To improve the occupant comfort, efficient operation of building systems, reduction in energy
consumption, operating costs, and improve life cycle of utilities we implementing the Building
Automation System in our building.
Advantage
Energy Savings
it is estimated that a BAS can save a business between 5% and 30% on utility costs by
managing lighting systems. lighting are the largest users of energy in modern buildings
and are usually the first systems to be automated. Wireless BAS systems can monitor
every zone of the building and make instant adjustments to maintain comfort while
lowering energy usage. Lighting can be reduced remotely in areas of the building that are
not occupied which also cuts energy costs.
Environmental Impact
By reducing the energy usage of a building, a BAS also reduces the amount of
greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere. A BAS can be integrated into plumbing
systems to monitor and reduce water usage. By eliminating waste, these systems help
buildings use resources more efficiently and reduce their impact on the environment. The
systems also allow third parties, like government agencies, to collect data and validate the
amount of energy consumed by the building.
Improved Security
The need for security depends on the nature of the business conducted in the building. A
BAS can be programmed to lock doors and turn off lights at a designated time. Should an
employee wish to access the building after that time, a key card will allow access and the
system will turn on the lights in the area where the employee is working, but nowhere
else. The system can also be programmed to control exterior lights in parking lots and
security cameras. Should a security breach occur, the system will notify appropriate
personnel.
Operator Convenience
Many BAS can be accessed from any location with an internet connection so building
operators do not have to be on site to access building data. Facilities with more than one
building can integrate the systems of all the buildings onto a single front end computer
which allows an operator to monitor the entire facility from a single source. Since the
system provides the data to diagnose problems, it saves money by reducing the number of
employees required to provide building maintenance.
SENSOR
FINISHING
Energy Star
For our building we are implementing the Energy Star Appliances where they are environmental
friendly by reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Besides, it is reduced energy costs and it more
convenience where it more smart technology appliances.
Home electronics
Energy Star qualified televisions use 30% less energy than average. In November 2008,
television specifications were improved to limit on-mode power use, in addition
to standby power which is limited by the current specifications. A wider range of Energy
Star qualified televisions will be available. Other qualified home electronics include
cordless phones, battery chargers, VCRs and external power adapters, most of which use
90% less energy.
Lighting
The Energy Star is awarded to only certain bulbs that meet strict efficiency, quality, and
lifetime criteria.
Energy Star qualified fluorescent lighting uses 75% less energy and lasts up to ten times
longer than normal incandescent lights.
Energy Star Qualified light-emitting diode (LED) Lighting:
Reduces energy costs uses at least 75% less energy than incandescent lighting,
saving on operating expenses.
Reduces maintenance costs lasts 35 to 50 times longer than incandescent lighting
and about 2 to 5 times longer than fluorescent lighting. No bulb-replacements, no
ladders, no ongoing disposal program.
Reduces cooling costs LEDs produce very little heat.
To qualify for Energy Star certification, LED lighting products must pass a variety of
tests to prove that the products will display the following characteristics:
Brightness is equal to or greater than existing lighting technologies (incandescent or
fluorescent) and light is well distributed over the area lighted by the fixture.
Light output remains constant over time, only decreasing towards the end of the rated
lifetime (at least 35,000 hours or 12 years based on use of 8 hours per day).
Excellent color quality. The shade of white light appears clear and consistent over
time.
Efficiency is as good as or better than fluorescent lighting.
Light comes on instantly when turned on.
No flicker when dimmed.
No off-state power draw. The fixture does not use power when it is turned off, with
the exception of external controls, whose power should not exceed 0.5 watts in the off
state.
Paint Material
For our building paint material, we use the paint technology from Japan that is Gaina
Paint which consist of many benefits or advantage compare with other paint material
where:
Heat Protection
Application of GAINA to building exterior and roof prevents approximately 95% of
negative effects from the sun, which creates a favorable years environment for summer.
Cold Protection
By putting GAINA coating to ceilings and interior inside of building also help keep
almost 60% of heat energy mostly emitted, which creates a favorable environment for
winter.
Environment
AINA suggests surprisingly powerful effect on preventing invasion and leakage, which
eventually leads to reduction of power assumption and CO2 emission. GAINA's
advanced insulation would be one of the most powerful tools for reduction of CO2.
Noise Protection
GAINA coating reduces all kinds of audible noise by 4 to 10 decibels because GAINA
has powerful effects on dampening vibration. GAINA keeps your residence very quiet.
Odor Protection
The high performance ceramic materials that GAINA contains neutralize/ionize toxic
substances and odors in the air, which creates pollution-free environment.
Safety
GAINA is eco-friendly waterborne coating and registered as a formaldehyde-free product
in Japan. (FOUR-STAR in formaldehyde release category = Less than 0.005mg per m2h)
Fire Safe
GAINA is highly certified as incombustible substance by Japan Ministry of Land,
Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.
CEILING MATERIAL
Suspended Ceilings
For the ceiling material we use the suspended ceilings. There are various of benefits by
using that type.
Easy Installation
Drop ceiling installation is an easy do-it-yourself project that requires only simple
household tools.
Soundproofing
Suspended ceilings offer superior acoustic properties (better than drywall ceilings) to
absorb sound, so surrounding rooms are quieter.
Fire Safety
Armstrong ceiling panels and tiles are fire-retardant and meet industry standards for
flame-spread ratings.
Energy Efficiency
The insulating effect of suspended ceiling panels may help lower home heating or cooling
bills. In addition, the highly reflective surface of white panels creates a brighter space,
optimizing light reflection and reducing the need for additional lighting.
Eco-Friendly
If youre making an effort to reduce your carbon footprint, you may want to know that
suspended ceiling panels from Armstrong contain recycled post-consumer and postindustrial products.
DOOR MATERIAL
For our building door we use the Trustile door type where it was built with
environmentally-friendly materials and sustainable manufacturing practices and highquality MDF doors for painted applications. MDF is comprised of recycled postindustrial wood products. Materials such as sawdust, wood shavings and hog wood are
broken down into cellulose fibers. For super-refined MDF, the fibers are processed again
to further remove impurities and for more uniformity. These fibers are then mixed with
resin and compressed to form MDF sheets
Although TruStiles standard MDF doors are low emitting and meet CARB (California
Air Resources Board) and ANSI(American National Standards Institute) standards for
formaldehyde emissions, some homeowners and building professionals demand no-added
formaldehyde products. TruStile answers this demand with a no-added formaldehyde
MDF option that contains no urea-formaldehyde resin.
Responsible Manufacturing
TruStile understands that Green is about more than just our product. It is a manufacturing
philosophy that influences the way we do business. TruStile utilizes Lean Manufacturing
practices to make extremely efficient use of our manufacturing space and our raw
materials. This results in a smaller operation that minimizes waste and environmental
impact.
