Applications
Making the communications loop interactive

Infrastructure -The Communications Medium
Cable, often Cat 5e
Wireless Powerline?
The infrastructure enables the transmission of information:
Data
Voice
Video streaming
Video conferencing PA (intercom)
Video monitoring
Building controls
RFID

Sensors & Actuators Detection and transmission of environmental
information, for example
Smart meters Power
Water
Occupancy Security
Fire
Intrusion detection
Health Telecare
Telehealth
Environmental Temperature
Lighting
Humidity
Flood detection

Applications closing the communications loop
Digital Communications allow user interaction through
applications some examples
Interface with end user, typically a screen device
Remote programming
Entertainment
Security monitoring
Integrated fire systems
Scene setting lighting
Remote working

The technology is a means to an end
The technology is the medium, but not the content
Commercial market activity has driven the installation ofmuch infrastructure
Home entertainment & communications Internet access
Home security to some extent
Likely that commercial activity will continue to drivebandwidth requirements, eg video-on-demand

Environmental, Economic & Societal
applications
Environmental - Monitoring &management functionality
Energy
C.27% of all primary energy use indomestic dwellings
Smart meter technology two waycommunications with power utilities
Accompanying visual display of real timeenergy data and cost
Government aspiration - smart metersbe rolled-out over UK in 10-years,including dwellings
Potential for contribution to Code forSustainable Homes
Prospective platform for delivery of IPconsumer services

Environmental Monitoring & Management Ctd
Water use
Emerging crises in water resource use inthe UK
Supply stable or declining demandoutstripping supply
Smart water meter technology might
facilitate more efficient use
Security & access control
Integrated door lock systems with video
monitoring valuable for use with elderly Biometric entry control
Intrusion detection
Remote alarms, eg mobile phones

Public Services Healthcare
The number of people >60 yrs will
reach or exceed 20m of UKpopulation between 2020-30
Plus those requiring support forindependent lifestyle
Traditional method of using deliverythrough acute hospitals
unsustainable Potential to use IP based
communication technologies tosupport remote healthcare delivery:
Telecare lifestyle support, egfall monitors
Telehealth monitoring vitalsigns, eg remote cardiacmonitoring
Could support policy shift tohealthcare in the community

Education
IP comms schools have potential to make education accessible 24/7
Also creating educational opportunities for all, eg SEN

Community Services
Local Government services
Social services
Local community intranet
The potential for wired-up-communities

Wired-up-Communities
Wired-up-communities foster community spirit supporting
social inclusion
People within communities can communicate, access local
intranet services, and external services via the internet
The challenge is to provide such digital communities thatare commercially sustaining

Distributed Work Place
The use of IP communications can support remote
working
Including in the home setting
Creating economic opportunities
Also, significant incidental benefits; eg reduced carbonemissions from transport

Realising the benefits of smart home solutions
Presently most homes with Broadband have single point
access and some wireless provision
Realising the full benefits of connected homes will require
capability to receive and transmit digital signals throughoutthe home
Eg: Cat5e cable loom throughout house, 2xtwin RJ45
sockets per room

Alternative smart home communications media
Wireless provides convenient connectivity, but will not
currently satisfy all bandwidth requirements, eg video-on-demand
Other concerns: More expensive, and still requires cable Not as secure as cable media
Commissioning of wireless systems can be more difficult
Potential for interference between adjacent wireless routers

Alternative comms media/ ctd .
Powerline transmission of IP signals through existing
mains cabling
Ideal for retrofit situations but technically challenging
Several peaks of activity in past 10-years; indications thatcurrent round of development may have cracked problems

The Real Challenge:
Establishing digital comms in the supply chain
There are problems; here are a few
Lack of recognition: Recent, 130 page White Paper on sustainablehomes initially included no mention of connectivity and its benefits
First cost focus: Developers still reluctant to take on issue of connectivity
Lack of standards: Potential for market fragmentation because of poorinteroperability standards

Practicalities
New build The lesser problem; at the cost of installing a comms loom this should be the de facto
choice making digital comms the 5th utility
Service provision is a distinct issue, but without the infrastructure this is not an optionat all
Retrofit This is more challenging, costly and disruptive but is 97% of the problem!
Interoperability DAP Forum setting the context for effective roll-out, including interoperability
TAHIs Interoperability initiative deriving the technical standard for interoperability

Bringing down the barriers BREs Innovation Park Seven new build projects - showcasing real installations
Buildings are real construction projects place all thedemands of full scale projects
Insight into practicalities of assimilating innovative
methods into the supply chain particularly smart buildingsolutions
Raising profile 20,000 visitors since June 05
Also need for education and training

In Summary The era of connected buildings is here
Potential to progress environmental, societal and
economic issues to the benefit of all But there are significant issues to be addressed:
The need for interoperability standards: DAP Forum and TAHIsInteroperability initiative
Getting the infrastructure in place: getting connectivity into main streamprocurement
Showcasing the technologies, services and content: BREs InnovationPark new build and refurbishment
Need for training and education
BRE welcomes the opportunity of working with industry tosupport effective roll-out of smart home solutions
