1. INTRODUCTION
This document serves as a support for M&E services concept analysis and Design brief for the High Rise Hotel Development
for City Developers International (PVT) Ltd situated at No 59 Ananda Coomaraswamy Mawatha.
This reportis intended to be the basis of an ongoing detailed design in the context of a fully-fledged design and build offer. It is
required that the clientand architectural team review this design brief and confirm that the proposals and recommendations are
appropriate and acceptable for this project in terms of suitability to the existing hotel design and budgets. We incorporated in
this design different provisions and concepts that we believe will contribute to the global efficiency and longevity of the M&E
installations whilst optimizing the operational costs.
Development of the design will continue at the Schematic and Detail Design Phase after formal acceptance of this
concept design and budget report by the client and his design team.
Particular attentionhas been paid to the energy efficiency of systems designedof this development. This design brief therefore
requires the utmost attention of the hotel operators whoalso have toreview the contents of this briefin connection with their
group design and operation guidelines for this resort. A brief description of the operation of systems is also included in each
section to help with the understanding.
2. PROJECT ELEMENTS
The overall approach is to designM&E systems that do not conflict with green design guidelines. Consistent with this concept,
programmatic elements will highlight and sustain the existing ecological conditions to achieve sustainable design goals and
protect the ecosystem.
Emphasis will be laid on a commitment to reduce resource demand usingefficientlighting and natural ventilation systems where
possible
We have assumed that a 85% occupancy rate will be effective for the Hotel but at this time, the infrastructure demands and
loading have been determined based on 100% occupancy to cater for peak times.
The Main utilities infrastructure has been sized according to the following assumptions based on a 100% occupancy:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Hotel shall be able to survive 2 days on its own.

Diesel Reserve shall be sized for a minimum of 2 days
Water Storage shall be dimensioned for 3 Days )
All major pieces of Equipment for production and conditioning of Electricity and Water shall be backed up by at leasta

4. ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY, DISTRIBUTION AND PROTECTION
Electrical supply and distribution systems are essential and vital means for operation of a
development during utility normal power, utility power failure and emergency operation
periods.
The aim of the design of the electrical supply and distribution systems for this project is to
achieve the following objectives:
To provide reliable and adequate power supply to maintain the hotel operations at
all times
To ensure that the designs and installations are safe for operation and are in
compliance with the standards/codes of practice and Local authorities
requirements
To include the required level of redundancy in terms of system design and
infrastructure provisions
To provide cost effective and easy maintainable systems.
The full electrical distribution system was simulated on Caneco design Software and the
detailed design report is included for reference.
Designing the electrical system on Caneco ensured that:

The busbar and cabling systems are correctly sized for current carrying capacity of the
upstream protection devise.
The conductors are right sized for expected fault levels (thermal stress)
The volt drop specifications are within prescribed limits
There is proper co-ordination of protection devices. (thermal and magnetic)
Large load switching is accounted for
Incorporated diversity and simultaneity factors.
Construction documentation is 100% complete and correct (schematics and references)
Page 7 of 80
I. PRELIMINARY ELECTRICAL LOAD ESTIMATES

The estimated undiversified and diversified electrical demand calculations are shown in the
Caneco Calculation file. The total electrical demand shall be confirmed during detailed design
when exact kitchen and other equipment loads are available.
Initial Estimated Undiversified Electrical demands for common and public areas were
calculated on a Watts per sqM basis. The assumptions for the different systems were as
follows:
1. Air conditioning ventilation system FCU (Actual expected Fan Coil Unit and Air
Handling Unit Capacities with Diversity factor of 0.75
2. Lightingsystem 15 to 30 W/sqM depending on area usage at a diversity factor of
0.9
3. Small power15 to 25 W/sqM depending on area usage at a diversity factor of
0.65
4. The Selected Mechanical equipment loads are as per there inherent rating
diversified to match their operating curves. And these loads typically include:
a. Chillers (2 x Units)
b. Pumps (Cold Water Booster)
c. Hot water production (Circulation / Recuperation pumps)
d. Sump Pumps
e. Firefighting equipment
f. Pool Pumps
g. Lifts stations
h. IT equipment and Ups
i. Kitchens at 650W/sqM
5. Room loadings were calculated using expected equipment and lighting loads
based on a typical room layout.
6. Coefficient characterizing the simultaneous operation of equipment has been
estimated at 0.85 at the Busbar level of the MLVS.
The load calculation is based upon best practice for electrical load estimates and have been
verified using statistics of similar projects already in operation.
The preliminary maximum demand for the development is estimated based on the above
assumptions at1560 kVA excluding spare capacity for future expansion. Selecting 2000 kVA,
installed capacity allows for roughly 25%of reserve capacity to cater expansion and for heat
load due harmonic content on the utility network load growth in future. The estimated
maximum demand is based on 100% occupancy.
II. MEDIUM VOLTAGESUPPLY FROM CEB
The exact connection point and available capacity of the existing Central Electricity Board (CEB)
electrical services near the proposed site must still be determined and confirmed with the local
Authority. It is assumed that the incoming power supply to the development will be tapped from
the existing Medium Voltage network and will terminate in the CEB MV switchroom located on the
Ground Floor.
The MV Switchgear shall be from Schneider Electric or Similar and/or approved switchgear as may be
Page 8 of 80
required by the CEB. The Proposed MV switchgear arrangement in the CEB switch room will be as follows:
1 x 22kV Rated Isolator for the termination of the CEB incoming supply (Current
rating to be agreed with CEB)
1 x 22kV Rated Isolator for completing the ring feed Back to CEB (Current rating to
be agreed with CEB)
1 x 22kV Rated Metering Cubicle including Voltage Transformer for metering and
space for the CEB Tariff Meter.
1 x 22kV Rated Circuit Breaker feeding the Consumer MV Busbar.
1 x 22kV Rated Circuit Breaker feeding Power Transformer 1 (Rated for 2000kVA)
1 x 22kV Rated Circuit Breaker feeding Power Transformer 2 (Rated for 2000kVA)
III. STANDBY POWER SUPPLY DIESEL GENERATORS

The generator standby power is designed to take the full load of the building. The power pack consists of 3 x
1000kVA standby rated diesel generators. The generator set willautomatically start-up in the case of mains
failure. The envisaged start-up sequence is as follows:
- Generator 1 Starts up and via MCCB closes onto the dead generator coupling busbar.
- The main feeders to the 2 x chillers are disabled to ensure that the load is within the 1000kVA
range.
- The generator coupling panel in turn powers the source change over panel to supply the building
with emergency power. This should limit the restore time to less than 30Sec.
- Once the source change over is on replacement supply, the second generator will start and
synchronize onto the generator coupling busbar.
- Only when 2 of the generators are successfully synchronized will the Chillers be started up in
sequence.
-Generator 3 will be reserved in case of failure of one of the running gensets.
The following electrical loads are considered emergency loads and fire resistant cable will be used to ensure
emergency load supply is maintained under fire conditions.
Fire fighting system and detection system
Domestic water/drainage pumps and sewage pumps
Security system
Page 9 of 80
Staircase pressurization fans.

Note that the generators shall operate in a standby configuration and shall not be synchronized to the CEB
grid.
The Generators shall be similar or equal to SDMO. Care shall be taken in the final selection of the
generators to allow for serviceability of the generators by a company or companies in Colombo
i.
SOUND PROOFING LEVELS FOR GENERATORS

The standby power plant shall be designed to achieve 80 dB@1M at open field conditions with an exhaust
compliant to latest European standards. Soundproofing of the Generator room is envisaged using special
intake and outlet air mufflers, and specially designed exhaust silencers as shown above. It is assumed that
the generator building will be double walled which will eliminate the need for additional costly sound proof
cladding inside the building.
We have designed bare generator sets in a power plant for various reasons. The standby power plant forms
part of the heart of the electrical distribution for the development and it is essential to have a reliable and
servicing/ maintenance friendly installation.
ii.
DIESEL SUPPLY AND STORAGE

The Generator shall be equipped with a built-in Diesel day-tank capable of supplying standby operation of 810 hours. Allowance is made for a bulk storage diesel tanks capable of running the hotel autonomous for 2
days. The bulk storage tank of 10 000 liters shall be located near the technical block.
Provision shall be made for eventual spillage, Water separation and filtering equipment for diesel.
iii.
CONTROL SYSTEM OF GENERATORS

We will specify in-built controllers with the generator sets to program numerous operating options via a
microcontroller. Permanent screen display shall make it possible to check generator set status, electrical
quantities, engine parameters, and the status of the various controller management inputs, regulation
management of electrical parameters and electrical protection devices.
All generator set configuration operations shall be performed via a tactile screen and also make allowance
for advanced modifications via a PC.
IV. POWER TRANSFORMERS

To ensure reliability and security of supply we made allowance in the design for two 2000kVA step down
transformers be installed to feed a transformer coupling panel This is arrangement also ensures 100%
availability of supply during maintenance and/or repair. The transformers shall be fitted with the required
protection relay sensors, pressure, temperature, gas etc.
Page 10 of 80
The sensors will be relayed to the sepam T20 Relays in the respective MV Circuit breaker cubicles and to an
audio/visual signaling control panel
Each Transformer will also be fitted with an off load tap changer (+-5%) to cater for voltage regulation
adjustments during commissioning and transformer lifetime.
The proposed transformers will be of the commonly used type, sealed oil transformers, with closed MV and LV
terminals. Transformers will be similar or equal to France Transfo from Schneider Electric. Proper catchment
and drainage channels will be provided for easy and safe recovery of any spilled oil.
V. TRANSFORMER COUPLING PANEL

The 2 x 2000kVA transformers feed a transformer coupling panel located in the same transformer room. The
panel is fed via a busbar system from each of the transformers. Should one of the transformers fail, the second
transformer can be switched to restore the main supply.Being an alternating source panel,it is more cost
effective to locate the panel as close to the transformers as possible to economize on the reduced rating of the
busbar system feeding the Source Change over panel on the first floor
VI. GENERATOR SYNCHRONIZATION PANEL
Each one of the 1000kVA Diesel generators shall be equipped with an onboard synchronization controller that
shall signal its MCCB to close onto the generator synchronization panel. The Generator synchronization panel
shall be equipped with 3 x 1600A ACB switches for de-coupling the generators during servicing. A 3200A ACB
located in this panel shall feed the Source Change-Over Panel.
VII. SOURCE CHANGE-OVER PANEL

The main source change over panel is located in the ATS room on the first floor. The change over panel is
responsible for automatic selection between the normal (CEB) and replacement (Generators) sourcesin the
event of mains power supply failure. The Circuit breaker type change-overprovides a safe means of
operation in case of breakdown of the change-over controls.
The main change-over panel in turn feed Section 1 of the MLVS panel in the adjacent room.
The Power Factor Correction Capacitor Bank is incorporated into the source change over panel to
facilitate easy switching in and out the PFC during source change.
Page 11 of 80
VIII. MAIN LOW VOLTAGE PANEL

The MLVP is made up out of 2 sections to facilitate fault level reduction and busbar system layout given the
limited space available.
The MLVP section 1 is fed directly from the source change-over panel and section 2 in turn is fed from MLVP
section 1.
The MLVP forms the heart of the primary low voltage distribution system and consist the following Feeders.
MLVS SECTION 1: (3200A rated )

IX. PRIMARY LOW VOLTAGE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
Page 12 of 80
The Primary low voltage distribution shall consist of a number of busbar runs emanating from the MLVS
Panel. The Busbar Risers supplying the different levels shall feed the Main Riser floor panels by means of a
suitably rated tap-off unit. The Terminal Distribution boards on each floor shall be fed via Un-armoured
double shielded pvc/pvc cables from the MDB Riser panels.
X. ELECTRICAL AND SMALL POWER DISTRIBUTION SERVICES

The terminal distribution room panels shall be IP55 and shall be installed in the services risers provided. The
general principal of power distribution will be 1 dedicated miniature distribution board for 2 rooms. The
distribution panels in back of house and common areas will be of the recessed wall mounted type to ensure
an aesthetically pleasing final product.Functional terminal distribution boards of higher rating for kitchen and
M&E plantrooms shall be suited for multiple distribution with ample spare capacity to cater for expansion.
The power cables to these terminal distribution boards shall be via un-armouredpvc insulated cables
dressed neatly on cable trays in areas where there is false ceilings (refer to the power and lighting drawings
for proposed distribution board locations and cable tray routings.

Page 15 of 80
XIII. EARTHING, LIGHTNING AND SURGE PROTECTION SYSTEMS

iv.
EARTHING SYSTEM
No dedicated earthingwill be allowed. As per IEE and BS regulations, in each installation main equipotential
bonding conductors are required to connect main earthing terminal including:
Water service pipes

Gas installation pipes
Air conditioning systems
Exposed metallic structural parts of the building
Lightning protection
The above requirements shall apply to all buildings throughout the
site.
The following earthing systems will be provided:
Electrical earthing for the MV System installation

Electrical earthing for the LV System installation
Electrical earthing for Mechanical Equipment
Electrical earthing including LV switchboards,
Transformers and general electrical installation
The earthing system will adopt a resistivity value not exceeding 3 ohm. All metalwork associated with the
electrical installation will be bonded together and will be solidly and effectively earthed.
v.
LIGHTNING PROTECTION
In general, the highest point of a facility is the most vulnerable to a direct lightningstrike. Lightning rods or air
terminals are needed to capture the strike to a preferred point and to safely conduct the energy toground to
minimize the risk.
The selected lightning protection system shall consist of an Early Streamer Emission (E.S.E.) type lightning
conductor mounted on the top roof pinnacle. The E.S.E shall be connected to a special earthing conductor
that runs in an insulated sleeve down the core of the building into a dedicated earth system.
The function of the insulateddown conductor is to provide a low impedance path from the air termination to
the ground system so that thelightning current can be conducted to earth, without the development of
excessively large voltages.
Page 16 of 80
vi.
SURGE PROTECTION
Surges are short-time voltage impulses, so called transients, coming up to 10 KV.
Surges are caused by:
1. L.E.M.P (Lightning Electromagnetic Pulse)- surges caused by atmospherical influences, e.g.
direct lightning stroke and electromagnetic lightning fields.
2. S.E.M.P (Switching Electromagnetic Pulse)- surges caused by short-circuits, operational bad
switching.
Surges affect mainly power supply, I.T equipments, telephone systems and control & regulation systems. For
this purpose, lightning current and surge arresters will form part of our design concept.
Lightning surge arresters are responsible for conducting of high energies without damage. They have to be
installed as close as possible to the entrance of the electrical system.

5. IT AND STRUCTURED CABLING SYSTEMS

I. IT & COMMS - STRUCTURED CABLING & DATA INSTALLATIONS
i.
Rj45 CABLING INFRASTRUCTURE
The proposed design is based on 2 main 42U IT cabinets located in the MDF Room (1st Floor) :
one for the Network cabling and devices
one for the servers (IP Telephony, IP TV, CCTV, PMS)
Additionally, we propose to locate another 42U cabinet downstairs, in the office at the back of the
Reception (or in Fire Command Center / Security if you prefer), which will be dedicated to the Main
Public Address Devices. This part is detailed the CCTV chapter. The reason for that is in regards to
accessibility to this cabinet.
The Main Network Cabling, named FD0, will distribute the following floors:
Ground Floor (Reception Floor)
1st Floor (Parking & Technical Rooms Floor)
2nd to 4th Floor (Parking Floors)
Considering the building structure, and in order to limit the length of copper cables and number of panels
and switches in each cabinet, we propose to locate smaller secondary cabinets (21 to 25U) in different floors
as follows:
6th Floor : distributing 6th and 5th Floor (named FD1)
12th Floor : distributing 12th Floor and 11th Floor (named FD4)
22th Floor : distributing 22nd and 21th Floor (named FD9)
24th Floor : distributing 24th and 23h Floor (named FD10)
The dimension of each cabinet is defined in order to allow a proper integration of devices as well as thermal
dissipation. Especially depth is very important and is not to be neglected.
Each secondary cabinet will be linked to the Main IT Cabinet (Network) via a 6 Cores Multimode Optical
Fiber in a converged star configuration.
Using multi-core fibre cables, each Network switch will be fed by an individual fibre link from the core
switches and then extended to data outlets in each guest rooms via category 6 cables.
Page 19 of 80
Additionally, in order to bring redundancy in case of optical link failure, an extra Copper Cat.6 UTP cable is
proposed between 2 adjacent cabinets as follows :
Between FD1 and FD2
Between FD3 and FD4
Between FD5 and FD6
Between FD7 and FD8
Between FD9 and FD10
The cabling infrastructure is designed for bringing a real modularity since each Cat.6 UTP Rj45 distribution
socket can support network or wireless devices, IP phones, IP CCTV cameras or IP Audio Amplifiers. This
list is not limitative.
The detailed quantities and location of Rj45 sockets can be found on the drawings and as follows :
Page 20 of 80
Page 21 of 80
Page 22 of 80
ii.
LAN & WIFI NETWORK
The Main Core is based on one4506 (6 slots) Cisco chassis, as you did not request redundancy.
A service contract allows fast replacement in case of failure.
We advise not to use a smaller one, like for example a Cisco 4503 (3 slots) which would be immediately full
without any capacity of further expansion.
Cisco 2960 POE Switches at either fiber ends will deliver 100Mbps access to each individual Rj45 socket as
well as permit to power devices such as IP Phones, Wireless Access Points, IP Camerasetc
This is also highly recommended in order to bring HD TV services as well as new services without having to
change anything. We consider that this either is required for guests or staffs use.
Two models of 2960 POE Switches in order to optimize the cost : 24 and 48 ports.
The repartition is done in order to match the connectivity needs: each Rj45 socket has to be able to be
activated.
The network will be segmented via the usage of Virtual LANs (VLAN), which would separate the guest
network from the staff network.
The Cisco wireless LAN infrastructure will cover guest rooms as well as major public areas: business center,
restaurant, bars and offices.We can consider other required areas by adding additional wireless access
points.
We have considered and reduced to a minimum the number of Wireless Access Points in the Guest Rooms
Floors in order to reduce the cost. Please consider that we will proceed to a proper site survey in order to
confirm that the actual walls will not reduce the signal to an unacceptable level limit. Based on our
experience, by alternating Wireless Access Points on two consecutive Floors we should be able to match
your requirements.
Guests entering the hotspot areas will be authenticated and payment may be processed using international
currencies using multiple methods using hotel property management system, credit card, pre-paid cards
etc.
The Wireless Gateway is able to support multiple authentication models, allow users to connect to the
Internet securely and quickly, and help you prevent unauthorized network access.
With the Remember Me function, it stores encrypted login cookies to create better user experience for
repeat visits.
The suite of features built into the Wireless Gateway includes delivery of local content, bandwidth
management, maximization of revenue beyond connectivity charges all designed and selected to help you
obtain optimal value. With the walled garden feature, you are able to gain incremental revenues for ecommerce sites, applications, and advertisements before the user purchases access.
Flexible billing options are available for both users as well as you.
Catering to different user access requirements, the Wireless Gateway provides a choice to charge by
volume, time and bandwidth.
Page 23 of 80
For you, the Wireless Gateway facilitates a wide variety of billing options through credit card interface over
SSL, Radius Client, or via secure XML API allowing third party applications integration.
You can generate revenue at every touch point with the user before, during, and after connection.
Bandwidth management ensures users quality of experience by placing bandwidth limits on each device
accessing the network.
The Wireless Gateway includes the Information and Control Console (ICC) feature, which allows users to
increase or decrease their bandwidth and pricing plans dynamically.
Additionally, a PEPLINK Load balancer is proposed which will permit multiple ISP, mainly for Backup or
aggregation.
Here are the main list of devices we propose to deploy in the cabinets :

iii.
IP TELEPHONY
The solution is based on a full Cisco IP system with Unified Communication.
IP telephony transmits voice communications over the network using open, standards-based Internet
Protocol.
As such, it provides a way for you to extend consistent voice communications services to all your
guests/employees on the main site, at branch offices, remote, or mobile.
Cisco IP telephony solutions are an integral part of Cisco Unified Communications, which unify voice, video,
data, and mobile applications on fixed and mobile networks.
They let your guests/employees talk with each other using almost any media, device, or operating system.
Using its network as the platform, you can gain the inherent benefits of using a converged network for
transport and interconnection.
That enables you to:
Optimize the cost : the Data infrastructure is also the Telephony infrastructure
Provide highly secure, reliable, scalable communications that take advantage of your LAN and WAN
Improve your guests experience by providing them the best solutions available on the market
Improve employee flexibility and productivity with the full range of Cisco Unified Communications and thirdparty applications
Take advantage of a wide range of Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)-based capabilities
iv.
VIP SUITE INTEGRATED SYSTEM :

VIP Connect combines voice and data over a single network that can be easily integrated to support the
needs of sophisticated guests.
Page 25 of 80
With VIP Connect, it becomes possible to leverage an IP foundation to improve the guest experience,
increase staff productivity, reduce operational expenses and manage environmental controls--while
differentiating in a competitive marketplace.
VIP Connect is based on unified communications architecture, integrating voice and
data with a converged application Suite for the Cisco Unified Communications Manager
(CUCM).
This converged IP architecture allows running integrated applicationssuch as voice services and PMS
interfacesover a single dedicated Intel server.
Nevotek VIP Connect interfaces with CUCM over Cisco APIs and also interfaces
with property management systems (PMS) using the propriety interfaces.
When CUCM is integrated with the hotel PMS system using Nevotek VIP Connect, Cisco
IP Phones that are installed in a hotel environment gain features specific to hospitality
industry. A scalable architecture allows VIP Connect to grow with a hotels needs and
support the changing requirements of the hotel guests.
Key Features and Benefits
- Seamless Integration with Cisco Unified Communications Manager :
Nevotek VIP Connect integrates seamlessly with CUCM. It utilizes all IP interaces over
Cisco supported APIs and performs all hospitality functions over these APIs without
needing and user intervention.
- Support for major PMS (Property Management Systems) :
Nevotek VIP Connect supports all major Property Management Systems (PMS) of the
hospitality industry. Through VIP Connect, CUCM seamless interfaces with PMS Systems
in addition, delivers all enhanced telecommunications features.
- End to End IP Convergence :
VIP Connect is a true convergence application. It complements the Cisco convergence
infrastructure with hospitality unified communications applications giving hotel operators
full benefits of unified communications at all levels.
- Simple Administration Interface :
All administration of the system is performed through the powerful web based admin
interface. One very important point is that it is not mandatory to have a Nevotek VIP
Connect administration screen at the front desk. Typically, the front desk staff does not
need to know much about VIP Connect. They simply continue performing their usual
tasks through the PMS system they are familiar with. Rest is taken care of by VIP Connect.
- Intuitive Guest Interface :
One very strong characteristic of VIP Connect is its intuitive guest interface on the Cisco
IP Phones. Guests of all profiles are able to navigate easily through user interface on the
Cisco IP Phones.
VIP Connectsend to end IP architecture enables CUCM interface with hospitality
systems seamlessly.
Using industry standard interfaces like web services, VIP connect interfaces hotel PMS systems in a reliable
fashion.
Page 26 of 80
This converged IP architecture allows you to run integrated applicationssuch as voice services and PMS
interfaces. A scalable architecture allows V/IP Suite to grow with a hotels needs and support the changing
requirements of the hotel guests.
Here is a typical way of implementing the VIP Connect solution (a more detailed specific schematic is also
available in our offer):
Supported PMS Interfaces :

VIP Connect solution supports the following PMS interfaces:
Micros Fidelio/Opera,
Fidelio Cruise
Springer Miller (SMS)
Protel
Hotel Information Systems (HIS) serial
This is the standard supported interface listing. In the hospitality industry, some PMS systems may have
additional variants. Also some specific hotel chains may have their own PMS or may have their own variant
of a PMS system. This requires an understanding of the systems and the customer requirements.
Nevotek is continuously working on developing new interfaces and the above listing is expected to expand.
Nevotek is also a member of the HTNG (Hotel Technology Next Generation) organization and supports
recommendations from this group.
Here are below the main list of IP Phones that we propose to deploy:

Page 28 of 80
II. IPTV SYSTEMS

We proposea full IP TV system, which integrates voice, video, and data into an IP network to deliver
customized content and services through TV.
The television set is turned into a powerful IP appliance that provides building managers, owners, and
tenants alike with access to services like property information, communications tool, and environmental
controls.
Interactive services promise to provide users and guests with more customized content that will add value to
the building experience and additional revenues.
Properties can generate new revenue by providing advanced IT services, including integrated voice mail,
email, fax, text, and entertainment services, such as Pay TV and video on demand, delivered over an IP
networkand accessed via the NevoTV platform.
These services, in addition to standard web browsing can be offered on a pay-for-use basis, or as an added
value option to attract new users and guests.
In addition to traditional IT and entertainment, NevoTV promotes the use of building services, such as
restaurants, meeting rooms, conference centers, gym or spa, allowing users to easily make reservations,
charge services and gain access to amenities. Property owners can also generate advertising revenue by
using NevoTV as a channel to promote the use of in-house and local business services.
Hotels can improve the guest experience and meet the unique needs of every visitor.
Guest information can be stored and accessed to accommodate local language, culture and personal
interests, such as TV channels, music...
Owners and operators can better promote in-house services and generate revenue with pay-per-use
entertainment opportunities and in-room advertising.
More so, the IPTV system can offer advanced IT services to tenants and guests, including voice mail, fax,
email, web browsing, text messaging, pay TV, and video on demand.
Page 29 of 80
The operator can also promote building services, such as the gym or spa, and broadcast ads for local
businesses.
All kinds of buildings can benefit from this system-from hotels that want to enhance the guest experience
with added services like in-room music and temperature controls to office complexes where users can
deliver corporate broadcasts, training, and daily updates to employees.
The proposed system has four key components that deliver flexible, scalable, building-wide convergence
and functionality.
1. Reception
The system head end converts satellite broadcasts into an IP format. The head end is located at
the satellite dish connection, and is part of the building reception system.
2. Transport
The system runs over a buildings existing IP network and integrates with all other systems on that
network.
3. Endpoint
The system works with a set-top box and TV screen at the end user location. This standard
equipment can be plugged into any IP outlet, eliminating the need for coax runs
in addition, providing ultimate flexibility. Users can access the IPTV system from their TV screen, or
via an IP phone.
4. IPTV server
The IPTV server software runs on standard Intel platforms. The modular and flexible server
systems acts as a controller for the IPTV environment and integrates with all other convergence
solutions, as well as other IP based building systems.
Designed to provide System Integrators with a premium solution for interactive IPTV, the single chip Set-Top
Box (STB) supports High Definition (HD) TV output and low bit-rate codecs.
Page 30 of 80
High Definition Output

With a dedicated HDMI port that supports video resolutions up to 720p & 1080i and graphical resolutions up
to 720 x 1280, and analogue AV connectors, the STB provides the complete solution for today and
tomorrows hospitality needs. HD will enable increased revenues through a higher level of service & through
additional chargeable services such as Internet on TV
Advanced Codec Support
The incorporation of low bit rate codecs such as H.264 allows the use of HD content without the associated
bandwidth issues.
The reduction in bandwidth allows for lower infrastructure costs, thus reducing the total cost of ownership.
Guest Internet Connection
Guest Internet usage can be an integral part of the service and a key revenue source. With the Set-Top Box
(STB), it is not necessary to route multiple physical networks to each guest room. The Set-Top Box (STB)
provides a dedicated, fast Ethernet connection for guest use. The connection has built-in quality of service
(QoS) control allowing guest and video traffic to share a
single IP network with complete security and without compromising video transmission quality.
As such, there is no longer any need for an expensive cable TV infrastructure.
6. EXTRA LOW VOLTAGE SYSTEMS

SECURITY SYSTEMS
Page 31 of 80
I. DOOR ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEM

The Door Access System will be provided for guest accommodation.
It is to be considered that the same system could cover any other area like offices and other strategic areas
by adding similar or compatible locks.
We propose a MIFARE solution, which is a reference in its domain.
Also ORBITATECH is a well-known company which has deployed many hotels throughout Europe and many
other continents.
Prestigious references can be found here :http://www.orbitatech.com/case.htm
Hotel staff will only gain entry to these areas with the use of authorised cards/keys.
We propose proximity readers which are better than code or inserted card systems from our point of view.
However the Specific choice of key/card system will be confirmed with the hotel operator.
The System will identify different levels of access covering guest, house cleaner, housekeeper, valet roomservice, one-off entries for repairs and emergency, etc.
Locks will NOT be hardwiredin order to lower the cost and facilitate the deployement.
However entries are recorded in the locks and its possible to extract the information if needed for security
reasons.
The lockset will be operated by dry battery with the capacity of more than 6000 accesses.
The most important point is that this solution is compatible with the well known MICROS solutions.
This permits a much faster programming of guests cards.
Page 32 of 80
Here is a typical Access Control solution that we propose to deploy for the guest rooms :
Stainless steel material LED display hotel
Mifare 1 lock
Page 33 of 80
Display the room number, status of batteries, time

and date
Indication of lock status such as Welcome,
Dont disturb, Wrong cardetc
Other models are available. This is a point which
will have to be validated afterwards
USB port Mifarecardencoder.

(PC to be provided by the hotel)
Mifare hotel printed card

These are the cards provided to the guests
Mifare data card

These are the cards used to extract information
from the locks when needed
Page 34 of 80
II. CCTV SYSTEM FOR TECHNICAL / PUBLIC AREAS

IP CCTV cameras will be placed unobtrusively in most common areas:
We propose to install Fixed types cameras in the following areas :
Reception & Main Lobby
Corridor of the Service Lifts
External area
Technical rooms entrance
Parking area
Customers lift entrance
Back of the bars
Guest Floors corridors
We suggest not to install cameras in some areas where they could be considered as intrusive by the
guests : restaurant area, gym club
More details and quantities of CCTV cameras can be found in the IT & COMMS - STRUCTURED CABLING
& DATA INSTALLATIONS chapter and on the drawings.
Two type of cameras are proposed :
Internal type :Sarix IM network fixed Indoor mini dome camera 1.3 megapixel color. vari-focal lens
2.8-10mm white clear dome with liner. Its sensitivity is down to 0.12 Lux.
External type :Sarix IX series, network camera, 1.3 mega pixel day/night equipped with 3 Mega-Pixel
Vari-Focal lenses auto iris DC 1/3", 2.8-8mm, F1.2. This camera will be placed into a professional
external housing. Its sensitivity is down to 0.03 Lux
These cameras possess H.264 and MJPEG Compression Capabilities.
They do not require external power supply as the Cisco Ethernet Switches are able to supply power via the
data Rj45 link.
The cameras will be operated by the security personnel to monitor an exact location whereparticular
attention is required.
During normal operation, all concerned areas will be monitored and recorded onto two storage servers. Each
storage server has a total capacity of 9 TB.
This architecture differs from simplest ones that can be found when a small number of cameras is involved.
This system does not involve a single recorder from which the viewing is also operated.
The large number of cameras makes it necessary to use different devices for recording, managing and
viewing.
The Console Display device accepts2 x monitors which can display maximum 16 x channels per screen.
Therefore, its possible to view 32 video images simultaneously split over two screens.
In order to increase this quantity, additional Console Display devices could be added.
Page 35 of 80
The design of the control depends on your requirements.

We will take our lead from your suggestions bearing in mind that IP equipment, whatever they may be, do
have viewing limitations due to bandwidth consumption and H.264 decoding.
Here are the typical Equipment that we propose to deploy on site :

III. IP PUBLIC ADDRESS SYSTEM

PA = Public Address System
EVC = Emergency Voice Call system
BGM = Background Music System
The complete IP system consists of speakers, power amplifiers, input sources e.g. microphone,
tuner, compact disc and zone selection relay and control units located in the office (at the back of
the reception) or in Security room.
Its normal operating mode is to play background music.
In the event of fire, cyclone warning or emergency, an emergency switch in the security command
centre will override the PA/BGM system
Emergency (EVC) announcements will be broadcast from the FCC (Fire command centre for the
development), unless the FCC has delegated control of EVC functions to the hotel security room.
Emergency (EVC) announcements will be broadcasted to all areas (either as a common
announcement or according to the zoning and staging of any evacuation based on the management
fire strategy for the development).
The administrator of PA control center can broadcast greetings or other contents in different areas at
different time, and guide guests to evacuate effectively when any emergency event happened, in
order to avoid any property damage or personal injury.
The background music system will serve most common areas as detailed below and on the
drawings :

PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICES

I.
COLD WATER REQUIREMENTS
The quality of drinking water is a powerful environmental determinant of health. The water supplied by the water
utility company should comply with World Health Organization (WHO) guideline for drinking water quality.
Potable cold water for the proposed development is determined at this stage from the preliminary calculations
and assumptions based on water consumption pattern for city hotels. The water consumption is estimated at
three level of occupancies i.e at 50%, 75% and 100% occupancy.
For two days autonomy, we have sized the storage facilities at 2 x 60 cubic meters.
II.
COLD WATER STORAGE
UNDERGROUND RC CONSTRUCTION
Dimension: 12m X 5m X 2.5m (L x W x H)
The cold-water storage tanks shall be in reinforced concrete and buried underground because of space
limitations at the Technical Block. The tank shall be separated in 2 compartments of 60 cubic meters capacity
each. The 2 compartments can be isolated from to enable cleaning of one compartment whilst the second
compartment is still operational.
A typical storage tank schematic based on BS EN 1508:1999 is enclosed herewith
Page 54 of 80
ROOFTANK - GRP MODULAR CONSTRUCTION

Dimension : 3m X 5m X 2.5m (L x W x H)
A roof tank of GRP construction shall be provided at the roof. This tank shall supply water to the water
closets (WCs) located at floors L1 to L3 by gravity.
The roof tank shall be fed from the main underground storage tank at the basement.
An illustration of the water tank modular panel assembly type is as follows:
Page 55 of 80
III.
COLD WATER TREATMENT

Water from the storage tank is treated with a UV sterilizer. Ultraviolet light wavelengths are shorter than visible
light and carry more energy enough to kill microorganisms. Germicidal ultraviolet lamps produce short wave
radiation that is lethal to bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms that can be present in water.
These lamps are widely used for disinfection in hospitals, veterinaries, manufacturing and food processing plants
and laboratories to protect personnel and prevent cross infection.
As water passes through the unit, the UV light rays penetrate the water, killing bacteria, inactivating viruses,
making the water 99.9% safe. Among others, some of the organisms destroyed by the UV unit are:
Streptococcus
Dysentry Bacilli
Influenza
Staphylococcus
Fecal Coliform
Salmonella
Legionella Pneumonia
Bacteriophage (E. Coli)
Maintenance is simple: change the bulb and clean the quartz sleeve once a year.
IV.
COLD WATER BOOSTER SET

Acold water booster set is used to pressurize the cold water
supply
The booster set shall comprise of the following:
- Four vertical pumps operating in cascade mode
- Common suction and delivery manifold
- Isolating and non-return valve for each pump
- Control panel
The 4 pumps are mounted on a base frame fitted with
common suction manifold, non-return valves, strainers and a
common discharge manifold.
Each pump is fitted with a frequency inverter drive to modulate the rotation speed of the pump to achieve the
set pressure. The pumps operate on a cascade mode and each pump kicks in as the demand rises.
The overall peak water demand is catered by three pumps running at full speed. The fourth pump operates
as a backup should any of the other two pumps fail.
Pumps are sequenced to equalize their running times.
V.
COLD WATER DISTRIBUTION NETWORK
Page 56 of 80
The boosted cold-water distribution shall be achieved by a reticulation consisting of a main line and tap off
branches.
The pipes shall be in Poly Propylene - Random rated minimum of 1.5 times the test pressure.
Isolating valves shall be allowed at different locations on the main feeder pipe to increase serviceability in
case of maintenance interventions or pipe damage. All isolating valves shall be readily accessible through
inspection manholes. The joining of the pipes and the fittings shall be achieved using butt-welding
technique.
Water hammer arrestors, air relief valves, strainers and pressure regulating valves shall be provided at different
locations where required.
VI.
TERMINAL PIPING
The terminal piping system to be used shall be of the star configuration, using manifold for hot &cold water.

Reinforced concrete structure with fibreglass leak proof tank, with bottom slopping towards pump
suction
Valve chamber to house the non return and isolating valves
Access man holes These shall be supplied and installed by the tank builder. They should be
preferably made of cast iron and should be double seal.
GREASE INTERCEPTOR
Page 60 of 80
Grease Traps separate low viscosity mineral liquids (oil and fat) that are not soluble in water. Need to
separate these substances is to prevent them from entering the drainage system where they cause serious
blockages.
Furthermore these substances once allowed to enter the natural soil drainage system, are endangering
ecological system.
Also oil floating on the top of the wastewater prevents the correct operation of the sewage treatment plants.
Grease traps relies on the principle that the density of the liquids are different, keeping fat and oil on the top
of the water.
Special design and position of the baffle plates inside the trap provides draining from the bottom, keeping
unwanted substances on the top of the drain. Some bigger models are equipped with the valves on the level
of grease accumulation in order to discharge it from the trap without empting the system.
Grease traps are equipped with the strainer, which collects larger solids or garbage in order to prevent
blockage of outlet pipes and gullies. These strainers are manufactured with different sizes of outlet holes
depending on use.
The Grease Traps are installed into a waste water line before gullies and they can be positioned inside or
preferable outside the room allowing thoroughly cleaning and eliminating smell and mess associated with
that.
FIRE PROTECTION FACILITIES

X.
FIRE HOSE REEL AND HYDRANTS

The fire fire-fighting network shall be pressurized with a booster set comprising of 2 main electrical
centrifugal pumps and a jockey pump mounted on a common manifold. The jockey pump shall ensure
pressurization of the fire fighting water line at all times. The main electric fire fighting pumps shall operate
only when the pressure of the line drops due to usage of fire hose reel or hydrant.
The fire fighting booster set will be sized so that the 4 hose reels at the most unfavorable part of the network
have a minimum pressure of 2.5 bars and two fire hydrants fed with a flow of 60 m3/hr at a pressure of 3
bars each.
Page 61 of 80
Fire hose reels shall be provided to cover the buildings and shall be positioned at strategic locations to
facilitate fire fighting.
Oblique type landing valve fire hydrant hydrants shall be strategically located for backup to fire hose reels in
case of a major fire outbreak. The fire hydrant hoses and nozzle shall be located near the hydrant and shall
be housed in a proper corrosion resistant cabinet.
Fire blankets are an important fire protection item especially in kitchen applications. They are generally
constructed from woven fiberglass and are available in several sizes, it is important to select the right size of
blanket based on the risk area.
Portable fire extinguishers of the required type shall be provided in all areas. Fire escape signage shall also
be provided as per the relevant norms. The types of fire extinguishers usually found in industrial, commercial
and residential environments are listed below.
Page 62 of 80
XI.
AUTOMATIC SPRINKLER SYSTEM

Fire sprinklers are widely recognized as the single most effective method for fighting the spread of fires in
their early stages - before they can cause severe injury to people and damage to property.
A fire sprinkler system is an active fire protection measure, consisting of a water supply system, providing
adequate pressure and flow rate to a water distribution piping system, onto which fire sprinklers are
connected.
Wet pipe sprinkler systemis considered for our application and is generally installed more often than all other
types of fire sprinkler systems. They also are the most reliable, because they are simple, with the only
operating components being the automatic sprinklers and the automatic alarm check valve. An automatic
water supply provides water under pressure to the system piping.
When an automatic sprinkler is exposed for a sufficient time to a temperature at or above the temperature
rating, the heat sensitive element (glass bulb or fusible link) releases, allowing water to flow from that
sprinkler.
A fire pump is a vital part to a sprinkler systems water supply. The pump intake is connected to the
underground water tank. The pumps provide water flow at a higher pressure to the sprinkler system risers.
The jockey pump is a small pump connected the fire sprinkler system and is intended to maintain pressure in
a fire protection piping system to an artificially high level so that the operation of a single fire sprinkler will
cause an appreciable pressure drop which will be easily sensed by the fire pump automatic controller,
causing the fire pump to start.

AIR CONDITIONING
XII.
GENERAL
The purpose of the air conditioning and mechanical ventilation systems is to create a comfortable and safe
environment for the occupants as well as providing effective heat removal from M&E equipment.
Maintaining good indoor air quality in terms of temperature, humidity, air movement, air filtration
in addition, contaminant control will be a prime concern.
The HVAC installation should not create undue noise and vibration to the premises. Special
attention will thus be given to noise and vibration control to ACMV equipment and sensitive
areas.
The following are the criteria to be adopted for the design of the air conditioning system:
External ambient conditions 33.1C db, 80% RH
The design criteria listed in Appendix 3 are adopted for the various areas in designing the air-conditioning
system.
Page 64 of 80
XIII.
ECO-FRIENDLY AIR CONDITIONING DESIGN

The air conditioning energy demand for a condominium complex can reach as high as 80% of the total
energy requirement. It is therefore crucial to look at the diverse factors that can unnecessarily increase the
heat load of a building
The major contributors to the building heat load, where the biggest scope for reduction will be:
Heat gain through the glazing
Heat gain through roof transmission
Infiltration
The options considered for the fenestration are:
An insulated roof must be considered:

The maximum use of natural ventilation shall be envisaged for toilet ventilation. Where mechanical
ventilation is required; an individual extraction system shall be envisaged. The extractor fan shall be
of the ceiling cassette type to improve aesthetic properties of the bath room and to reduce noise. In addition
a vent cowl shall be used at the end of the ventilation duct to prevent condensation discoloring of the wall.
XVII.
CAR PARK EXTRACTION SYSTEM

Where natural ventilation is not possible, a mechanical extract system is required to achieve six air changes
per hour for exhaust fume extract and ten air changes per hour for smoke clearance.
The extractor fan must be rated to run at 300 degrees centigrade for a minimum of sixty minutes. The
ductwork distribution and the extract points shall be designed to extract 50% at high level and the remainder
at low level.
