Challenge	Brézillon was tasked with the design and construction of a building compatible with the ideas of the Grenelle de l’environnement, a French consortium of government, labor, industry and other related organizations with the goal of improving ecology, energy, sustainable development and territorial planning. An edict for the building was that it must be built with respect for environmental quality and safety, with the means to monitor and regulate facilities automatically in order to reduce energy costs. The construction company, working with CR System and BETHIC, had a development time of 14 months, including finalizing electric work and an automated HVAC system. The selected building automation control was meant to tie into multiple procedures and equipment. Read More
About Customer	Brézillon, an affiliate of Bouygues Bâtiment Ile-de France, is an industrial civil engineering, construction management and rehabilitation company located in Margny-lès-Compiègne, in the Picardy region of France. Founded in 1920 by André Brézillon, it became the first construction company in Picardy in 1945, joining the Bouygues group in 1993 as a general building division. Brézillon, working with system integrator, CR System of Pointoise, France, and design consultant, BETHIC of Enghien Les Bains, France, selected ICONICS’ GENESIS64™ HMI/SCADA suite, including AlarmWorX64™ Multimedia distributed, enterprise wide alarm notification system and WebHMI™ Webbased, real-time automation. The company also selected ICONICS’ ReportWorX™ real-time reporting, charting and analytics software. Read More
Solution	ICONICS GENESIS64 was installed to meet several of Brézillon’s requirements, including the ability to handle over 4,000 data points (including SAIA controls), integration with BACnet, ModBus and OPC communication infrastructures, and compatibility with Microsoft Windows®. The ICONICS software adheres to the consortium’s environmental goals, provides diagnostics and support, and helps maintain comfortable conditions for occupants. Brézillon has found the software to be a user friendly, intuitive, open, scalable and comprehensive building automation management tool. The customized graphical development through GENESIS64 allows non-technical users to be able to easily control their workspace environment. A panel-based PC at each office entrance allows occupants to control the temperature. With one click, a user can display current temperatures and can regulate any setpoints. In line with the company’s energy awareness initiatives, the system can also show which windows are open to help users decide whether additional air conditioning is needed. In addition, any supervisor-level changes are automatically reflected on the panel PCs. Read More Log in to view content
