Building System
Case study

DayaBumi Complex ( Malaysia )

- It has consisted of 35-storey tower and six- storey podium block.
- One of the earliest skyscraper in Kuala Lumpur.
- It was designed in a modern Islamic style.

Building Automation System

- Controlling and monitoring facilities in the building, such as
a) Chiller System,
b) Air Handling Unit ( AHU ) system
c) Lighting Control
d) Electrical System
e) Lift and Escalator Control
f) Wet Fire System
g) Drainage System
h) System Architecture
i) Fan Coil Unit ( FCU )
j) Ventilation Fan
k) Security System
l) Watch Tour
m) Fire Alarm Interface
n) Hot & Cold Water Service

- Using Honeywell Home Software.

- Control in BAS Control Room.

Fire Automation System ( FAS )

- Including Fire Safety System and Lift Safety System.

- FAS is use computerized monitoring system
- Supported by independent cabling network for continuous operation.
- Located at BAS Control Room.
 The tower is divided into four sections for easy monitoring and action system:
a) Fire Control Panel
b) Indicator Panel show the four section
c) Indicator for all floors
d) Computerized control monitor
e) Lift Control Panel
f) Lift Intercom

Building Services

Security Automation System ( SAS )

- The SAS systems is integrated with BAS

- Petronas System Operation Room (PSOR) is the room to control all access
system to the building.
- SAS systems including CCTV, Anti-theft security and Access card system
such as:
a) Air Gate.
b) Access Gate.
c) CCTV System.

Case Study Oversea (The Edge Building,

Amsterdam)
The Edge is located in ZuidAs, Amsterdam and is currently considered the greenest
building in the world, according to the BREEAM green building certification scheme.
The building has been given the highest sustainability score ever awarded: 98.4%.
 
This building proposes a new way of working: using information technology to shape
both the way people work as well as the spaces in which they do it.
 
The Edge uses IoT connectivity to maximise comfort and energy efficiency.

Energy systems

 Heating, Cooling and DHW system

A geothermal system based on aquifer thermal storage which pumps cold/warm
water into/out of the building, depending on the indoor or outdoor climate. The
pumps and the evaporator unit can be powered by fossil or renewable electricity. A
rainwater harvest system can also cover the water needs in the DHW in the toilets.

 Ventilation system
Natural ventilation (automatic openable window panels in the south façade) and
mechanical ventilation (double flow heat exchanger).
Renewable systems (until 100% of total energy consumption): Solar photovoltaic
(5,900 m2 PV panels between on site and offsite) and geothermal (thermal aquifer at
129 m)
