so EXAM
CISCO I welcome back all my readers

Many people think that an ICT Engineer only does some software development or

writes some code in a command line interface in a control room (Data Center or
MANAGEMENT
NOC) to monitor and troubleshoot computer networks. Let me tell you that this is
just a half truth: due to advancements in IP networking, we can connect and control

machine communication. This gives ICT engineers a huge opportunity to work any

Smart Building is nothing but advanced and integrated building technology
systems.
BUSINESS These systems include Building Automation, Communication, Audio-Visual,
SKILLS

Security and Public Safety. Smart Building uses an IP Network as backbone


VIRTUALIZATION
infrastructure to provide convergence of all building engineering services. The
Internet integrates all building engineering services and serve as the 4th utility (after
LEADERSHIP

water, HVAC and power) within a building. It gives the building owner and developer
VIDEOS
great flexibility and cost effectiveness in terms of design and deployment of building
technology systems. Integrated building technology not only provides the actionable
INTERVIEWS

information but it also reduces the operation cost for the building owner and the
tenant.

Before discussing Integrated Smart Building technology, let’s look at traditional


building engineering services.

From the above diagram, you can easily understand that in traditional building

engineering services, multi-proprietary separate building systems run within the
building premises and are controlled by separate control units. This type of system is
COMPUTING
more costly to deploy, and even harder to manage and more expensive to maintain
UNCATEGORIZED
during daily operations.

BUSINESS SKILLS
Imagine 10-15 years back, when telephony, Data Network, video surveillance systems,
cable TV, and building automation contractors need to work seperately and lay their
VIRTUALIZATION
cable and accessories. It was time consuming and needed way too much project
LEADERSHIP
coordination. Due to technology advancements, IP networking protocols and
Ethernet networks, we gained the capability to run all these services in a single
VIDEOS

integrated network. It gives the developer a better chance to run all building
INTERVIEWS
engineering services in a common platform, thus needing less coordination and
making it easier to manage.

Research also shows that 75% of total builiding costs (Construction + Operation) is
obtained during building operations. Using integrated building systems lets us save
more money during daily operations even if we have to invest a little more in the
initial construction stage. In the long run, this solution is also economically viable for
the building owner.

LEADERSHIP
Let’s discuss more about traditional building service engineering.
VIDEOS
Building Service Engineering or electro-mechanical work is a multi-displinary
INTERVIEWS
engineering task. Building Service Engineering primarily divides into Electrical
Engineering, Mechanical Engineering & Plumbing or Public Health Engineering
(MEP), all of which are subdivided into several other small engineering services.

The building services engineer works closely with other construction professionals
such as the architect, structural engineers, quantity surveyors, etc. In the figure
below, you can see that I merged the Plumbing and Mechanical parts together for
better understanding, and we subdivided Electrical Engineering into Power
Engineering (low and medium voltage, electrical wiring) and Lighting Systems, and
most importantly, the ELV Engineering.

In Electrical Engineering, ELV stands for Extra Low Voltage Systems, Low Current
CLOUD
Systems, Electronic Systems or simply as Telecommunication systems. By definition,
COMPUTING
any electrical system which has circuit work <50 Vrms (in case of AC current) or <120
V (in case of DC current) is known as a Low Current/ELV System. You may know that
UNCATEGORIZED
most of our Cisco switches and routers, CCTV, HP servers and storage components
BUSINESS SKILLS
work in this voltage range. During my university days, I was also not aware that ICT
components can also be called ELV Systems. As this is an electrical engineering
VIRTUALIZATION
term, most IT and Telecommunication engineering guys tend to take power and
LEADERSHIP
voltage as granted, so we simply never thought about or gave importance to it.

VIDEOS
Let’s discuss the typical engineering approach to constructing a Smart Building.
From the figure below, you can understand that the Building Owner or Developer
INTERVIEWS
can go to any design consultancy company (ex. Atkins, Jacobs, etc.) and ask them to
design their required building’s (ex. hotels, residential complexes, hospitals, etc.)
infrastructure. Once the architect completes the design and the valuer estimates the
approximate budget, the developer asks for tender from local and international
Engineering Procurement Construction (EPC) contractor (such as L&T).

Remember that every building has its own requirements, so the systems you will
find in hotels may not be the same as in universities or hospitals. During this stage,
the Building Owner also assign a Project Management Company (ex. Hill
International) to manage and coordinate with all parties during project execution.

BUSINESS SKILLS

Normally a building owner would award an entire project to an EPC contractor


VIRTUALIZATION
(main contractor) for a lump sum of money, providing an opportunity for easier
LEADERSHIP
project management, especially in cost control. For MEP work, the main contractor
normally gives a subcontract to an M.E. Contractor (such as Tata Voltas) or they could
VIDEOS
also have an in-house MEP department (such as Saudi Oger), and then give ICT &
INTERVIEWS
ELV Systems Integration to a systems integrator (such as Qatar Technology Group).
Sometimes the ELV Systems integrator company works under the main contractor
directly but in most cases they work under an MEP contractor as an ELV
subcontractor.

In general, for any type of smart builiding the estimated cost for ICT & ELV Systems is
10-15% of the total budget of the project. Usually, during the tendering phases the
procurement and pre sales engineer of the systems integrator select a list of
approved vendors and suppliers in coordination with the client’s approved material
lists. Once a system integrator wins the bid, they evaluate how much resources they
have and how much they have to outsource it.

Engineers. In most cases, one of the Project Engineers have specialist knowledge in

components, security systems, or audio-visual systems. The other would be more

experienced with Building Automation & Control Systems, though both engineers
must understand each other’s scope and will need to coordinate every day the
during the entire project phase.

Please remember that in big projects such as airports or oil and gas plants there
may be several project engineers specializing in security, communication, audio-
visual, automation and control systems separately. However, I have seen most
companies assign two project engineers for executing work and keep site engineers
(junior engineers) in different systems because it gives them cost effective solutions.

I hope you now have a clear idea about the scope of work for ICT Engineers in a
Smart Building construction. Before doing a case study, let’s look at some common
VIRTUALIZATION
terms you may encounter:
LEADERSHIP
ICT Passive Components: Simply put, passive components work without power.
VIDEOS
They are mainly used for telecommunication wiring in a building environment,
sometimes also called as Structured Cabling Systems. Common passive
INTERVIEWS

components include: racks, cabinets, fiber optics abd UTP patch panel, UTP cables,
back box, floor box, etc.

ICT Active Components: Any type of Telecommunication Systems which work by


using power are called ICT active components, which include switches, routers,
wireless components, CCTV, access control, etc.

Due to advancements in Power of Ethernet (PoE) technology, most


telecommunication devices now run over Ethernet (Cat 6 Cable). This provides
greater flexibility and less wiring in built environments.

As you can see, the dish antenna is installed on the roof and runs towards IPTV head-
end which is present inside the Data Center, and from there it will be connected to
the core switch. In the technological offer, you have to prepare a high level design
very clearly, and once it gets approval, material submittal and low level design will
need to be submitted separately.

Once physical installation of all endpoints, racks and active components are
completed, the testing and commissioning stage will start. In this stage, you need a
good systems integrator to be working with you to integrate all the systems. The
