building cloud connections
When we started AutomatedBuildings.com
we joked that our purpose was to "join the
dots" of our Building Automation
industry...the dot coms, the dot org etc .
Eleven years later all these connected dots
to our web site have led to the new focus
of building cloud connections.
Wisdom from our columnist Toby
Only the core control processes are on the ground. For
buildings, only the core processes, those elements on
the traditional low voltage protocols such as BACnet and
LON, are on the ground.
Enterprise energy monitoring and building control, then,
are in the low lying cumulus clouds. A well architected
system does not put the EMCS in the center of any
control loops.
TCP/IP is by design a non-deterministic protocol, meaning
it does not belong inside a control loop. Anything off the
ground is in the clouds. Anything in the clouds should
interact using internet protocols.
Wisdom from our columnist Toby
The middle tier of stratus clouds is outside Facilities
Operations and hosted in the wider enterprise ie room
schedules and head counts for every classroom
Building analytics should move up into the highest clouds,
with the highest expertise.
The remotest services all belong in the Cirrus clouds.
Demand/Response, Energy Markets, third party
maintenance, all are top tier cloud services.
Wisdom from our columnist Toby
Keep some clouds close to you, ones in which fast response
and control are the most important. Let some clouds
drift up into the atmosphere, where forces out of your
control may determine their performance and availability,
but where superior resources or specialize knowledge
can be purchased. And put services where enterprise
identity and line of business interaction are the most
important in the stratus layer.
Just remember, changing business conditions can move any
cloud up or down. The protocol for communication to
any cloud layer should be the same; internet ready,
secured, and standards based, ready for e-commerce.
Nothing but web services belongs anywhere in the
clouds.

Smart Thermostat owners can now use an iPhone or iPod touch to remotely
adjust the thermostat’s temperature, schedule or update a vacation event,
change the system and/or fan operating settings and receive alerts.
This application converts the screen of the device to a clone of the Smart
Thermostat interface.
