Building Automation System for World Academy School Project

CE 2.1 Project Information
Name of the project: World Academy School Project
Location of the project: King Abdullah Economic City
Project Duration: August of 2017 to September of 2018
Contractor: IHCC
Role and Designation during the time: Developer of the Project and Team Member
CE 2.2 Project Background
CE 2.2.1 Characteristics of the project
Building automation consists of the entire control or management of an entire building
installation that includes heating, security equipment, light and air conditioning. The major
objective is reduction of resource consumption, increment of safety and security and even
increasing comfort of people. A comprehensive and largely distributed control software is
require for making use of the entire equipment. While working with IHCC contractor, I got the
opportunity to be a part of a noteworthy project in professional career. The main scope of this
project was designing a complete building based automation system majorly for the power
consumption for the purpose of controlling a school, called World Academy School in King
Abdullah Economic City. I had to make the school automated as well as managed by the
presence detectors that are located in each room and corridor within the distance of 10Km in
between each presence detector. For each and every classroom, I considered 3 distinctive
lighting circuits that would be managed with 3 different levels of flux. I have used a presence

detector since it comprises of an IR sensor to measure the flux level within a room. This school
comprises of three floors, where the ground floor and first floor are of same size, whereas second
floor is comparatively smaller in size. Hence, in the project, I have successfully designed a
building automation system in World Academy School for controlling power consumption after
considering each and every technical specification.
CE 2.2.2 Objectives developed for the project
I have maintained a proper sequential manner in my project of designing automation
control system in World Academy School and have followed all types of standards and
specifications. Thus, for the purpose of completing this project successfully and then simulating
and evaluating the respective performances of designing and fabrication, I have developed these
below provided objectives:
 To provide a compact design for building automation system in World Academy School.
 To fulfill every requirement of the client.
 To provide a design for the layout that describes SLD, location of every presence detector
sensor and distribution of electric panels that comprise of the controllers.
 To draw designs of electric panel with two proper and detailed schematic diagrams of
240 V as well as 30 V KNX i-bus distribution.
 To provide supervisions to fabrication of panel and trouble shooting the respective
electric panel.
 To program all applications in devices for ensuring efficient functionalities of the
devices.
 To use CAN for completing the entire network.

 To follow a sequential manner in the project so that execution is much easier in
comparison to the others.
 To contrast and analyze my experimental results with my evaluated theoretical outcomes
of the project.
CE 2.2.3 My area of work
Since I had experience in core automation and control engineering projects and I have
executed several similar projects beforehand, I was appointed as the developer of project and a
responsible team member by my project supervisor. I have previously led project teams and
hence my supervisor had confidence upon me that I will not confront any type of complexity
while project execution with my team. Designing projects is my strength and thus I took the
responsibility of proposing a complete design to the automation system. Moreover, with the ease
of using my intellect, logical reasoning and automation engineering skills, I was able to solve
every technical difficulty faced in this work.
