The brief
What the building demands
- 01Service charges under control, in a building where everyone checks their share
- 02Controlling entry without turning the block into a bunker
- 03A system a non-technical managing agent can operate
- 04An installation ready for fibre and for electric vehicle charging
The architecture
The response, layer by layer
The same order of dependency as on every project we run: energy first, supervision last. Each layer links to the discipline that handles it.
- 01ENERGYEnergy
Individual metering per apartment and separate metering of common services — the condition of a share-out nobody can dispute. Discipline
- 02ELECTRICALElectrical
Risers sized by phase, with provision made for electric vehicle charging in the car park. Discipline
- 03NETWORKNetworks
Ducts and conduits provided for fibre to each apartment, with an operator room sized in from the start. Discipline
- 04SECURITYSecurity
Video protection of common areas only, recorded locally, with access to footage governed by the building rules. Discipline
- 05ACCESSAccess control
IP video intercom, individual credentials revocable without changing a cylinder, managed delivery access. Discipline
- 06FIREFire
Detection in circulation and plant rooms, smoke control on the cores, reporting to the concierge position. Discipline
- 07AUTOMATIONAutomation
Common area lighting on presence detection, seasonal scheduling on external lighting. Discipline
- 08MONITORINGSupervision
Common service metering visible to the managing agent, with an alert on abnormal consumption.
Technologies
What we bring to bear
- IEC 60364
- NF C 15-100
- SIP / IP intercom
- EN 50132
- OSDP
Open, documented standards rather than closed systems: an installation must remain serviceable and extendable by another integrator.
In use
What this architecture produces
- Service charges become verifiable, and therefore arguable on facts.
- A lost credential is revoked in a minute, without replacing a lock.
- The building accepts fibre and EV charging without major works.
