CitectFacilities is an open and integrated facilities management solution that connects multiple sites and multiple functions.

CitectFacilities is a tool to help bridge the gap between building automation systems and facilities management systems. This connection helps facility managers to reduce operating costs, thus improving margins while at the same time increasing visibility, control and standardization of their facility.

Designed to manage large building environments, CitectFacilities integrates all your facilities’ systems (HVAC, lighting, access control, etc.) across your entire enterprise to:

• Lower operating costs
• Improve tenant services
• Reduce energy consumption
• Maximize energy efficiency

Integrating disparate systems within a facility helps owners and managers achieve synergies such as managing HVAC, lighting, access control, security, fire & life safety and communications systems. CitectFacilities will connect to multiple vendor hardware.

An open and unified view of operations will increase transparency, throw up anomalies, challenge facility managers to improve performance and tenants to consume energy more responsibly.

Enterprise-wide monitoring and control

CitectFacilities integrates all of your existing facilities systems into a convenient, single management system from which you can centrally access and manage control.

This integration is achieved by connecting to open protocols, such as BACnet, LONWorks, EIB and OPC, which are favored within the building automation and facilities management industries.

Key benefits at a glance:

• Save money through more efficient utilities usage.
• Improve decision making and control of centralized, easy-to-access facility systems.
• Increase the reliability of your system.
• Maximize your mobility by using wireless technology to monitor and control your facility from anywhere, at any time.
• Lower your Total Cost of Ownership through more efficient use of existing staff.

Enterprise-wide centralized monitoring: Immediate, continuous 24/7 visibility of multiple vendor systems and multiples sites leads to increased staff productivity, lower operating costs and improved tenant service. Making energy consumption figures available in real time gives tenants a chance to instantly adjust usage and understand how their behavior affects energy costs.

Increase reliability: Reliability is a key characteristic of the CitectFacilities solution. It is designed with multi-level, hardware-independent redundancy. Optional dual servers and dual networking can provide an additional level of reliability.

Improve building automation efficiency: Operators can use PC-based displays anywhere on the network to change set points and override equipment operation. CitectFacilities permits flexible 24/7 monitoring of multiple sites, reducing staffing requirements and improving the productivity of building maintenance and security personnel.

Preserve capital investments: CitectFacilities protects your existing and future investments because it works with what you already have. CitectFacilities integrates with all networks commonly used in building automation, such as BACnet, LONWorks, Johnson Controls and others. CitectFacilities incorporates open standards; you can continue to add new building automation technologies of your choice. All this means that CitectFacilities offers low risk and a low entry cost.

Remote access and mobility: CitectFacilities’ remote access and Mobility solution, help you to monitor your system remotely via the Internet. Facility managers and operators can now remotely monitor all their facilities’ systems, even when traveling, with our Mobility solution. Mobility provides a flexible, easy-to-use operator interface with full access to system alarms and variable tags. It allows users to make informed decisions and prioritize the actions required regardless of their location.

Key features:

Scheduler
The Scheduler allows you to optimize your facilities systems based on calendar events. For example, you can program the Scheduler to switch off lighting and HVAC systems outside normal working hours.  The calendar-based user interface is easy to configure. You can program “special days” for holidays or other irregular events. Control schedules can be configured during project development and changed during runtime.

Process Analyst

Process Analyst allows facility managers and operators to analyze the cause of disturbances throughout their facility by bringing together trend and alarm data on a single integrated display. If there is a fault in the air-conditioning system and the temperature is deviating from set points, instead of comparing trend data with alarm logs on different pages, Process Analyst allows the operator to simply select any alarm and variable that could have contributed to the disturbance. This means the system fault can be identified, analyzed and rectified in less time with minimum disruption. Process Analyst also allows operators to recognize patterns that may lead to disturbances so that they can be identified before a fault occurs.

Additional features:

• Zero maintenance, fully functional Web Client
• True client-server architecture
• Redundancy at every level with no special hardware requirements
• WAN capability with centralized database
• Dial-up modem support
• Multi-CPU Support
• Continuous 24/7 monitoring

• Comprehensive security features enabling restricted user access
• Multiple screens (up to 6 screens per workstation)
• Industry standard reporting such as energy consumption
• True-color, facilities industry-specific symbols
• Rapid development through pre-configured templates and genies

The primary focus of CitectFacilities V7.10r1 is to help facilities managers and building owners increase the effective management of their buildings’ energy distribution and usage. The use of BACnet, now an integrated driver with CitectFacilities, enables facilities managers to optimize their energy efficiency through advanced automation and regulation.

V7.10r1 introduces support for Microsoft Windows Vista, letting you take advantage of the additional security features built into this operating system. The release also introduces Windows Integrated Security which allows corporate security standards to apply to your facilities management and creates a single location for the management of user accounts. Multi-signature functionality provides an additional level of security for actions.

What’s new in V7.10 r1:

• New symbols added to the vast symbol library
• BACnet driver included at no extra cost
• Windows Integrated Security
