1. UTT Guidelines regarding Connection to the Command
Control Center for Facilities Management
1.1. Introduction
Modern automation systems provide real-time monitoring and control of building

facilities. In order to manage building systems efficiently, a wide variety of building-
related information needs to be collected, stored and analyzed. As the demands on
building facilities and services have increased, the use of distributed, web-server type
open building servers are used for multi building monitoring & control.
With the vision of providing quality services, UTT intends to use the IP backbone of the
development to centrally monitor & control all buildings within Reem Island. The
intention is to create a Command Control Centre (CCC), which will be used to support
the Facility Managers within the Reem Island development.
Facilities Managers will be able to receive alarms and other valuable data to provide
efficient and cost effective maintenance and energy management services to the
customers using the CCC
In order to collect the data from the building, each building shall be equipped with a
Building Data Server (BDS) which will be part of the IP backbone infrastructure being
installed throughout Reem Island. The BDS will be interfaced with all the equipment
and services in the building such as HVAC, Fire Alarm, Security and Energy
Monitoring to collect alarms and data.
The BDS shall be able to communicate in all industry standard protocols such as
BACnet, Lonworks, OPC, Modbus, EIB, SNMP and web services to provide an open
and cost effective interface between the building and the UTT IP backbone
infrastructure.
From the central CCC it shall be possible to get a complete view of all the connected
buildings, get summary of data, get alarms & view all operating parameters relating to
life safety, energy consumption and key parameters which are vital to maintain the
conditions in the building.

1.2. Overview
This section discusses the general design aspect of the building systems for residential
towers, shopping malls and hotels. The various steps to be followed at the design stage
to ensure compatibility in connecting to the UTT IP backbone and capturing the data
from all the facilities and transmitting to the CCC.
The building control systems for residential towers, shopping malls and hotels are
designed to monitor & control the various electro-mechanical services of the building.
The system consists of outstation wired to various equipments and panels in the
building. Each outstation will have its own microprocessor based control system.
Control system vendors embed industry standard protocols such as BACnet,
Lonworks, Modbus, OPC, EIB into their products and also enable them to be
connected to IP based networks.
The building control systems are connected to the Building Data Server over Ethernet
TCP/IP. The Building Data Server which is part of the UTT IP backbone infrastructure
fully supports all open protocols such as BACnet (IP and MSTP), Lonworks, Modbus
(TCP and RTU), EIB, OPC and Web Services. Therefore it is necessary to specify that
all building control systems support industry standard Open Protocols such as but
not limited to the above.
The Building Data Server is protocol agnostic and vendor neutral allowing the
developer or consultant to select a vendor of their choice.
Chillers shall be selected with a gateway which is compatible with any of the above
mentioned protocol. All the necessary hardware and software to provide the open
protocol interface shall be provided by the chiller manufacturer and should be
included in chiller manufacturer’s scope of supply.
Generators shall also be provided with a suitable open protocol interface to enable
connection to the BDS. The necessary hardware and software to provide the open
protocol interface to the BDS shall be provided by the Generator Manufacturer as part
of their scope of supply.
5
The same shall apply for systems such as central battery emergency lighting systems,
Access Control, Electrical Switch Gear, BTU Metering, Kwh metering. All the above
systems shall comply with one of the open protocol standard.

2.1. Smart Home
Smart Home Systems provided by Ubiquitous Telecommunication Technologies

(UTT) are based on Centralized DIN System Design where load dimming and
switching control will be placed in central enclosures inside mechanical rooms or
electrical closets and receives AC wiring directly from breaker panel (Power
Distribution Board). In the apartment scenario, the enclosure will be placed near to
PDB. With this design, traditional toggle switches to control each light or load will be
eliminated. Instead, all loads are controlled using programmable low voltage
keypads and IP enabled Touch Panels.
The centralized Smart Home Enclosure is interconnected with communication
bus cable, and controls Lights, Fans, Motors, HVAC, Security, Audio/Video
Equipment, Internet Cameras, Shades, Drapes, Skylights, Awnings, Shutters,
Pool Equipment…etc as shown in figure 2.1.

2.2. Smart Home Ready
Similar to Smart Home Guidelines, all loads shall be connected through the Smart
Home Enclosure. However, no DIN Dimmer or Relay stations will be plugged to the
Enclosure. Terminal blocks (connectors) will be plugged in, in order to close the
circuit and pass the current.
The difference in this case compared to the standard electrical connection is that,
instead of connecting the load from the Distribution Board Directly, it will pass
through Smart Home Enclosure first. For instance, the line voltages (breakers) will
be connected from the PDB to the Smart Home Enclosure then from Smart Home
Enclosure to the conventional switch and then to the load. Thus, when upgrading
the home to a Smart Home, the conventional switch will be removed and its wires
will be connected together in the back box.
Smart Home Ready System consists of:
a) Fixing the smart home enclosure and terminating the lightings’ cables into it
through the terminal blocks (connectors) as mentioned in sections 2.2.1-2.2.3.
The terminal blocks will be used instead of the DIN Dimmer station, Relay
station, and controller.
b) Smart Home Keypad’s provision as mentioned in section 2.2.4 and pulling the
smart low voltage cable to each keypad’s back box.
c) Thermostat provision as mentioned in section 2.2.5.
d) Shades and Curtain Control provision as mentioned in section 2.2.6.
e) Motion sensor provision in all bathrooms as mentioned in section 2.2.7
f) EP provision as mentioned in section 2.2.8.
g) Access control system provision as mentioned in section 2.2.9.
h) A/V provision as mentioned in section 2.2.10.
i) The back boxes should be installed and the necessary cables should be pulled for
items b to h mentioned above.

2.2.13. Penthouse & Town House.
 For a penthouse or town house consisting of a lower floor & upper floor, sections
2.2.1 to 2.2.12 are applied; however, the following should be taken into
considerations for:
o Section 2.2.1, a secondary smart home enclosure should be fixed at the upper
floor next to the upper floor PDB. Also, inside a conduit two No. of smart LV cable
should be extended from the secondary smart home enclosure to the smart
enclosure located at the lower floor (which is called Master enclosure).
o Section 2.2.3, all the lighting loads, exhaust fans, and water heaters of the upper
floor should be connected to the secondary smart home enclosure. Also, all the
loads in this floor will be labeled as 201 to 232.
o Sections 2.2.4, the smart LV cable, station bus, of the upper floor keypads should
be extended directly to the master smart home enclosure located at the lower
floor not to the secondary enclosure.
o Sections 2.2.5, the CAT-6 cables of the upper floor thermostats should be
extended to the ONU located at the lower floor since only 1 ONU will be installed
in the home.
o Section 2.2.6, the CAT-6 cables of the upper floor curtains should be extended to
a junction box located at the upper floor. The size of the box should be according
to the number of LVRS that will be installed. Also, the smart LV cable should be
extended to this box.
o Section 2.2.9, if the door of the upper floor is required to be connected to the
system, the maximum distance between the controller in ONU to the reader of
that door should not exceed 15m.
