Development of Building Automation solutions in the world

Allikas: http://www.ebasee.com/en/solution_list.aspx?parentId=11

1. Concept of automation:Sensor – Brain/Controller – Actuator, feedback loop

2. Automation linked to: persons – appliances - buildings – citys

3. Benefits from automation:1. Reduction of energy

consumption/spending ca 10-30%

2. Increased comfort3. Increased security4. Inreased value of property

3

Technological basis of Smart BuildingsThe main challenge – how to unite all systems under one umbrella integrating all sensors and actuators using different standards and softwares?

The main challenges and opportunities in Intelligent/Smart BuildingsArea Challenge Opportunity

Auto-mation

Market of automation solutions is not transparent and develops quickly

Center tests different solutions and producers/users get feedback about real results of application of the solutions

Auto-mation

Estonian wooden house exporters hold top ranking in Europe by sales volume, but have not yet included smart solutions into their offering

Development of the building automation offering in the form of Basic solution, Advanced solution and Tailor made solution pack for wooden house producers

Auto-mation

Knowledge about application possibilities of Building Automation solutions is not yet clear

Competence Center develops comprehensive training program covering various aspects of building automation like how to unite interior design and modern switches etc.

BIM Popularity of Building Information Modeling (BIM) is growing, but information exchange between architect, builder and maintenance organisations is still in early phase

Center has initiated a project to develop better information exchange between building process and maintenance

Health Automated building induces several magnetic fields and radio waves, which might have influence on users health

Ideas are in development phase to start to measure health implications of automation solutions in cooperation with one Norwegian clinic

Health Automation solutions for elderly care are used mostly in form of emergency buttons

Center has done research of emergency buttons and prepares the next project to develop cost efficient solutions for elderly

Focus areas of Rakvere Smart Buildings Competence Center

Smart Buildings competence does not include building process as such, construction physics, building or demolition technologies, production of building materials or their physical properties

Before building:Smart planning of

building using Building Information Modeling

(BIM)

After building:Integrated facilities

management based on Building Information

Modeling (BIM)

In buildings: Smartly planned and integrally managed buildings with home/office appliances

meeting ordinary and elderly users requirements in environmentally friendly way

Applications of Smart City solutions for users and for managementof buildings incl IoT

Description of the test environment

1. Laboratory of management of the whole nearly-zero-energy-building including solar panels, energy wells, heating and cooling system

2. Laboratory of software and system integration3. Double facade test system including triple system of

curtains - outside, between facade and inside4. Smart flat equipped with separate automation

system independent from other parts of the building5. Test area of solutions for elderly care6. Test area of health implications of building systems7. Test system of technical solutions for historical

heritage building8. Test system of stormwater collection and utilisation

in the building9. Demonstration room for automation solutions
