- 12. 00012 Building Control Transformation – Benefits of System Integration Source: LONMARK International Value of intelligent Building Control Network Control systems are more than a collection of subsystems that interact to sense, monitor, or control. Integrating various subsystem components reduces energy demand, increases responsiveness, and reduces overall system cost as well as complexity. Stand-alone, single-source, locked-in system designs are out, multi-vendor, fully integrated, fair-bid contracts of open systems are in. Most sought-after benefits are (1) open procurement, (2) flexibility, (3) future-proofing, (4) sustainable design.

- 20. 00020 Building Control Transformation – Object-Oriented Building Control Network Configuration Model – Development, Enhancement, Admin Building Control Network Configuration Modeling Agile Development 1. C, Java, C++ software development kits 2. Integrated object lifecycle management 3. Multi-tier (embedded, client/server, app server, cloud) 4. On the fly schema versioning Enhancement In the event of a major release with new features, capabilities and a new database schema, the built-in tools of the database automatically migrate the installed customer database, with no database or programming expertise required by the customer or service partner. Administration 1. Object-oriented database is embedded for seamless deployment. 2. It requires no database tools or administration. 3. It has an automatic schema modification and data migration capability which makes it easy to enhance/evolve the control network.
