Executive summary

Smart buildings help their owners to achieve their goals by optimising the

capability of all equipment and systems across the whole business.

Fully interoperable systems in buildings can perform better, cost less to maintain

and have a smaller environmental impact than individual utilities and

communication systems.

Smart buildings contribute to energy savings and achieving sustainability goals,

they also offer the potential to extend the life of equipment and impact on the

security and safety of buildings and their occupants.

The global market value of the Low Carbon and Environmental Goods and

Services (LCEGS) sector is 3,046 billion, of which the UK accounts for 3.5%.

The global market is forecast to grow by 45% from 2007/8 to 2014/15, with a

potential global market value of 4,417 billion - an increase of 1,371 billion.

The five largest country markets are: USA, China, Japan, India and Germany

Positive growth of over 4.5% per year is forecast across all UK LCEGS

industries.

Market growth in the UK Renewable Energy and the Emerging Low Carbon

sector is likely to be sustained throughout and beyond the current economic

downturn, with these sectors forecast to experience much higher long-term

growth rates in comparison to the traditional environmental sector. This will

create new domestic and international opportunities for both new and existing UKcompanies.

The value of the market to the South West region is more than 8 billion with

more than 4,000 companies operating in the sector.

Large scale development of smart buildings is being hampered by an insufficient

grasp of the technologies by professionals and a lack of technical standards and

communications protocols.

ICT products and solutions that are key to the success of smart buildings will be

design and simulation tools, building automation, control and management

systems, smart metering, smart grids, user-awareness tools and improvements ininteroperability and standards.

Opportunities related to these are also presented at a service level.

Bristol is considered well placed to develop smart applications. The Bristol Smart

City Programme supports this.

2. Sector Context

Buildings industry

According to the European Unions Directive on Energy Performance of Buildings

(2002/91/EC), buildings account for more than 40% of energy consumption in

Europe. This is due to heating, cooling and lighting operations within buildings.

Furthermore, buildings are responsible for the largest source of CO2 emissions (36%)

in the EU. Improving the energy performance of buildings is, therefore, key to

achieving the EU Climate and Energy objectives1.

The construction sector is one of Europes largest industries, including building, civil

engineering, demolition and maintenance industries. Construction, operation and

maintenance of facilities is about 20% of GNP in industrialised countries and life

cycle costs are dominated by operation and maintenance while design and

construction are less than 25%. The sector has typically been characterised by

many small enterprises and high labour intensity, being also highly dependent on

public regulations and public investments. Around 40% of construction turnover is in

public sector contracts.

In general, the industry has been slow to adopt practices that could improve their

energy efficiencies. Factors affecting this include a lack of incentives for owners,

insufficient demand from tenants and the expense associated with retrofitting. Added

to this is the difficulty in centralising and managing data found within buildingequipment. Typically, commercial buildings have a wide range of technology and

communication devices that have been installed ad hoc over time. These include

security devices, computer/internet connections, heating and cooling systems, and

lighting, all operating on different protocol standards. Monitoring energy usage and

device performance in this environment is extremely difficult. Added to this is the fact

that nobody typically owns a buildings system data, nor is anyone tasked with

using it to drive building-management efficiencies. Compounding this lack of

incentive to improve energy efficiency is a lack of accountability among a buildings

owner, operator and tenants.

Smart Buildings

ICT has a powerful role to play in supporting the development of energy efficient,

smart buildings. A definition of a smart or intelligent building is one in which the

building fabric, space, services and information systems can respond in an efficient

manner to the initial and changing demands of the owner, the occupier, and the

environment2. ICT now has the capability to optimise systems automatically in real

120% reduction in greenhouse gases emissions by 2020 and a 20% reduction in energy

consumption by 2020.2

As defined by the civil engineering and architectural firm Arup.

time. It is ubiquitous, with the UK communications infrastructure reaching almost

100% for landline, broadband, mobile phone and GPS coverage. User interfaces are

continually improving and multiple systems are able to interact more effectively than

ever.

ICT can enable building operators to become more data driven by enabling different

devices to communicate with each other. This can inform them when preventive

maintenance should be carried out and identifies operational inefficiencies that need

action. It can be gathered remotely from sensors, meters, lighting, heaters and other

equipment. Information can also be scaled so that many buildings can be managed

through a web interface from one point at the same time, providing the opportunity to

run them more efficiently.

The merging and translating of building data from a wide range of automated

systems into a common platform to allow analysis and reporting enables managers tosee a bigger picture of their organisation and allows for more informed decision-

making. Web-based dashboard displays allow managers to see a snapshot of

information on issues such as high energy use or abnormal maintenance costs and

other issues that need to be addressed promptly. Truly smart systems tap into their

shared intelligence in order to work without the need for human intervention to predict

difficulties and avert them in many cases.

Enabling buildings to be smarter on a continuous basis could provide significant and

sustainable cost savings. A study by The Climate Group3 estimates that ICT has the

potential to reduce global energy consumption from all sectors by about 15% by2020. It suggests that the biggest impact can be made by ICT tools for the

improvement of energy efficiency in buildings at the design phase and through smart

building management systems.

Although 85% of total energy consumption occurs in the operation phase of a

building, opportunities exist to reduce consumption throughout the whole construction

product life cycle. The design phase offers opportunities to test alternative solutions

to optimise energy efficiency levels. The support phase once a building is up

presents opportunities to support more efficient operation through supervising

networked intelligent and control devices and systems.

Regulation and Incentives

The EU Directive on Energy Performance of Buildings (2002/91/EC) is the main

legislative instrument at EU level to achieve improved energy performance in

buildings. Under this Directive, the Member States must apply minimum

requirements in the energy performance of new and existing buildings, ensure thecertification of their energy performance and are required to inspect boilers and air

conditioning systems in buildings regularly. The Directive introduces a general

framework for a methodology to calculate the energy performance of buildings. Data

produced by the Directive will be useful for the sector, enabling the identification of

inefficiencies, best practices and best opportunities. This can be used by the ICT

sector to design and deliver appropriate tools and products.

Within the UK, domestic and business users are becoming more and more aware of

environmental issues and how their buildings impact on these. This is evident in

initiatives to improve insulation in homes and buildings, improve monitoring andcontrol of energy performance and install renewable energy sources such as solar

panels and wind turbines. This move is supported by a combination of legislation

and incentives.

The Renewables Obligation (RO) seeks to incentivise directly early

commercialisation of emerging energy technologies, helping to further technological

development and exploit economies of scale, reducing barriers to entry.

The UK Innovation Fund is based on an investment of 150 million from the

Government with additional private sector to grow the fund to 1 billion over 10years. It supports investment in technology-based industries that will be important for

the UKs future prosperity.

Barriers and Challenges

Although much of the technology exists to build smart buildings, there are a number

of reasons why they are not being built in any large scale way already:

Key professions do not have a sufficient grasp of smart technologies (i.e.

architects, planners, engineers, builders) and need to work very closely toachieve real results;

It is difficult to make a business case based on the data available from the

disparate small scale examples that exist;

It is difficult to retrofit applications;

Lack of technical standards;

Lack of communication protocols.

3. Global, UK and Regional Markets

Global market size, value and growth forecast

Market data relating to smart buildings is not yet very comprehensive as the market

is still young. However, building technologies and energy management are sectors

that are assessed and can provide some insight. The diagram below shows a high

level view of some of the key components of both sectors. Please refer to the

appendix for more detail on the activities and products that fall within these

components.

Building technologies and energy management are considered emerging low carbonactivities within the broader Low Carbon and Environmental Goods and Services

(LCEGS) sector. Alongside other emerging low carbon activities (such as reduced

emissions from within the transport and construction sectors, nuclear energy, energy

management, carbon capture and storage and carbon finance), the LCEGS sector

encompasses traditional environmental activities and renewable energy

technologies.

Just under a third (31%) of overall activity in this sector is in manufacturing. Given

the size of the LCEGS sector and its growth rate in both domestic and global

markets, environmental activities offer an attractive opportunity for the UKs

manufacturing base to exploit current and emerging technologies.

The overall growth forecast across the UK LCEGS sector is 4.7% for 2009/10,

increasing to 6.10% by 2014. The emerging low carbon industries sector is predicted

to grow an average of 5% a year in this time. Even allowing for a further economic

slowdown, the UK LGEGS sector could increase in value by up to 48 billion in the

eight years to 2015, with growth totalling 45%. The relatively high growth forecast for

the LCEGS sector, in spite of the current economic downturn, creates new domestic

and international opportunities for new and existing UK companies.

4. Subsectors / Technical areas

Domestic and commercial buildings

The majority of energy consumption in domestic building is due to space and water

heating. The consumption of lighting and appliances is rising rapidly, particularly due

to the ever-increasing number of electrical gadgets in homes. This is similar to the

situation in commercial buildings, although the share of lighting and appliance

consumption is higher than in domestic buildings due to greater utilisation of ICT

equipment. It is estimated that commercial buildings account for about 33% of

energy demand and domestic buildings for around 67%.

ICT products and solutions have a role to play throughout the life cycle of smart

buildings. Their application has the potential to improve energy efficiency in the

following key areas:

1. Design and simulation tools

ICT tools can be applied at any stage throughout the entire life of a building design

stage. Tools can be used to design and plan buildings that fit within the

environments in which they are built and to use local sources of energy. Information

models based on information from monitors and sensors can allow more accurate

measurement of energy usage, system status and equipment conditions during a

buildings operational life. Not only does this allow the buildings themselves to adapt

to varying conditions but it also gives customers better information on their choicesand offers them better opportunities to integrate their demands.

2. Building automation, control and management systems

These are systems that can adapt the operation of the building (domestic or

commercial) according to the external environment and the needs of its users.

Automation and control systems enable the integrated interaction of a number of

technological elements such as heating, ventilation, air conditioning, lighting, safety

equipment etc. These need to be easy to customise and configure and are applied

through technologies such as nanotechnologies, sensors, wireless communicationsand data processing. These technologies are now capable of embedding ambient

intelligence in buildings so that they can detect user presence in a space and

personalise the environment to the users preferences lighting, temperature, etc.

Building management systems can contribute significantly to reducing energy

consumption and can range in complexity from heating control systems to those that

integrate multiple areas.

In addition, building management systems can connect smart buildings with

neighbouring buildings in order to share or trade the energy they produce and feed

any excess into grids.


15/23

3. Smart Metering

Smart metering systems enable individual users to see the detail of their

consumption (of both electricity and gas) and adopt appropriate measures for

energy saving. Through two-way communication with utility companies they offer

the potential for smart applications to take themselves off the grid when there is a

shortage of electricity, thereby managing peaks in demand more effectively. The

UK is aiming for 100% roll out of smart metering by 2019. Italy already has a

very advanced deployment, with the energy provider Enel claiming to have 32

million customers with smart meters.

Advanced metering infrastructure could provide the framework for joint business

models among energy utilities, telecoms operators and building management

companies.

4. Smart Grids

Smart grids aim to predict and respond to the behaviour and demands of

consumers and suppliers by using smart meters with digital monitoring and

management technologies. A number of major smart grid trials are currently

taking place in Singapore, Malaga, Malta and South Korea. There is no UK

regulation yet in relation to smart grids but funding is available for major trials

though the Low Carbon Networks Fund run by Ofgem.

The potential decarbonisation of the grid so that electricity is produced entirely

from zero-carbon sources would present opportunities for new technologies,

including energy management systems. This is likely to have an impact first on

larger buildings and later on domestic buildings.

5. User-awareness tools

Tools that feed back information to users on real time energy consumption can

encourage them to change behaviour in order to reduce energy consumption. It

is important that this information is targeted to their requirements and appropriate

to the degree of urgency. In cases where smart meters are already in use, a

reduction in consumption of around 10% is seen. In addition to devices that can

be easily accessed in the home, dashboard displays for public buildings are likely

to become more commonly seen.

6. Interoperability and standards

The most significant weakness in current control systems is that separate

controllers are used for each application. They operate separately, withoutexchanging information. This means that the building they are working in is in


16/23

16

effect a series of sub-systems rather than being considered holistically. This

leads to sub-optimal results in terms of energy flow, comfort, cost and control.

Clearly, interoperable control systems, governing all HVAC (heating, ventilation

and air conditioning), lighting and other electrical applications in the buildingwould optimise energy usage. A truly interoperable system would allow owners,

operators, designers, constructors, regulators and other stakeholders to share,

communicate, apply and maintain information about their buildings facilities.

However, with different sub-systems produced by a range of manufacturers,

installed by different companies and without any standardisation for interfaces

and communication, truly interoperable systems are still some way off. A new set

of protocols dedicated to wireless communications in particular is required.

Interoperability also extends to smart homes in which control systems are

interoperable with consumer electronic appliances, communication devices andapplications in the home in order to provide consumers with greater flexibility.

5. Opportunities

National and international environmental targets are likely to focus the public and

investment spotlight on low carbon sector technologies and performance. At the

same time rising energy demand from developing nations and fluctuating energy

prices are likely to increase the international focus on energy security and encourage

continued investment in new energy technologies.

The European Commission identifies a number of areas for research and

development in relation to environmental efficiency and smart buildings technology.

These are indicators of where the opportunities lie in terms of investment.

Intelligent objects embedded systems able to manage appropriate protocols

in order to acquire and supply information;

Communications allowing all intelligent objects (sensors, actuators etc) to

communicate between themselves and over the network, based on standardised,

open protocols;

Smart Building Management Systems (BMS) / Energy Control Management

Systems (ECMS) new systems characterised by improved features, the ability

to communicate by embedding appropriate tags and the ability to monitor

complex assembling of products and equipment in the built environment. BMS

and ECMS that allow dynamic control and (re-) configuration of devices in order

to respond to the environment or changes in strategy. BMS and ECMS that are

the foundations of self-configuring home and building systems which learn fromtheir own and user behaviour and are able to adapt to new situations;

Multimodal interactive interfaces making the in-house network as simple to

use as possible, without overloading personal communication devices

unnecessarily.

These areas for research are likely to build on the following existing and cutting edge

technologies:

Wired and wireless sensors currently being investigated in the built

environment;

Wireless and wireline connection models and protocols still under

development;

Proprietary platforms and networks currently mostly experimental;

Dumb legacy services specialised / dedicated services deployed without

interoperability between services;

Multimodal context-aware interfaces/devices few intelligent objects that

are not intrusive and offer ability to integrate seamlessly.

In addition to these technical areas, opportunities lie at a service level:


18/23

18

Impact analysis of the potential impacts of ICT based solutions on energy

efficiency;

Creation of energy saving business models supported by ICT;

Energy services. Energy service companies could offer a range of services toenergy users such as operation and maintenance of installations, energy supply,

facility management (including technical, cleaning, safety and security) and

energy management including energy audits, consulting, demand monitoring and

management.

Local building energy trading could have a profound impact on the way energy

is generated and distributed

Remote operational services. This is an area in which telecoms providers could

have an important role to play. Energy-efficiency applications using multimodal

interactive interfaces (TV, PC, mobile) could provide users with information such

as smart metering details, appliance-specific real-time power consumption and

temperature monitoring. They could also supply smart metering services for

utility companies, maintenance of building management systems and other

services like remote monitoring, surveillance and management/control of

applications. Telecoms providers could also play a role in providing secure

remote access to smart homes and buildings. The same technology could

enable people to manage their holiday homes remotely. It could equally enable

technicians to manage a large number of buildings from a central location.

Engineering customised solutions: services in integrating numerous products

from design to operation and maintenance phases.

Smart City Bristol an opportunity in the region

Opportunities also exist at a very local level. Bristol has a target of reducing CO2

emissions by 40% by 2020. It has also set itself the objective of becoming one of the

top 20 European cities by 2020. As a part of this, its Smart City Programme was

launched in March 2011 with the assistance of funding from the UK Department for

Energy and Climate Change. The City Council has also received funding in excess

of 300,000 from the EU. This is to fund two projects as part of the Smart City

Programme starting in 2012.

The first project will develop a model to monitor energy usage within public buildings

such as schools. The Council will be working in partnership with a British systems

manufacturer and over 30 partners across Europe, including IBM and CISCO. The

second project will support the further implementation of electric vehicles in Bristol

through the development of web-based tools to highlight important information for

electric vehicle users such as charging locations and links to public transport options.

19/23

19

A recent study commissioned by the City Council examines how to transform Bristol

into a Smart City5. This study looks into the overlap between green and smart

issues with an emphasis on opportunities to reduce carbon emissions. It suggests

that by applying the criteria used in The Climate Groups Smart 2020 report6

findings, Bristol has the potential to make energy efficiency savings of around 53

million by 2020. Leading smart cities are identified in the study as including SanFrancisco, Seoul, Helsinki, Malaga and Amsterdam.

The study recommends three key areas as a focus for Bristols smart city work:

smart grids and meters,

smart transport and

smart data.

It suggests a roadmap to include:Identifying the location of existing smart meters in the city and aiming for 100%

coverage by 2020;

Extending the number of smart buildings in Bristol. The flagship smart building in

Bristol is the new Environment Agency building;

Installing external smart performance displays (dashboards) and internet

enabled building management systems for all larger buildings in order to raise

awareness and encourage behaviour change;

Creating smart data sources and a data consolidation platform;

Establishing a real time open data portal and smart phone applications;

Establishing a city-wide dashboard by 2015.

A focus on implementing smart city policies in Bristol would, naturally, provide

opportunities for large, small and medium sized businesses in the region. This

expertise could in turn be applied to the market as it develops nationally and globally.

Bristol is considered well placed to develop smart applications with its strong

technical, academic and cultural base. Currently, though, there is limited

implementation of smart data applications in the city.

The study estimates that the period for payback on new build smart buildings is less

than four years. It anticipates that Bristol can achieve its buildings related emissions

reductions by being ahead of national averages with regard to building insulation,

installed renewable energy and smart energy management systems for large

buildings. Smart grid technologies would be integral to smart buildings.
