  1. How ICT can Create a Leaner and More Sustainable Estate www.goodcampus.org

  2. THE ESTATES CHALLENGE • Low utilisation- of (often expensive) space- of equipment • High operational costs- especially highly serviced space- much inefficiency and wastage • Dysfunctional space- infrastructure, interaction, noise etc. • Inadequate budgets and capacity

  3. ESTATES AND IT • IT as key factor in building layout and energy/thermal performance • Estates providing support services to IT- space, conduits, cooling, power supply • IT supporting Estates hardware/software • Estates running vendor supported systems- Building Management System, dashboards • Estates providing MIS data e.g. space • IT apps supporting Estates environmental responsibilities e.g. travel, waste

  4. IT AND ENERGY/THERMAL PERFORMANCE • 20-25% of non-residential electricity is IT-related • IT is 17% of Cambridge Chemistry Lab’s £700,000 electricity bill • IT can be 50% or more of heat load in today’s buildings • IT electricity usage can easily be reduced

  5. DATA CENTRE OPPORTUNITIES Power management Consolidation/Virtualisation More efficient device design More efficient storage Better air management Free/efficient cooling Wider humidity/temp bands Flexibility and control Power Conversion & Distribution Server Load/ComputingOperations Cooling Equipment Voltage optimisation Use of DC power Highly efficient UPS systems Efficient redundancy strategies On-site renewables Waste heat for cooling Fuel cells Thermal storage AlternativeEnergy Supply

  6. TOTAL COST

  7. “The GSA realises that the smartest part of smart buildings is people and wants to engage them. Providing feedback and information through a dashboard is a good start. With smart technology, we can learn anything we want about a building and optimise its performance. But real performance means happier, more productive tenants. And that requires insights into the hearts and minds of the people inside. What a dashboard can really do is enable better decisions, inspire participation, spread knowledge and best practices, communicate at a human scale and propagate new norms in how we use our buildings.”

  8. This is how we did it Confronting Inequality: Celebrating Diversity

  9. PILOT FEEDBACK

  10. WORKPLACE ENERGY MONITORING • Complicated presentation of energy data • Limited interaction • Closed systems with no social data sharing • Limited online applications • Bound to proprietary software, usually technical

  11. ENERGY FEEDBACK PROTOTYPES Prototypes are online consuming live energy data

  12. PROJECT DELTA Lab ventilation costs HE c. £150 million pa Fume cupboards use £1000-2000 of energy pa Aim: Display and reporting of usage data to influence user behaviour

  13. Compute intensive- simulation and visualisation • Highly automated • Closely controlled • Tracked in detail • Using e-work methods THE ICT-INTENSIVE LAB

  14. SENSING - CONVENTIONAL • Disadvantages • High first cost • High maintenance costs • Lack of accuracy, esp differential measurements

  15. SENSING - MULIPLEXED • Routes multiplexed air samples to central sensors • Integrated into BMS for monitoring & control • Includes web based data collection & analysis Web Analysis Sensor Suite Lab Airflow Controls AHU 2 -1 Room 101 Room 102

  17. N0 MORE LONELY FUME EXTRACTS • BMS • Energy displays and reporting • Vendor monitoring • Maintenance monitoring • Fire • Air quality monitoring • Timetabling • Standards and consistent naming is critical

  18. ICT BENEFITS – SMART 2020 • Cut global CO2 emissions in 2020 by 15%, with $946 billion of cost savings • 5:1 carbon cost:benefit ratio • Main savings- Intelligent buildings- Smart grid- New ways of working
