  1. Using Technology to Create Sustainable Green Buildings Jim Sinopoli Principal Smart Buildings Contributing Editor AutomatedBuildings.com Ken Sinclair, Editor/Owner Online Industry Magazine www.AutomatedBuildings.com

  2. Using Technology to Create Sustainable Green Buildings • We and International Exposition, the producer of AHR Expo 2008, welcome you to Chicago. • It has been a stormy year of politics, economics and radical changes that cries for more change and reinvention of almost everything. • Our buildings must be green while presenting a financial blue bottom line of sustainable connected real estate. • Our existing stock of large buildings inNorth America, which uses 50% more energy than they should, presents a huge opportunity.

  3. Who are we and why are we here? My name Ken Sinclair, Editor/Owner My 10th year doing these sessions. Jim Sinopoli, Principal, Smart Buildings Contributing Editor AutomatedBuildings.com

  4. Building Automation Sustainability • Whether you view the word “Building” as a noun or a verb the real goal we must achieve is Sustainability. • Reinvention of our Building Automation “BA” Industry is necessary. • For us to start Building Sustainability with Automation we must understand the opportunity upon us in smart grid and the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007.

  5. Buildings on the Grid For Smart Grid to be effective, it must include deep integration with consuming systems such as controlled systems of HVAC and lighting in buildings.

  9. The new measured variable “Carbon”

  10. Jim Sinopoli Principal, Smart Buildings Author of Smart Buildings available on line atwww.bn.com An International Smart Buildings Consultant Is going to tell us about: - $22billion Carbon free City - Dynamic Towers Dubai - Google’s Floating Cloud Data Center

  11. MASDAR • Funded by Mubadala Development Company • Designed by Foster + Partners • Powered entirely on solar energy and other renewable energy sources • Zero-carbon, zero-waste ecology • Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company (ADFEC) • Projected to cost US$22 billion • Started in 2006, eight year construction schedule. • First phase 2009 • 2.3 sq mi • 50,000 people • 1,500 businesses

  12. MASDAR Masdar Institute of Science and Technology (MIST) Automobiles will be banned within the city Public mass transit and personal rapid transit systems City will be walled, to keep out the hot desert wind Narrow, shaded streets that will also funnel breezes Partners include through the Clean Tech Fund, GE, BP, Royal Dutch Shell, Mitsubishi, Rolls-Royce, Total S.A., Mitsui and Fiat

  13. MASDAR • Power Sources • 40 to 60 megawatt solar power plant, built by the German firm Conergy (construction activity) • Larger facility and additional photovoltaic modules will be placed on rooftops to provide supplemental solar energy totaling 130 megawatts • Wind farms will be established outside the city's perimeter capable of producing up to 20 megawatts • Geothermal power • Hydrogen power plant • The city will not produce enough energy to power itself at night • Import gas-fired power from Abu Dhabi’s grid • Carbon accounting by exporting excess solar power to the grid during the day

  14. MASDAR • Water • Solar-powered desalination plant • 60 percent lower water needs than similarly sized communities • 80 percent of the water used will be recycled • Attempt to reduce waste to zero • Biological waste will be used to create nutrient-rich soil and fertilizer • Waste incineration as an additional power source • Recycle

  15. MASDAR SYSTEMS • Building operation • Electrical generation and distribution • Electrical energy meters • Water meters • Mechanical systems • Public health systems • Lighting control system • Automated shading system • Automated atrium roof lights • Vertical transportation • Public address system • Digital signage system • Sun tracking system • Irrigation system • Water features • Information portal system • Freight tracking RFID system • Personnel RFID system • MASDAR RFID tracking system • Ventilation system for catering facilities • Kitchen equipment • Point of sale system • Waste system • Audio visual systems • Library data base and alarm system • Automated book storage facility • Life Safety and Security • Seismic monitoring • Structural anti-corrosion monitoring • Fire detection/alarm system • Fire Suppression systems • Intruder detection system • Closed circuit television system • Access control system • Emergency lighting system • Oxygen depletion monitoring system • Refrigerant leak detection system • Water leak detection system • Disabled refuge telephone system • Fire fighters telephone system • Smoke extract system • Fire pump • Sump pumps • Transportation • PRT - Management centre • PRT - Security system • PRT - Ticketing system • Vehicle management system • LRT - Light Rail Transit System

  16. MASDAR SYSTEMS INTEGRATION

  17. DYNAMIC TOWER • 80 floors, 1,380 feet tall, • First 20 floors will be an offices • Floors 21 to 35 will be a luxury hotel • Floor 36 through 70 will be residential apartments • Top 10 floors will be luxury villas • Constantly changing shape of the tower • Rotation takes up to 3 hours • Power from photovoltaic solar cells and 79 wind turbines • Only part of the tower built on site will be the skinny center core. • Each floor will be prefabricated. • Require 600 people in the assembly facility and 80 technicians on the construction site.

  18. DYNAMIC TOWER • Construction schedule 18 months • Photovoltaic cells placed on the roof of each rotating floor - 20% of each roof will be exposed to the sun • Bosch Rexroth of Bosch Group, World leader of drive and control system is in charge of the engineering and manufacturing of all systems related to the • Mechanics of the revolving floors and interface between the floor (Plumbing, Electricity, etc) as well as the computerized control system.

  19. DYNAMIC TOWER • Draw electricity from a circular "third rail" in the core • Water supply and sewer consist of local tanks for each unit like a mobile home or RV. • Kitchen/bathrooms within the core to avoid any issues with plumbing connectivity • Pipes will connect to the core via attachments similar to the ones used by military aircraft for in-flight refueling. • Create enough energy to power to the entire tower

  20. Google’s Floating Data Center • Uses the ocean to provide power and cooling • Container-based data center (“crane-removable modules”) • Computers inside standard shipping containers to make them more portable • Quickly displaced and in service • Modularization also makes maintenance simpler • Located 3 to 7 miles from shore, in 500 to 700 feet of water. • 40 megawatt data centers • Don’t require real estate or property taxes. • Pelamis Wave Energy Converter units (roughly one unit per megawatt) • Wave farms • A side-view concept drawing taken from Google's patent filing for a "water-based data center," a floating facility that would be powered by wave-generated electricity. 

  21. Google’s Floating Data Center • Data center containers could be stacked two or more high, so that each data barge could hold “12 or more” containers. • Undersea cables • Google partnering with five other companies in building an undersea communications cable across the Pacific, which could provide high-speed connectivity to new Google data centers in Asia. • Signaling mechanisms such as strobe lights, flags, and horns to alert other ships of the existence and location of its data centers. • Questions about jurisdiction and which laws would govern • US territorial waters extend 12 nautical miles; other nation from 3 to 200 miles
