  1. Towards the emergenceof open solutionsfor added-value servicesin Intelligent Buildings Marc Bourdeau Centre Scientifique et Technique du Bâtiment (CSTB)

  2. Skills Introduction to CSTB Status Centre for research, consultancy, evaluation and knowledge dissemination State-owned industrial and commercial corporation under the control of the Ministry of Housing

  3. Marne-la-Vallée Paris Nantes Grenoble Sophia Antipolis CSTB Budget & Workforce 2003 total operating income: 66 million Euros 650 people in all, among which 50% engineers and researchers

  4. CSTB Organisation 8 departments organized into four major activities SOCIETY ISSUES INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY Sustainable development Safety, structures and fire performance Economics and social sciences Information technology And knowledge dissemination STRUCTURES AND COMFORT CONSTRUCTION PRODUCTS AND TECHNIQUES Acoustics and lighting Climatology, aerodynamics, pollution and sewage treatment Envelope and coatings Hydraulics and sanitary equipement

  5. TIDS – Information Technology and Knowledge Dissemination Knowledge engineeringConcurrent engineeringCollaborative workVirtual RealityAmbient intelligenceFM SystemsDocument engineeringNatural Language ProcessingMultimedia applications • R&D activities and dissemination of information & knowledge towards the construction industry by using the most advanced IC Technologies • Providing professionals with innovative tools or ICT-based services meant to improve job efficiency and increase company competitiveness • ~ 70 people Information Technologies & Diffusion of Knowledge Advanced Information Systems Software Application and Integration Laboratory Publishing & Diffusion

  6. Overall context • Sustainability awareness: • Reduction of Energy consumption ( Positive Energy Buildings) • Environmental issues • Societal issues e.g. quality of life, elderly and disabled people • Application to our living environment, including home buildings: • Low energy consuming • Comfortable • Safe • Secure • Nice-to-live (“entertainment home”) • Connected to the outside • Easy-to-exploit and (even) reconfigure/readapt

  7. Past experience Home Automation (1990s) turned out to fail for several reasons: • High installation costs • Limited approach (mainly energy management) • Proprietary solutions • Not open and not reconfigurable solutions • No evolutivity and no adaptation to change in building usage or user profile • No real guarantee on durability

  8. New context for Digital Home • Communication networks (wireless, RF, PLC…) easier installation, inter-connection of home networks with outside (incl. cars) • Protocols (IPv6, UPnP…)  multi-addressing, auto-configuration, interoperability, flexibility • Electronics  miniaturisation & integration • Power systems  low consuming batteries… • Software architectures  openness, flexibility,re-configurability…

  9. Our vision for Digital Home • Information & electronics embedded in building components & equipments (together with sensors and actuators) • Building components become active, communicating and interoperable within a global system that provides advanced services related to: • Energy savings • Comfort • Health & Safety • Security • Elderly & Disabled people • Multimedia & Entertainment • Tele-Work • Exploitation & Facilities Management Economic, environmental & societal benefits

  10. Our vision for Digital Homes (cont’d) • Open, distributed, flexible & (self)-reconfigurable systems that implement global and dynamic management strategies adaptable to user profiles & behaviour • New components can be easily plugged into an existing system automatic identification, self-configuration, behaviour automatically defined by local embedded strategy and/or global strategy • Existing components can be replaced by equivalent ones • Dynamic reconfiguration in case of component failure, temporary or definitive change of use strategy, etc. • Transparency and no/little parameterisation needed from the end-user • Low-cost solutions

  11. Potential role for CSTB • Multi-disciplinary & global approach: Building Technologies, IC Technologies, Human Science • Independence from domain-specific industry interests • “Industrial Facilitator” in order to: • Develop & promote open standards and communication protocols, leading to potential for assessment and certification of home equipments • Develop communicating building components • Develop relevant management/control strategies

  12. Some current R&D work • Partnership with W3Home (MBDS-UNSA) Mock-up of an integrated home gateway to assist elderly people in case of high temperature (2004) • Call Ademe/PUCA 2003 Exploratory study on active building envelopes • Call Ademe/PUCA 2004 Communicating objects for energy management (COMETE project, with INNO, MBDS,…) • Call PACA Laboratory for testing solutions supporting elderly people at home

  13. Active Multi-function Envelope • Project funded by Ademe/PUCA(Call 2003 « Prepare Buildings for 2010 ») • Identify (and model) the various types of active building envelope components, together with sensors, that can be “home networked” to provide services to: • Reduce energy consumption • Optimise comfort (thermal, visual, acoustic, air quality) • Explore the software architecture that can support communication between those components • Define integrated management strategies • Several components used for a given service • A given component used for several services (e.g. presence sensor)

  14. Some active facade components

  15. Active component modelling Example of aRolling Shutter Day/NightOcc./Inocc. Weather Temperature Positioning status Shutter Lighting

  16. Component implementationthrough intelligent agents • Agents have autonomous capacity to: • Adapt • Make decision • Auto-assemble • Co-ordinate

  17. Digital home for elderly people • Elderly and disabled people need to stay longer at home for social and economical reasons • Digital home can offer to them safer and easier-to-use environment • Proof-of-concept developed in W3Home according to a specific scenario • CSTB project for a laboratory to develop and test new solutions for elderly people: • Openness & interoperability • Reliability (through event correlation) • Collaboration with INRIA (Orion Team) for video analysis

  18. W3Home pilot (for elderly people) OSGI Server Temperature History Alarm component linked to indoor temperature Config IP Network • Analysis intervals • Time scale • Alert level UPnP Bridge Non IP World Motion Sensor Thermometer Flowmeter

  19. Lab schema

  20. Conclusion • Deployment of Digital Home needs a large acceptance & trust by users based on: • Pluggable & interoperable components & equipments • Extensible & reconfigurable solutions • Dynamically adaptable management/control strategies • Low cost systems • Market addresses not only new buildings but also existing ones • CSTB, thanks to its multi-disciplinary skills, has a role to play, together with industrials, to define & promote a reference technical framework that will allow the development of certified components, equipments and systems
