Building Controls and Facilities Management in 21st Century
- BATTELLE (PACIFIC NW LAB)
Managing buildings requires a wide array of skills and tools for building operations, maintenance, engineering, forecasting, budgeting, health, safety, and security. Recent developments in open communication standards for building automation systems (BASs), as well as the pervasive use of Internet and intranet technologies, have created a flood of new options for owners and operators of facilities. The ability to manage facilities over the Internet enables remote monitoring, remote equipment diagnostics, and load aggregation -- all of which require significant data and image transfers in real time. In this paper we present a conceptual design to extend the traditional role of facilities management. The advantages of managing facilities that are distributed over the Internet are also described. Implementation and integration of various facilities management functions (remote monitoring, remote diagnostics, load aggregation, and whole facility optimization) are described as well.
