3 INMOTICS 2.0: IGS Prime by DASSA

4 Inmotics 2.0 The building automation or inmotics is defined as the elements that automatically controls all the systems of a building. Currently we can find inmotic products that control some building systems and provide information on the readings and condition of these systems remotely. However, none of these are able to interact with the user in a simple and intuitive, and adapts its behavior according to this interaction. Dassa has coined the term inmotics 2.0 to refer to systems with a higher level of interactivity, who can control building systems in a truly selfgoverning way, keeping in mind the wishes of the user. IGS Prime The Inmotic Global System (IGS Prime) is the first inmotics 2.0 system, the real solution for retail land use, able to a smart and efficient control of building, offices, hotels, schools, sport facilities, and any other building with comprehensive management requirements. The system functionality is not limited to report and control of sensors and actuators, it takes the necessary measures to raise efficiency and keep the comfort and security building levels. The web access makes possible a world wide control and receipt of alarms.

5 LIGHTING The local control and centralized management of illumination makes possible reduce artificial light needs, increasing comfort and reducing power consumption. Constant lighting control The combined use of occupancy and sunlight sensors the system can determinate the amount of light and usage of rooms. With these data the central unit will act on lights and blinds, maintining a contant light level. This system saves between 35% and 50% of energy. Sunlight dependent control With sunlight sensors the central unit controls the amount of artifical light needed. As system doesn't know the occupancy with this control it's not possible to turn off the light when room become unemployed. In this case the energy saving level is between 25% and 45%. Occupancy control This control is recomended on areas without sunlight, so that the control is performed only by the occupancy or movement sensors, activating lighting only when there is occupation. In this case the savings potential depends on the degree of occupation of the area.

6 CLIMATE CONTROL HVAC systems control is to create an optimal eviroment for improving the quality life of people who live and work in the building and ensure efficient operation. To get the maximum comfort is essential to control, manage and monitor heating systems, air treatment equipments and air conditioning. The IGS Prime allows excelent control of temperature, humidity and air quality. The control is based on room and areas occupation and atmospheric conditions, reducing the power consumption of the building. The interaction of the whole system allows to determine different setpoints depending on occupancy. This makes possible to change the setpoing few degrees when room is unployed, and recover a confortable temperature in room in a short time when room is occuped. This contributes on a great savings on stays with sporadic use as meeting rooms. The IGS Prime also allows to turn the air conditioning system depending on the scene or by opening windows or doors among others.

7 ALARMS The integration of fire detection system, flood or gas, with other building systems adds versatility and performance of the alarm management protocols. Integration implies a system that operates autonomously and provide information to the central building system. The IGS Prime handles alerts and take appropriate action. Thus, for example, in case of fire the system can draw a list of occupied rooms to help on evacuation, disconnect ventilation systems and air conditioning so that no stoke the fire, disconnect the access control systems for better evacuation or block elevators. Alarms appear on HMI elements (screens, secondary displays, etc) but they can also be sent via e mail or SMS. It can also make emergency calls or warnings over loudspeakers.

8 SAFETY In every building there are high risk areas where access must be controlled and monitored to prevent manipulation of certain equipment and ensure the smooth working of the entire system. Access Control The system can allow or deny access to certain rooms, such as engine rooms, so improves the safety on these areas and keeps track of hits occurred and the hours thereof. Thanks to the centralization of all sensors, access must be granted unconditionally or depending on schedules or scenes, so that certain people can not access at all times to a certain area, but only at a specific time lapse, or only when the security elements of the area are activated. CCTV The system of Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras are capable of digitizing video without losing quality, as well as view and record the images captured by the cameras in real time, making video surveillance functions. The IGS Prime allows different recording modes: continuous, activation by presence or scene, or reduced. The system can consist of fixed or motorized cameras, and allows its remote management.

9 MOTOR CONTROL Doors and windows are controlled to maximize the use of natural resources, especially sunlight, which leads to reduced energy consumption and contributes to create a warm and pleasant ambiance. The system adjusts the position of slats, blinds and awnings according to current solar radiation in order to maximize natural light. It also gives support to the climate control system, adjusting its behavior according to the use and presence in the rooms. If sunlight falls directly on a stay in a sunny winter day, the system will open the blinds and curtains to allow complete incidence, while in summer the opposite will occur. This allows savings of up to 5% of energy. The system learns about the usage pattern of stays, time and occupancy frequency, and hence adapts the system response as a function of these parameters, avoiding continuous movements of the slats or blinds when dealing with a room that has presence and empties continuosly during certain hours of the day, in order to avoid consumption and wear out of the engine.

10 CENTRALIZED MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS The use of separate management systems for each functionality (climate, security...), with different protocols and architectures, precludes the transfer of information and their efficient management. The centralization of all functionalities enables control, automation and monitoring of the entire building by treating it as a single system, allowing full interaction, ensuring the exchange of information with the central module. In current installations it is common to find duplicate connections in elements that should be controlled by two different functionalities, especially in the lighting and power components. Our architecture streamlines the decisionmaking process and reduces the system cost. It also increases the efficiency by avoiding redundancies in the information processing and the action on the elements. Having all the information at a single point allows the generation of complex associated events, acting, for instance, on weather or lighting elements when receiving an event from a presence detector.

11 ENERGY EFFICIENCY MANAGEMENT The needs of economic profitability, operational and safety in electrical installations have evolved to become the key factor of a modern facility. Controlling the intake of the different electrical circuits allows us to monitor the status of the elements connected to it, evaluate their status, running hours, peak consumption, and even programming or configuring different elements in order to get the highest performance. Moreover, this allows monitoring whether our facilities are properly sized. By controlling the ignition of air conditioning machines and engines, it is possible to avoid high peak currents and penalties in power consumption, while achieving a more consistent and controlled consumption. In addition, it allows us to assess the proper functioning of the machinery and schedule appropriate preventive actions to always have all the equipment working at peak efficiency. For lines associated with a client, the system can know the associated cost, so it can efficiently calculate the generated actual costs.

12 APLICATIONS HOTELS The basic objectives of hotel automation are aimed at controlling the buildings environmental variables, in order to increase the performance of both the comfort of its customers and in the energy and environmental issues. This is done ensuring that the facilities run in accordance with the real needs of energy, lighting, air conditioning and water consumption. High levels of competition in the hotel sector progressively demands a reduction in operating costs, the ones with special relevance are energy and water costs. Thus, an effective energy management helps protect environment, it can extend the life of equipment and increase efficiency in decision making at the level of maintenance and investment in equipment. Although automation installations in hotels demand additional investment, the results have shown that these costs are amortized over a very short time and eventually reverts unquestionable economic benefits, with a significant reduction in annual energy consumption, around 20% as appropriate, in the energy bill. OFFICES The office building is part of the corporate image of the company and must provide flexibility, high level of comfort environment, safety and adaptability. In order to fit those needs office owners need solutions designed for, operational efficiency and flexible use of space as well as the ability to provide 24 hour security and comfort to the tenant. The IGS Prime modular design allows custom configurations that fit each customer needs, adding flexibility for possible future modifications and updates, reducing associated costs and providing overall management of the building. The IGS Prime allows individual management of office space (control of HVAC, lighting, etc) while the rest of the system controls the common facilities of the building, saving energy by automating certain processes such as presence control, the position of the slats of the blinds or lighting and conditioning of shared spaces.
