Smart buildings integrate building automation systems to seamlessly manage core systems like HVAC and lighting. The Duke Energy Center is an example of a smart building - it integrates 16 systems like lighting, generators, security cameras through one network. This allows efficient operation and data collection. The building achieved LEED Platinum status for sustainability features like water recycling and a green roof.

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.
