1 System Architecture
1.1 System Integration
The system provider shall furnish and install a fully integrated Building Management System (BMS), incorporating distributed control techniques and standard open communication networks. The system shall be implemented as an integrated, open solution, which integrates BMS and Security systems into one system and enables remote connectivity through standard Building Operating System (BOS) interface of the BMS Server. BMS systems shall be integrated with the BMS Server, applying the open BOS platform as described in the System Architecture. The BMS Server shall provide standard connectivity to one or several Service Center(s), which shall be capable of providing advanced maintenance and security services. System Architecture shall be as specified in the following chapters. Responsibilities of the system provider and system integrator shall be according to normal specifications and practices.

1.2

The System Architecture shall consist of four levels: Service Level Management Level Control Level Field Level

The system shall be completely modular in structure and freely expandable at any stage. Each level of the system shall operate independently of the next level up, as specified in the system architecture. For example, Control Level shall operate independently without support from Management Level. The system shall be fully consistent with the latest industry standards. To enable efficient functional system integration and to provide maximum flexibility and to respond to changes in the building use, the system offered shall support the use of LonWorks, Modbus, BACnet, M-bus, Ethernet TCP/IP and Internet communication technologies. 1.2.1 Service Level Service Level shall allow the systems to be connected without additional software to one or several Service Center(s), for providing centralized remote monitoring, alarm and fault detection of connected building management and security systems. The Service Center shall be capable of accessing remotely the systems using a standard interface through the Building Operating System (BOS) platform. The standard connectivity shall enable providing advanced maintenance and security services, such as maintenance alarm monitoring, security alarm monitoring, remote diagnostics, main user capability, remote control and optimization of all systems, energy optimization, trending and reporting services.

0-10 VDC output, proportional to 0 to 300 ppm of carbon monoxide concentration Standard accuracy to be 5% of reading or 5 ppm, whichever is greater Operating temperature of 0C to 50C

5.5

Differential Pressure Sensors

Air differential pressure sensor shall meet the following requirements: Output shall be 0-10VDC output proportional to pressure input range Select range as required, taking into consideration pressure drop across filter or coil. Typically 0 to 500pa range for low-pressure commercial duct. Operating temperature range of 0C to 60C

Water differential pressure sensors shall meet the following requirements: Output of 0-10 VDC proportional to the pressure sensed Momentary over pressure protection of five times the rated input Operating range shall be suitable for the application. Select range such that it covers from zero differential pressure up to a differential static pressure of between 20% to 50% in excess of the maximum static pressure that could be encountered. Accuracy of better than 1% of full-scale reading

5.6

Air Differential Pressure Switches

Air differential pressure switches shall meet the following requirements: Field adjustable range from 50pa to max range of device Select range as required, taking into consideration pressure drop across filter or coil. Typically 0 to 500pa range for low-pressure commercial duct. Temperature range of 40C to 82C Automatic reset

6 Integration with Security Systems

6.1 Access control and Intruder Alarms
It shall be possible to integrate Access Control System with BMS Server using the Building Operating System (BOS) as the integration platform. The main reason for integration is to enable Security Management System Operators to rapidly locate the alarm(s), utilising the shortcut function to relevant floor plan view of Professional User Interface and utilize information of other systems like camera views and occupancy information while handling the incidents. Integration shall enable as in the following: 1.) Triggering of different situations to zones of the building - Home /Away / Away for long to save energy and to ensure comfortable indoor conditions.

2.) Enable operating Access Control and Intruder alarm systems from Multiple User Interfaces supported by BOS 3.) Triggering functions like starting video recording and turning on lights from events like unauthorised access attempt, 4) Triggering functions like turning ON the Air Conditioning Unit of the room while the employee/person is granted access to the building. Access control shall be implemented with proximity readers, control nodes, electronic keys and electric locks. Users can be classified so that they have access only to the spaces they are allowed to enter according to programmed time schedules. The access control system is connected to BOS for full control and reporting, and integrated into the central user interface. Intruder alarm system shall include perimeter protection and indoor surveillance. Monitored doors and windows shall be equipped with magnetic contacts. Movement detectors used in indoor surveillance shall be sensitive enough for presence detection of a single person, so that they can also be used for lighting controls and air-conditioning controls. Intruder alarms are seamlessly integrated on software level to access control, CCTV/DVR/NVR, lighting control and building automation. Granted access disarms the alarm zones automatically. In case of burglary the system gives an alarm, which is relayed through BOS to Service Center and/or to specified mobile phones. Access control and intruder alarm system has to function independently without Management Level. To achieve this, system must have distributed intelligence, which can be located in either Network Controllers or Interface Panels.

6.2

Video Surveillance
It shall be possible to integrate Video Surveillance with BMS Server using Building Operating System (BOS) as the integration platform. Integration of Video Surveillance to BMS Server shall enable not only security operators to utilize the system but also other service providers and occupants. For example, a lot of maintenance alarms can be verified by viewing live and recorded video streams via the Professional User Interface and rapid corrective action can be taken. Video monitoring shall be implemented with Hybrid Digital Video Recording (DVR) or a fully IP based Network Video Recording (NVR) system. The video monitoring system shall be integrated with BOS so that the system shall start recording video stream upon triggering from intruder alarm system, access control, CCTV or any other system integrated to BOS. The video monitoring system shall support both analog and IP cameras. The system shall preferably run on Linux operating system. Usage can be done both via video surveillance systems own User Interface Client and the integrated user interfaces of the BMS Server. In addition to the software based user interface, it shall be possible to additionally expand the operator workstation with hardware based keypad and joystick interfaced with the system.

6.3

Fire alarms
It shall be possible to integrate Fire Alarm System with BMS Server using the Building Operating System (BOS) as the integration platform. Fire alarm system shall be integrated with BOS for monitoring. Fire alarm system can either be integrated by using potential free contacts from the Fire Alarm Panels which are connected to control modules, or by using system driver which gives alarm information on individual sensor level and zones to BOS. In both cases alarms are relayed to BOS and shown in the integrated graphical user interfaces.

6.4

Other systems
Other systems shall enable integration with BMS Server using the Building Operating System (BOS) as the integration platform, whenever applicable.
