TIDEL PARK

Located in Taramani, the gateway to the cyber-corridor inTamil Nadu, Tidel Parkis the largest technology park of its

kind in Asia. Built with the objective of providing a 'plug-and-

play' facility to IT firms, it is spread over 1.2 million squarefeet.

It represents an architecturally modern, Intelligent BuildingComplex, designed by Architects C. R. Narayana Rao. The

building management system has been designed, implemented and commissioned by RACEIndia.

According to R. Suresh of RACE India, buildings are no longer simply "working environments".They are integral to business operations. Competitiveness depends on building performance.

Building Automation System, with a high-level of system integration, has been executed atTidel Park. The Integrated Building Management System, at Tidel, ensures comfort and safety

for the tenants, by controlling and managing the air-conditioners, lifts, access control systems

and all plant and machinery installed. The Tidel Park building has all the attributes of a smartbuilding namely:

y Energy Management Systems - Airconditioning, ventilation, smoke exhaust systems, heatrecovery units and chillers with Thermal Energy Storage tanks and water managementsystems.

y Life Safety Measures - Fire detection, access control, Closed Circuit TelevisionCameras(CCTV).

yTelecommunication Systems and Office Automation Systems - UPS, EPABX, PublicAddress system and channelled music system.

The IBMS control room is the nerve centre of the wholebuilding. It houses 10 workstations including an NT server, a

100 mb ethernet link and 12 CCTV monitors. The nervecentre is fed with power from a 60 Kva UPS from the IBMS

network room. The network room also houses the EPABX,Public Address System racks and the distribution panels for

the UPS. All the IBMS controllers and sensors are supportedon the central UPS by a network of 4 bus ducts. The UPS also

feeds the fire alarm and access system.

The EPABX system handles more than 200 lines and is integrated with the fire alarm and voicepaging on the Public Address System. Voice paging and alarm messaging are features integrated

with the fire alarm and building maintenance system

The Integrated Building Management System at Tidel saves real money by :

This paper discusses about design of Intelligent Building- a concept recently developed for making

building cost and energy efficient. The paper discusses various aspects of Intelligent Building design,

selection of equipment for energy saving, IBMS, various controls/services under IBMS, energy

management through IBMS, security, access controls, cost saving for an intelligent building.

Introduction

Engineers, architects and interior designers often use the phrase "intelligent building" to mean anoffice building with telecommunications that allow rapid reconfiguration of the interior layout fora client. When engineers say a building is intelligent, they often mean that computer programs coordinatemany building subsystems to regulate the interior temperatures HVAC and providing power. The goal is

usually to reduce the operating cost of the building while maintaining the desired environment for the

occupants. Commercial-off-the-shelf Building Automation Systems (BAS) are available. A basic BASsaves energy by widening temperature ranges and reducing lighting in unoccupied spaces. A BAS alsoreduces costs for electricity by shedding loads when electricity is higher-priced. Often, a building can be

designed so that air-conditioning and refrigeration can be deferred.

Definition of Intelligent Building

An Intelligent Building is one which provides an efficient and cost-effective environment through

optimization of its four basic elements:

(1) Structure to house various infrastructure/services.(2) Systems(3)

Services and management of Services(4) An effective interrelationship between all of them

Different aspects of Intelligent Building

The Intelligent Building Design has eight different aspects. Every aspect is important for the making a

building efficient. The following are the aspects:

Energy efficient Building services with proper selection of equipment

Intelligent Building technology and design

Energy efficient Building services with proper equipment:

This plays the most vital role. The services include HVAC, Steam, Lighting, Security, Fire,

Elevators, Treatment plant, Fuel Oil system etc.

(1) Selection of energy efficient equipments are of prime consideration with superior and latesttechnology

(2) Integrated building management system (IBMS) plays a very vital role to integrate and utilizeeffectively all these services

IBMS the heart of Intelligent building

IBMS includes computer based monitoring to co-ordinate, organize and optimize variousbuilding control sub-system like HVAC, Steam, Treatment plant, Lighting, Security, Fire,

Elevators, Compressed Air, Fuel oil system etc.

Function of IBMS:

y Integration of all services

Cost

It ranges from 50 USD to 300 USD per point (with a very general estimation) depending on the mix of

included points.

This includes real points only and not virtual points that is included in most systems.

COSTSAVING due to Intelligence of building :

y Major cost saving happens due to energy efficiency in may ways

y Right from selection of energy efficient equipment

y Running with optimum requirement

yTimely fault identification and thereby avoiding capital investment

yTimely Maintenance

8/3/2019 Tidel Park

27/28

y Indirect ways like

y Report generation and thereby locating happenings very precisely. Analysis being make easy and

simple.

y Because of effective utilization of machineries, lesser expenses for maintenance team.

y Less expenses for reduced usage of Light Fittings.

Also, we all are likely to work more efficiently in an effective intelligent building, after all human

efficiency is most important.

Intelligent Building Design :

At design stage of the building, designer has to keep in mind for intelligent building design concepts like

y Shape and direction of the building, so that it calls for less loading on artificial cooling/heating system

y Provision of Attrium leads to saving in illumination cost.

y Decision on right kind of false ceiling

y Designing with roof insulation to reduce artificial cooling/heating.

y Decision on location of plant room and other technical area keeping in mind proper movement of

various services.

y At design stage, provision of adequate space for movement of services which will keep the building

intelligent by providing adequate shaft at right place, maintenance provision etc.

Conclusion

With lot of energy crisis in todays world now its important for architects, engineers and construction

managers to make buildings which are energy efficient. Its important to understand that more

electronics does not necessarily mean more intelligent building. Also, the entire control has to be

effective and cost effective and finally balanced decision is to be taken for effective design.
