Discovering the Unseen World

1. Discovering the Unseen World Toby ConsidineCo-Chair oBIX Technical Committee Systems Specialistblog: www.NewDaedalus.com

2. The engineered world is invisible and uncontrollable

3. Established business practices limit information sharing.

4. Lack of interoperability of information wastes energy

5. We can no longer afford to make decisions about capital facilities that are not fact based

6. Information standards will give us visibility and interoperability

7. Traditional practices do not share information across design, construction, and operation

8. Every stage of building acquisition is in its own silo • Current manufacturing is 66% value added, 26% waste and 12% support. • Current construction is 10% value added, 57% waste and 33% support. • NIST identified 16 Billion annually in value lost due to non-interoperability of information

9. Design intents are lost before design

10. Energy models are extrinsic to design processes

11. Conflicts are not addressed prior to construction.

12. Performance and green principles cannot just be bolted on

13. Use intrinsic energy models to commission the design

14. Commission buildings to the standard of the energy model

15. Continuously commission buildings to perform as designed

16. An integrated information model enables new results

17. Single model reduces cost while speeding construction

18. Transfer operating information from design to operations

19. Create feedback from actual operations to future designs.

20. Higher performing buildings require interoperable interfaces

21. Control Protocols are for domain experts only

22. Control systems are too complex to integrate into operations

23. Monolithic protocols make system interactions too complex. HTML IMAP / POP3 SMTP TELNET URIs ASCII / Unicode TCP IP

24. Without nuanced security, systems cannot interact

25. Interoperable standards create opportunity for service definition

26. Can my system defend its mission?

27. Interoperability allows site-based system selection

28. What could you do if your building was part of your SOA? Presentation Layer 5 Integration Architecture (Enterprise Service Bus) QoS, Security, Management & Monitoring (Infrastructure Service) Data Architecture & Business Intelligence 6 7 8 4 Business Process Process Choreography Services 3 Atomic and Composite Services Components 2 Enterprise Components Existing Application Resources and Assets 1 Package Custom Application Industry Models Custom Application Package Composite service Atomic service

29. Without situation awareness, services must limit interaction

30. System integrators must define systems roles

31. Federated Identity Management ties my identity to my role

32. Abstraction and security enable interaction

33. Smart buildings need partners to solve the biggest energy issues.

34. Buildings that are not responsive are not efficient

35. 40% of energy in North America is used by building operations.

36. Buildings do not interact with their tenants

37. Responsive buildings can save 25%-50% of their energy use

38. The power grid operates under 1930’s business models.

39. 30 days of use is summed and you can read it two weeks later

40. If you can’t control load, make sure there is always too much

41. Two-way communication will enable the building to respond

42. Live markets in energy can improve performance dramatically

43. Open meter standards enable exchange of live use data

44. Building agents can respond to prices to solve grid congestion

45. Only coordination that is simple and secure will scale

46. Poor data sharing in capital assets are at the heart of some very large societal problems.

47. We need new business practices based upon information sharing.

48. We can apply best practices from IT to acquisition and operation of capital assets.

49. Building information stewardship and open agent-based interfaces bring the hidden world of embedded systems into open and effective use.
