Smart Building Infrastructure Design for Water Bros Inc.'s HVAC Solution

Problem Description

Overview

Continuing with the domain you discussed in the last two assignments (smart buildings), you are now asked to help the contractors install a specialized smart building infrastructure for a company. You are asked to (a) identify and express key quality requirements and make architectural decisions and (b) produce pertinent architectural models.

Problem Description

Overview

The Smart Home contractors “Smart Builders” we saw in the previous assignments have now landed an actual project. They are asked to install a full Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) solution for a small lab space owned by the water quality testing lab company “Water Bros Inc.”. The lab space consists of:
• A foyer at the entrance where the reception is
• 2 labs hosting sensitive measuring and analysis equipment,
• 2 office spaces with cubicles for the technicians and doctors,
• a board and meeting room,
• a mail room and
• a sample storage room

Make design decisions that allow Water Bros achieve their quality objectives (accuracy, fault detection and tolerance). Your design decisions include:

a. The choice between SeriousTempBus and OmniTempSensorXS3 for each room and where they are placed.

b. How many controllers, sensors and in what configurations should they be.

c. Decide how you are going to support the availability requirements for sensors.

3. Go to the Architecture Definition Document template and produce descriptions and models that describe your work above.
