 CONTROL ROOM.

 A control room, operations center, or

operations control center (OCC) is a room
serving as a central space where a large
physical facility or physically dispersed
service can be monitored and controlled.
 A control room will often be part of a
larger command center.
 What is a Control Room Operator?

• Control Room Operators work in the control rooms of large plants, in

particular power plants, where they monitor all of the operations of the
plants to ensure that everything is working properly.
• Control Room Operators control the creation and flow of electricity
from power plants to businesses, homes and factories.
• Control Room Operators work at all kinds of power plants, including
coal, gas, nuclear, hydroelectric, and wind and solar power.
 Control Room Operator Duties and
Responsibilities.
 In order to monitor and maintain the operations of a power plant, Control Room Operators must carry out a large range of
duties.
Monitor Plant Operations
 They watch closely to identify any abnormal operating and equipment conditions.
Fix Problems-
 When something abnormal is detected, the Control Room Operators troubleshoots and repairs the electrical and
mechanical equipment to get everything back on track to minimize safety risks and economic losses.
Track and Log Operational Systems –
 The Control Room Operators is responsible for tracking and recording the status of the operational system using
applicable journals and control system tools.
Make Recommendations - From their vantage point, Control Room Operators are in a great position to identify and
recommend changes to improve overall plant reliability, performance and output.
Monitor Emissions- An important duty of the Control Room Operator is to monitor the operations.
Different Applications | Same Considerations
 Design parameters:-
 CONTROL ROOMS.

 There are many buildings with specialized

application, like, data center, hospital and
underground metro station; where requirement for
these varies from a normal comfort application
and hence these need to be treated differently.
 The requirements for such specialized applications
have been given below
 Educational Institute.

 These facilities have two distinct occupant zones:

 the floor level, where younger children play, and normal adult height, for the teachers.
 The administrative and teachers offices shall be considered as a separate zone. Special
consideration shall be given to operating schedule for setback.  Supply air outlets should
be positioned to avoid drafts. Proper ventilation and exhaust shall be provided for
controlling odors and to prevent the spread of diseases.
 University and college campus having large diversity in cooling/heating loads, should be
provided with large central utility plant or smaller mechanical rooms serving a cluster of
buildings.  The central utility plant may supply chilled/hot water. The designer should
consider site constraints, including geographic location.
 In addition to accommodating the mechanical and electrical equipment, central utility plant
may also house engineering, operation and maintenance personnel. A central control room
shall be provided for energy monitoring.
Health care facility/Hospital.

  Some of the spaces in health care facilities require

specific conditions of temperature, relative
humidity,pressure differential with respect to
adjacent spaces and cleanliness levels as well as
low noise.
 When lower temperatures are desired in
comparison to general areas, multiple design
philosophies are available
 Data centers.

 The occupant load in data centers is nearly 1 or 2 percent

of total load, rest is primarily server/equipment load.
Therefore, in this type of building, the majority of load is
sensible load. It is critical to maintain the operating
conditions of server/equipment for their safe and
consistent operation at lowest operating cost.
 Design needs should be identified after working closely
with architect, equipment/server manufacturer and HVAC
consultan
  Car parking control room Car parking.

 A car park can be one of buildings busiest and most vulnerable areas. Parking facilities can offer criminals the
opportunities to commit personal and property crime without detection. Enhanced security operations in parking areas
are supported by intercom systems, emergency phones at strategic locations, duress alarms, CCTV, scream alert
detectors and motion detectors in stairwells.
 1) Duress/panic alarm stations — Duress or panic alarms can be placed at strategic locations to enhance public/tenant
safety. When the emergency button is activated, the alarm will alert the operator in the control room and emit an
audible alarm and/or strobe light.
 2) CCTV— The placement of cameras shall be done to provide optimum surveillance in all directions including all
entry/exit points and cover all dark comers.
 3) Security>patrols — The guard force shall conduct regular patrols of the all car¬ parking areas. Installing a guard
tour System can enhance patrol coverage and effectiveness.
 4) Roller shutters — Roller shutters can be installed at all vehicle entry points to secure the area when the
circumstances dictate
 Requirement.

In order to provide an excellent security service following security procedures should be adhered to across all buildings and SOPs
as per the organization’s requirement should be formulated to standardize the processes:
 a) Access control;
 b) Identification badge;
 c) Administration of locks and keys;
 d) Sites’ opening and closing procedures;
 e) Security risk, threat and violation;
 f) Card access system;
 g) Search procedures;
 h) Managing the security control room;
 j) Incident management and investigation;
 k) Reporting of security incidents and losses;

Underground metro station

There are two challenges to be dealt with at underground

metro station:
1) Tunnel air temperature which increases due to the
movement of metro train in tunnel.
2) 2) Comfort condition at platform and concourse due
to sudden high passengers load and metro movement
(equipment load). Both the above may be handled
differently by different designers.
 Lift control room.

 The lift maintenance contractor shall deploy adequate quantum of

skilled technicians/supervisor/engineer with proper PPE (Personal
Protective Equipment) to attend to
servicing/maintenance/repairs/rescue operation as required. When
the lift number is substantial or lift service is critical like hospitals,
 the maintenance contract may provide for manning the lift control
room by a skilled and trained staff to attend to emergency calls
from the lifts and to attend to emergency rescue operation, or any
emergency situation.
 The lift manufacturer shall train few earmarked personnel like
security staff pertaining to safe method of rescuing trapped persons
 CCTV control and monitoring.

 a) All access areas, such as doorways, lifts and staircases should be covered by CCTV
surveillance for both day and night monitoring in large group housing, commercial
complexes, hospitals/hotels, airports and railway stations
 . b) The CCTV installation shall be interfaced to the Security Management System (SMS)
to provide the operator with the facility to capture and display any camera picture.
 c) Where necessary, cameras shall be provided with pan and tilt control and be fitted with
a motorized lens capable of a zoom range (Pan/Tilt/Zoom or PTZ cameras) appropriate to
the designated task. Pre-set capability can be provided for all fully functional camera
heads to allow automatic response to adjacent alarms.
 Access Control System.

 An access control system (ACS) is a type of security that  Factors

manages and controls who or what is allowed entrance to a
system, environment or facility. Here are few factors to look before you go
 It identifies entities that have access to a controlled device or aheadwith an access control system installation: 
facility based on the validity of their credentials. • Know Your Needs
 Controlling access to your facility is very important to keep your • Areas You Need To Secure
premises safe. To do this, you have to find an access control
solution that meets your specific requirements. • Means Of Authentication
• On-going System Maintenance
• Wired Or Wireless Connection
• Ability To Access The System Remotely
• Ease Of Use • Cost
Wired Or Wireless Connection.

 door access control systems gives you access to a

large area at the click of a single switch from the
control room.
 It allows you to connect multiple zones, floors, and
buildings to a centralized power source.
 Whereas wireless systems are ideal for small offices,
stores and stand alone storage areas.
 These systems can’t cover large areas and they are
relatively affordable.
BUILDING MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS (BMS)

 All buildings have some form of mechanical and electrical services in order to provide the
facilities necessary for maintaining a comfortable working environment.
 These services have to be controlled by some means to ensure, availability of taxi as
designed and comfort conditions irrespective of the number of occupants or individual
preferences.
 Basic controls take the form ot manual switching, time clocks or temperature switches
that provide the on and off signals for enabling pumps, fans or valves, etc.
 The purpose of a building management system (BMS) is to automate and take control of
these operations in the most efficient way possible for the occupiers/business, within the
constraints of the installed plants/ installations.
 BMS CONTROL THE FOLLOWING.

 a) HVAC systems, which include air handling units, fan coil units, chillers, pumps and boilers;
 b) Lifts (it is normally used to gather information about location/movement of lifts rather than actually controlling their
operation);
 c) All equipment having variable frequency drives (VFD);
 d) Lighting systems
 e) Water supply systems including boilers, water treatment plants, water supply pumps, etc
 f) Sewage treatment plant (STP), effluent treatment plants (ETP)
 g) Medical and other gas supply system
 h) Access control system
 j) Ventilation system
 k) Fire alarm and suppression, fire fighting systems (Sprinklers, hydrants)
 l) CCTV cameras connected to digital video recorders (DVR) or network video recorders (NVR)
 Key Components of BMS

  BMS is an intelligent mix of hardware devices which works as data collecting/ warning
agents and software which collates data and graphically presents same for better and
simple understanding. The following are the key components of BMS:
 a) Centralized workstation computer with user friendly software used for everyday
building operations
 b) Direct digital controllers (DDC) - micro¬ processor based pre-configured/freely
programmable controllers
 c) Field devices - temperature sensors, humidity sensors, pressure sensors, valves,
actuators, movement sensors, etc
