LifeCycle Tower ONE

Editorial Type: Case Study     Date: 03-2016    Views: 2051      





Dassault Systèmes is developing Smart Facility Solutions based on the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform, demonstrated by the LifeCycle Tower ONE (LCT ONE) building in Austria

Hailed as the next generation of sustainable management and operations, LifeCycle Tower ONE (LCT ONE) demonstrates what can be achieved by putting together BIM's operations management and smart building control solutions - and all courtesy of the Internet of Things (IoT).

Dassault Systèmes, the 3DEXPERIENCE Company, a world leader in 3D design software, 3D Digital Mock Up and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions, participated in a landmark smart office building project in cooperation with Rhomberg Group, Zumtobel Group, Bosch Software Innovations, and Modcam AB. With this project, Dassault Systèmes aims to introduce more sustainable management of homes, commercial buildings and factories to smart cities of the future.

Product Lifecycle Management, a mainstay of Dassault Systèmes' product design and manufacturing solutions, translates readily into building lifecycle management - one of the principal aims of BIM. The use of smart solutions, similar to those implemented on LCT ONE, will enable real-time fine tuning of environmentally-sensitive building components through the use of strategically located sensors, providing accurate feedback that can be used to monitor and control equipment settings.

Performance simulation helps architects design buildings that 'perform' better under all operating and occupation criteria. The installation of smart solutions provides real data that not only can be used to enhance sustainability and comfort for its occupants, but also delivers results that can be compared to earlier simulations - to be used to modify future designs - a learning curve for future cities.

The LifeCycle Tower
Hence the pilot project - the LifeCycle Tower ONE building in Dornbirn, Austria, which was presented during the 2016 Bosch ConnectedWorld event in Berlin, Germany. The modern LCT ONE, owned by Rhomberg Group, has been equipped with a state of the art Zumtobel lighting solution and smart controls system, turning it into an innovative connected building targeting the highest standards of sustainability and user comfort.

The LCT ONE project is the latest from Dassault Systèmes' 3DEXPERIENCity initiative to virtually represent, extend and improve the real world and manage data, processes and people of sustainable cities. This initiative addresses architecture, infrastructure, planning, resources and inhabitants, so that stakeholders can virtually explore a city's future and its effects on its citizens and the planet.

In this context, Dassault Systèmes' 3DEXPERIENCE platform offers a unified virtual environment for design, simulation and seamless exchange of information between electronics, mechatronics and sensors of each system in smart objects, buildings or vehicles. the eal-time monitoring and analysis of Internet of Things components and systems operations can help provide feedback to advance the next generation of design.

In the LCT ONE project, the 3DEXPERIENCE platform provides real-time insights into the building's usage and technical health to make best use of energy efficiency and occupancy. These include energy usage and savings per luminaire, per floor or for the entire building, 3D visualisations of presence data and a heat map that shows occupancy to help optimise usage. Maintenance insights, falling precisely within the remit of BIM building operation or facility management, include luminaire failure notifications, operating hours and the usage history of the lighting system. Knowledge about preferred lighting scenes helps augment light settings and, as a result, increase end-user satisfaction.

"The IoT is evolving into the 'Internet of Experiences,' where devices are digitally connected to the physical world around them to become part of a living experience shaped by interactions among people, places and objects," says Monica Menghini, executive vice president, chief strategy officer, Dassault Systèmes.

"By cooperating with Bosch Software Innovations and other innovators in their respective industries, we can demonstrate how sensor information can be easily harnessed from any big data repository in real time and linked to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform's realistic representation of a virtual environment.

“In this case, the 3DEXPERIENCE building actually becomes the master reference for planning, simulating and operating the estate. Sustainable cities can become a reality sooner than we think."
