Introduction
This specification has been prepared to ensure that all future developments to the
Imperial College Building Energy Management System are consistent with the
existing installations and that all information is represented in a standard format.
The standards set out in this specification will act as guidance to Imperial College
engineers, external consultants and framework partners on the principal of design,
engineering and installation issues.
Any deviations from this specification must be agreed with the Imperial College
Engineering team and the College Energy Manager.

1.0 General
1.1 Trend Control Systems have been identified by Imperial College as the
standard for the Building Energy Management System (BEMS) in all
buildings serviced by Estates.
The Imperial College Project team and external M&E consultants when
specifying controls on either new build or retrofit installations shall use this
specification.
1.2 The Trend BEMS shall be designed around the IQ2 series controllers and
fully integrated into the College Trend network. The IQ246, and IQL
controllers will not be considered.
Schematic graphic pages shall be provided for each item of plant. These pages
will follow the format detailed later in this specification and will operate from
the existing 963 client server. No other stand alone supervisors will be allowed
to be connected to the network.
Packaged plant controls will also utilise Trend controllers for their final
control. Where Trend controllers cannot be fitted as standard a full read / write
interface shall be provided. Should there be a need to deviate from this, a full
discussion should take place with the College Engineering Team.
25% spare input and 25% spare output capacity shall be allowed to
accommodate additions to the system.
The use of multiplexed input and output modules will not be permitted.
1.3 The controls philosophy, controller strategy design and control panel wiring
diagrams are to be submitted to the College Engineering Team for approval
prior to commencement on site. A copy of the final SET project shall be
supplied to the College Controls Engineer, incorporating the College Controls
4
Engineers comments. This strategy will be used to carry out a scan and
compare on the systems prior to witnessing by the College. It is the controls
specialists responsibility to ensure that any changes to strategies are supplied
to the College Controls Engineer.
1.4 Final commissioning of the control system shall commence when all
associated air and water systems are fully balanced. Details of the
requirements for commissioning the control system are detailed later in this
specification.
1.5 All sensors, variable speed drives and valve actuators are to be manufactured
by Trend Control Systems unless prior approval is obtained from the College
Engineering Team. The only exceptions to this are Steam and MPHW valves
which are to be Honeywell or Siemens manufacture.
2.1 Control panels shall be supplied and manufactured by the controls specialist
selected for the project.
2.2 Control panels shall be divided into two sections, one for power and one for
controls. The controls section shall be lockable using an approved key. The
power section shall be door isolator interlocked. The power section shall not
contain any items of equipment likely to be accessed during normal plant
operation and maintenance.
2.3 Each section of the control panel will incorporate a light arranged to
extinguish on door closure.
2.4 The controls section shall incorporate a 13A. RCD protected socket outlet
supplied from the live side of the isolator to supply power for a laptop
computer.

transformer with a minimum rating of 200 VA.
2.6 Field wiring should be wired individually from the control panel the use of
multi-core cables with joint boxes will not be permitted. Controls related
equipment shall be wired via isolation terminals.

control panel exist, bases with a different pin configuration shall be used for
each voltage present.
2.15 All exposed live electrical terminations and equipment within both power and
control sections shall be shrouded against accidental contact.
2.16 The status of all plant switches on the control panel facia shall be monitored
by a single digital input. This input will be used to indicate on the plant
schematics when any piece of plant is NOT in auto.
2.17 A master plant reset button shall be incorporated on the control panel facia.
The function of this push button is to reset all plant that requires a software
reset. The operation of this button shall have no effect on plant that does not
require a reset.

adjacent to the outstation and not in a position were accidental isolation can
occur.
3.3 Outstations mounted within a control panel shall have all of its input / output
terminals wired to terminal rail located at the top or bottom of the panel. This
is to include the 25% spare capacity and network connections.

3.8 Cable screens shall be grounded at the controller only. The cable should be
made off with ‘Helleman’ type expanding sleeves with the screen sleeved in
green / yellow.
3.9 Field equipment that requires specialised wiring or device set up should be
clearly documented. Devices requiring to be set up using switches, jumpers or
other method, should in addition to the documentation have these details
contained within the device.

Introduction
It is intended that the engineering of the 963 server schematic pages follow a defined
format. This will allow the presentation of the schematic pages to be viewed by a
wide variety of clients in a standard easy to understand format.
The construction of the schematics shall utilise the Imperial College standard
backdrops and bit maps detailed in this appendix. The full version is available on
compact disc and can be requested from the College Controls Engineer. It is intended
that the ‘cd’ will be updated annually to incorporate any additional backdrops or bit
maps that become necessary. It is the controls specialists responsibility to ensure they
are in possession of the current version.
To ensure system security each of the work groups will be assigned a ‘Welcome’ page
containing only the buildings the group should have access too. Access to the
buildings will be by navigation buttons that will then lead to menus. These menus are
detailed within the file structure section of this appendix. The main schematic page
will only contain details of the plant operation, any adjustments will be contained on
an ‘Adjustments’ page.
An ‘About’ button shall provide access to a text file in ‘PDF’ format. The text file
will contain a detailed description of operation of the plant referred to on the
schematic page. It should NOT contain details of the complete project.
