procedures are specified in other articles in this Section.

B. Adjust fans to deliver total design airflows within the maximum allowable rpm listed by the
fan manufacturer.

1. Measure fan static pressures to determine actual static pressure as follows:

a. Measure outlet static pressure as far downstream from the fan as practicable
and upstream from restrictions in ducts such as elbows and transitions.
b. Measure static pressure directly at the fan outlet or through the flexible
connection.
c. Measure inlet static pressure of single-inlet fans in the inlet duct as near the fan
as possible, upstream from flexible connection and downstream from duct
restrictions.
d. Measure inlet static pressure of double-inlet fans through the wall of the
plenum that houses the fan.

2. Measure static pressure across each air-handling unit component.

a. Simulate dirty filter operation and record the point at which maintenance
personnel must change filters.

3. Measure static pressures entering and leaving other devices such as sound traps, heat
recovery equipment, and air washers under final balanced conditions.
4. Compare design data with installed conditions to determine variations in design static
pressures versus actual static pressures. Compare actual system effect factors with
calculated system effect factors to identify where variations occur. Recommend
corrective action to align design and actual conditions.
5. Adjust fan speed higher or lower than design with the approval of the Engineer.
Make required adjustments to pulley sizes, motor sizes, and electrical connections to
accommodate fan-speed changes.
6. Do not make fan-speed adjustments that result in motor overload. Consult equipment
manufacturers about fan-speed safety factors. Modulate dampers and measure fan-
motor amperage to ensure no overload will occur. Measure amperage in full cooling,
full heating, and economizer modes to determine the maximum required brake
horsepower.

systems.
2. Set terminal units and supply fan at full-airflow condition.
3. Adjust inlet dampers of each terminal unit to indicated airflow and verify operation of
the static-pressure controller. When total airflow is correct, balance the air outlets
downstream from terminal units the same as described for constant-volume air
systems.

indicated airflow. When total airflow is correct, balance the air outlets downstream
from terminal units the same as described for constant-volume air systems.
5. Adjust terminal units for minimum airflow.

frequency and amplitude.

D. BAS analogue and digital outputs shall change as the result of either an operator entered
command or a BAS generated software command. These two modes of BAS output are
referred to as the BAS MANUAL CONTROL mode and the BAS SOFTWARE CONTROL
mode and differ as follows:

1. In the BAS manual control mode, the signal to a final control element such as a
valve or a damper actuator and to a relay such as a motor control relay shall
change as the result of a command manually entered at one of the operator
terminals. When an output is in the BAS manual control mode, there shall be no
means by which it can switch to the BAS software control mode or by which the

the discrepancy arises because of control of the motor by the fire alarm system or because of
a power failure, the motor control relay shall be set automatically to the OFF state, an alarm
shall be generated and the motor shall be placed in the BAS manual control mode.

1. If the discrepancy has arisen because of override control by the fire alarm system,
then the motor shall be restarted by the BAS in accordance with the procedure
detailed in the paragraph titled "Equipment Restart Following a Fire Alarm".
2. If the discrepancy has arisen because of a power failure, then the motor shall be
restarted by the BAS in accordance with the procedure detailed in the paragraph

facilitate control by the Fire Alarm System regardless of the BAS output control mode.

I. Unless stated otherwise elsewhere in these Specifications, the modulation of final control
elements by the BAS in the BAS software control mode shall be based on a Proportional-
Integral-Derivative (PID) control algorithm. The control constants for the PID algorithm
shall be definable by the operator. If self-tuning algorithms are provided, it shall still be
possible for the operator to manually tune the control loops. The software shall incorporate
facilities to enable the bump-less transfer of a modulating output from BAS manual control

status of an associated digital input indicates that an alarm condition is to be expected. Such
would be the case, for example, when an air handling unit is off as it would be expected that
the supply air temperature would be outside the alarm limits established for the operating
state. An interactive procedure shall enable the operator to link any analogue value to a
digital input so as to inhibit unnecessary alarms. Points with their alarms locked out shall
continue to be displayed on reports and graphical displays. The alarms shall remain locked
out for an operator defined time delay following the start-up of the associated equipment

B. Analog: A continuously varying signal value (temperature current, velocity, etc.).

C. BACnet: The Building Automation and Control Network open protocol communication
standard developed by ASHRAE (ANSI/ASHRAE 135-2016) and which is now an ISO and
ANSI standard. BACnet can operate over multimedia including Ethernet, ArcNet and
MSTP. The BACnet components shall be fully compliant with British standards BS EN
ISO 16484-5 (Building automation and control systems. Data communication protocol), BS
EN 13321-1 (Open data communication in building automation, controls and building
management. Home and building electronic system. Product and system requirements),
ANSI/ASHRAE 135-2016 and all other applicable codes.

D. BACnet Object: A physical or virtual point with a set of associated properties such as a
temperature sensor that has properties including, name, current value, maximum and
minimum values, high and low alarm levels, etc.

E. BACnet Conformance: A description of the capabilities of a device for communicating


information to other BACnet devices. It is usually a set of requirements to be met in order
for a device to conform to BACnet standards. There are 6 levels of conformance for
standard BACnet objects and services. The higher the conformance class the more features
that are covered. The BACnet devices furnished under this sub-contract shall, at minimum,
be conformance class 4.

F. BACnet Interoperability Building Blocks (BIBB’s): A BIBB defines a small portion of


BACnet functionality needed to perform a particular task. BIBB’s come in pairs, A and B,
which reflect the client/server nature. The A BIBB represents the client, i.e. the device
requesting information or commanding an action. The B BIBB represents the server, i.e.
the device furnishing the information or executing the command. For 2 devices to be
interoperable the A BIBB and the B BIBB must be the same.

G. BACnet/IP: The building automation and control network open protocol communication
standard which complies with ANSI/ASHRAE 135-2016.

H. Binary: A two-state system where a high signal level represents an “ON” condition and an
"OFF" condition is represented by a low signal level.

I. BAS: This shall mean the Automation and Field levels of the Integrated Building
Management System (IBMS).

2.24 SOFTWARE OPERATING SYSTEM: DATA BASES

A. Alarm data will be stored locally within the Building Level IBMS Servers database &
forwarded immediately to Central IBMS Servers,

B. Log data will be stored locally within the Building Level IBMS Servers database for a period
of 1 year & forwarded daily to the Central IBMS Servers.

C. The Database software will be compliant with the requirements; the minimum specifications
for the Database software are as follows;
1. The proposed databases for IBMS will be ORACLE™ (11.g or later), Microsoft SQL
Server (2008 or later), or similar and will include real time database mirroring and
on-line archiving;
2. Data Encryption capability will be provided for the IBMS database objects such as
tables or views and will use a strong encryption technique such as Rivest Cipher Five
(RC5). RC5 encryption is an industry standard, and allows for different levels of
encryption; the implementation of which for the IBMS would be RC5-32/12/26,
therefore, as a minimum it would be as strong as 256-bit Data Encryption Standard
(DES) encryption.

D. The database will be defined using a Global Data Dictionary (GDD), containing information
on the structure of the database. The GDD will be maintained and viewed using a database
management tool; this will be used to maintain configuration control of the database and the
deployed version on the operational servers. The database definition generated from the
GDD will be installed on the operational servers. The data dictionary itself is held within a
set of tables and defines the following:
1. The owner of the data;
2. Entity names and descriptions;
3. Table-space definitions;
4. Table names and descriptions;
5. View names and definitions;
6. Table and index sizing and storage parameters;
7. Foreign key and check constraints;
8. User extensions meta-data.

single point-in-time);

INTEGRATED BUILDING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (IBMS) 230901 - Page 36 of 96


E18066-0100D-FD-00-G00-SPC-15A-ME-01 REV 1
Central Business District CBD EAST – Phase 1
Of the New Administrative Capital

2. Provide creation of a read-consistent set of data when a table is being queried (read)
and simultaneously updated (written);
3. Provide original data values upon query when updated transaction remains
uncommitted;
4. Utilise rollback methodology for uncommitted transactions;
5. Utilise record locking mechanisms to prevent simultaneous updates to the same
record. Only the record(s) being updated will be locked;
6. Provide support for both distributed processing and distributed multiple databases
along with standard operations, including queries, inserts, updates, and deletes of
remote table data;
7. Provide support for automatic recovery from system or network failures (i.e.,
automatically commits or rolls back any in-doubt distributed transactions consistently
on all involved nodes when a failure occurs);
8. Provide support for transactions queuing and load balancing;
9. Provide referential integrity for all data such that modifications do not affect
historical data;
10. Provide capability of online “live” backup of all database objects;
11. Provide capability of “point of failure” recovery of all database objects within one
hour of the failure (i.e., dump transaction logs hourly) with a native utility package.

F. All database records will be identified by unique identification using creation date, time and
key index

G. The IBMS will provide automatic archive and backup of data and housekeeping of database
tables and disc files.

H. The archive mechanism will be activated by a system event which runs at a configurable time
during a quiet time. It will use a configurable set of Archive Rules, which can be set up for
any database table to perform one of the following actions:
1. Copy data from one table to another, then delete the copied data from the first table.
This process is known as archiving and is typically used to move live records into
historical tables. The same process will be used to archive certain system tables, such
as system logs and transaction logs;
2. Export the data to a disk file and then delete the exported data from the table. This
process is known as exporting, and is commonly performed on historical tables, so
that a predefined amount of data is kept in the online table and the rest is backed up to
a disk file;

3. Delete data from a table without archiving or exporting it, often referred to as
housekeeping. This is commonly performed on tables which grow over a period, but
which contain data that need not be retained; Historical ELV / low current system
data will be retained for a configurable period of time with a maximum of 5 years.
After this period it will be archived to disk. I.e. It will be possible to query the
historical data for a maximum of 5 years, and after that the historical data would need
to be manually restored from the archive in order to query it.

I. The backup process performs three main functions to provide a disaster recovery backup of
the dynamic data in the IBMS database. All database tables will be backed up to disk in two
ways:

Central Business District CBD EAST – Phase 1
Of the New Administrative Capital

1. As a Structured Query Language (SQL) script that can be run to re-insert the data;
2. As an export file.

J. Both backup files are put into a specified back up folder on the file server.

K. Mirroring is the process of copying the archive and backup files from the Master to the
Standby server, and vice versa, so that both servers have a full copy of the backed-up data
on disk.

L. Files in the Back-up folder will be written to a tape device following export/file creation from
the database.

2.25 SOFTWARE OPERATING SYSTEM: ALARMS

A. Alarms shall be generated by the IBMS upon the occurrence of one of the following events:
1. Failure of a PC, DDC controller, or any other IBMS hardware components.
2. Failure of communications between nodes on any LAN or the IBMS Management
level Network.
3. A monitored status indicates a discrepancy between the actual and the required value.
4. A monitored value does not meet criteria established by the operator.
5. The deviation of a variable from setpoint exceeds operator-established criteria.
6. The output to a final control element is outside operator-established criteria.
7. A digital input is in the state defined by the operator as indicating an alarm condition.
8. Software failures and errors shall be diagnosed and annunciated by the IBMS.

B. The failure of an IBMS hardware component, including communications failures, shall


generate an alarm that shall be differentiated from process alarms. If the failure of a PC
cannot be annunciated at a printer or graphical display at the OIW because of the IBMS
topology then provide an alternative means such as a "watchdog timer" at a NAC. The
alarm message generated by the IBMS shall clearly identify the component that has failed
and the location of a communications failure shall also be clearly indicated.

C. In the event that the IBMS detects a disparity between the actual and the required status of a
digital input, the IBMS shall generate an alarm and shall set the control relay to the off
state. This shall occur when the digital output is in both the IBMS manual control mode
and the IBMS software control mode and shall automatically place the output in the IBMS
manual control mode.

D. The operator shall be able to define alarm conditions for each analog input, at minimum, as
follows:
1. The high limit above which the variable is in alarm.
2. The low limit below which the variable is in alarm.
3. An end or range alarm. This shall occur when the analogue signal goes to zero or to
its maximum value.

E. The operator shall be able to assign deviation limits to setpoint values. An alarm shall be
generated when a controlled variable deviates from setpoint by more than an operator-
defined amount.

H. The operator shall be able to assign a time delay following detection by the IBMS of an alarm
condition such that if there is a return to normal during the assigned time delays the alarm
shall not be annunciated. If at the end of the time delay period the alarm condition still
exists then the IBMS shall annunciate an alarm within two (2) seconds (end-to-end time).
The time delay shall be individually assignable to each alarm condition. All monitored
points shall meet these alarm annunciation criteria regardless of type of panel used to
monitor the point.

I. The operator shall be able to assign a dead-band to all analog high and low alarm limits so as
to minimize the too frequent and unnecessary annunciation of alarms. An analogue alarm
limit shall not have returned to normal until it has returned beyond the alarm limit by a
sufficient amount to have also cleared the dead-band. The same shall also apply to
analogue output high and low alarms.

J. A report shall be available to the operator detailing points in alarm and a further report shall
be available to the operator detailing the alarm limits established for the monitored,
controlled and calculated points.

K. Designated alarms shall be output on the alarm printer.

L. The occurrence of designated alarms shall initiate a visual alarm at the OIW. A switch,
button or keyboard key shall be dedicated to the acknowledgment of alarms at the OIW.
The visual alarm shall cease after acknowledgment of an alarm unless another alarm is
awaiting acknowledgment. All alarms shall be acknowledged individually and the
acknowledgment shall be recorded on the alarm printer. The alarm message shall uniquely
identify the cause of the alarm together with the time of detection by the IBMS. The
operator shall be able to associate an "event message" with any alarm occurrence. The
operator shall be able to designate at which workstation(s) the alarm shall be annunciated.

M. Alarms shall be allocated priorities by the operator on-line using an interactive procedure. If
there are concurrent alarms then they shall be annunciated in order of their priority. An
icon shall appear on the graphical display when there are alarms other than those displayed.
The cursor and icon shall enable the operator to bring up an alarm report on the graphical
display at any time. There shall be at minimum, three levels of alarm priority. Alarms shall
be prioritized in the following categories, with the following actions taking place:

Category Action Taken

Critical. Printout on alarm printer and display on the


graphical display. Clearly distinguish critical alarms
on hard copy printouts and graphical displays and
reports.

Non-critical. Display.

IBMS component. Printout on alarm printer and display. Clearly


distinguish IBMS components alarms on hard copy
