6 .PROPOSED SYSTEM
The main objective of the Building Automation System is to carry out control of HVAC
systems and monitor the Electrical Services, Pumping equipment, water storage and Fire
alarm system in order to reduce the running and energy costs and to improve the quality of
information on Air conditioning, Electrical and other allied systems in the building.
The building automation system shall permit automatic performance of the operations
for starting and stopping various equipment of the air-conditioning and ventilation
system according to the day, date and time. There shall be provision for automatic
start-up of the plant at power return. It shall facilitate running critical equipment
during power failure/crisis and can priority handle between programs.
The dynamic graphic display unit shall present constantly updated dynamic pictures
of the plant and parameters of the equipment status on schematic diagrams and floor
plans to give the operator an overall view. It shall also have the following features:

Alarm Suppression:
The locking-out of alarms from in-operative equipment or during start up.
Parameters Reset:
The adjustment of set point to the highest possible level say for example increasing
the chilled water supply temperature shall still meet the system cooling and
dehumidifying requirements.
Sequencing of Equipment:
The equipment such as Compressor and Pumps shall be operated sequentially
so as to have uniform wear and tear.
Page 17

The system shall record the number of hours of run, the number of hours of break
down, the number of alarm situations that occurred on the Compressors, Pumps
and Air handling units. The time and date of occurrence of the break down,
alarms and the time and date when the equipment in question was put back into
operation shall also be recorded.
System Integrity:
The modularity of the system shall offer a high degree of immunity from various
effects of break down. The failure of any one module shall not affect the
operation of other modules connected to the same controller. The failure of any
one controller shall not affect the operation of other controllers connected to the
same ring. The failure of any one ring shall not affect the operation of other rings.
Inputs and outputs to and from peripheral devices shall be backed up on other
peripherals in the event of failure of one device. In the case of complete failure,
the air-conditioning system can be operated manually.
Chiller Control:
There shall be a Plant Manger for the automation of the Chiller. The integrator of
the Building Automation System shall capture the data from the Chiller plant
manager.

The minimum air changes for the exhaust air system are 8 air changes per hour for Normal, &
30 air changes per hour for Fire Mode running . The fresh air intake shall be through the
ramps and Cutouts available in the basements.
The air from the basement shall be exhausted through the shaft provided within the
Basement. This shaft will be 1.5 mtr above the ground level with louvers provided on either
side of the shaft with the top of the shaft being covered in order to avoid any rain water
pilferage into the shaft.
The system will run at full capacity during Fire and smoke accident which is possible by
interlocking the Exhaust fan/ PLC panel with the fire panel.
It has been planned to ventilate the entire basement through available ramps & only forced

exhaust system is envisaged for the above said purpose. After getting signal from Fire Alarm
CO sensor will trigger the fan to run . Fans can withstand 250 degree C for 2 hours.
CO Sensor for ducted & ductless system will shown in the drawing , (Based on the CFD
analysis Co sensor to be located – CFD analysis will be under vendor scope of work)
The above system can be done with the jet vent system and ducted system. During our
further study we shall bring our recommendation after comparing both the systems.
In the event of fire, to extract the smoke at a faster rate, fans shall be operated at maximum
speed.
Fresh air intake basement should be provided with 2.5 % of openings which includes the
openings of stair case and the ramps

Dis-Advantages
First cost of the system is marginally more compared to ducted system (In some
cases it is almost equal to cost of ducted system)
RECOMMENDATION
Following are the Benefits of Jet Fan over Ducted system which concludes the
recommendation of the system.
Though the initial investment cost in case of Ducted system is less, the operational cost
is high compared to the jet fan system
Hassle free basement in case of Jet Fan system since there is no huge duct running
across the basement and hence better height available for other Services to run in the
basement.
Reduces obstructions within the car park, potentially increasing space for parking/building
rental and making the installation of other services easier.
The elimination of ductwork from the car park significantly reduces system resistance.
Main fans can therefore, be selected at lower speed reducing absorbed power, running cost
and noise levels.
The effectiveness of the ventilation system is analyzed and optimized using CFD,
providing improved operation for the control of pollution and smoke.
Monitoring of air quality (pollution levels) means that the ventilation system is only
operated on demand, further reducing absorbed power.
