Introduction:

Welcome back, the following document will complement this year’s module content and hopefully provide relevant information for you in the future. Following the same format from last year’s notes this document again contains many extra documents and links which will guide you to a successful completion of Building Automation 3.

This semester we will concentrate on the various strategies to control the temperature of water used in buildings and the thermal comport of the building occupants. It is important that we discuss the fundamentals of Analogue to Digital Conversion and, similarly, Digital to Analogue Conversion. During the laboratory time we will focus on creating a user friendly SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system to operate the building control systems and develop a control system

    The client requested that AkijGroup provide direction and oversight for the commissioning of Building X. Akij Group engaged AKH Group to work as part of the commissioning team and provide primary support for the construction phase commissioning. The project incorporated a highly energy efficient design with the goal of obtaining a high performance, low maintenance, low operating cost facility achieved through sustainable and energy efficient design features. The project had two primary commissioning-related goals: 1) to incorporate commissioning to ensure that the facility would operate to meet the energy efficient goals and design, and 2) to serve as a learning experience for the client. This is the first time the client has required commissioning starting in the design phase and continuing through the construction and acceptance phase of a project. Through the lessons learned, the client has gained a better understanding of how to more successfully incorporate commissioning into a construction project.…

    The Automatic Temperature Detecting System is an embedded system application which has the capability of detecting temperature of the environment. The behavior of the system is based on sensor. Based on sensing information the microcontroller will respond. This system works on 5V power supply. Here Microcontroller plays a major role which takes inputs from sensor, process the information and give outputs to LCD. There is only one sensor i.e, Temperature sensor is embedded in the system thereby the microcontroller will respond to input sensors information. Microcontroller works only digital data, but temperature sensor gives analog data, so we need analog to digital convertor. When the system is powered-on, it senses the temperature by using temperature sensor, then microcontroller will displays on 16X2 LCD. Power is provided to the microcontroller by means of voltage regulator (+5v). Corresponding LED is glowed when there is excess temperature.…

    This project is an High precision digital thermometer which indicates the temperature on the seven segment display. It has an resolution of 0.06deg. The 1 wire temperature sensor IC from Maxim semiconductors is used as the sensor. The DS18S20 Digital Thermometer provides 9–bit centigrade temperature measurements and has an alarm function with nonvolatile user-programmable upper and lower trigger points. The DS18S20 communicates over a 1-wire bus that by definition requires only one data line (and ground) for communication with a central microprocessor. It has an operating temperature range of –55°C to +125°C. In this project the negative temperatures are not taken so that it will display the temperature from 0deg to 99.9deg.…
