SMART BUILDING

Smart buildings depend on


intelligent building automation
systems to seamlessly
integrate and manage a facilitys
core
systems, such as HVAC and
lighting, among others. But
there is no single set of
capabilities that defines all
smart buildings.
Rather, the smart building
concept is a dynamic process
that enables an organization to
use integration to tap the power
of systems that are in a building
today, while also providing a
path to future improvements.

SMART BUILDING EXAMPLE


A good example of a smart
building in action is the Duke
Energy Center, a LEED Platinum
48-story office tower located in
uptown
Charlotte, N.C. Owned by Wells
Fargo & Co., the Duke Energy
Center was chosen in 2010 as a
grand prize winner of the
inaugural Siemens Smartest
Building in America Challenge.

DUKE ENERGY
CENTER
CHARLOTTE,
N.C.

In the Duke Energy Center, 16 separate building systems, including


three building automation systems, are integrated through one routed
Internet Protocol network.
The 1.5 million-square-foot office building also has a Tier IV data
center.
The complex building automation system was customized to
accommodate multiple protocols (BACnet, OPC, LonWorks,
Modbus and PLC) to allow for efficient system operation and data
collection from diverse building systems.
Integrated systems in the center include lighting controls inside and
outside of the building, light harvesting blinds, seven2.25-megawatt
generators and several uninterruptible power supply systems.
The center also integrates elevator monitoring, video surveillance
from 200 security cameras, emergency
intercom systems, digital signage, parking access and revenue
control (PARC) system even a custom underground water
filtration system. System integration on utility meters extends
down to sub-submeters that can capture energy use from plug
load, HVAC and lighting on a floor-by-floor basis.

The building has achieved LEED Platinum status


by including water-saving plumbing devices, a
water storage system that will treat rainwater
to be used for cooling tower make-up water,
and a green roof. Rock that was blasted for the
parking structure is being recycled by hauling it
to a local quarry, where it will be crushed for
gravel.
The facade of the structure is illuminated by
hundreds of programmable color changing LED
and metal halide luminaires with design work
by Gabler-Youngston Architectural Lighting
Design. The facade lighting system provides
various shows and effects.
