An Exploration of System Architecture on Integrating Building Management System in High-Rise Building

Abstract

High-rise building is bloomed into market with a series of evolved requirements. Recently, it is of great interest to adopt the Integrating Building Management System (IBMS) in high-rise buildings. However, the current IBMS architecture solution is far from the satisfaction of performance in integrat- ing level. In the past decade, various system integrations and collaboration technologies have been developed and deployed to application domains. In this paper, we address system sensitive problems and architecture bottlenecks by observing current architectures. We provide a generic set of solutions to support the data access flow, use of information, business systems and collaborative creation. This paper presents a typical scenario for potential system architecture in high-rise building. In this paper, a discovery and analysis of the state-of-art in IBMS solutions is presented. At the same time, we conducted a series of onsite investigations for system architecture usage. It is envisaged that this research will give the readers insights into the critical concepts and issues for consideration in designing the systems in this area.
