WHAT IS SMART BUILDING ?

The term "smart building" has recently been coined to cover
a variety of various technologies that are being

incorporated into buildings. therefore, Smart buildings aim
to encompass a logical, physically close grouping of smart
items in a similar way. Smart buildings, at their most basic

level, are digitally connected structures that combine
efficient building and operational automation with
intelligent space management to improve the user

experience, increase productivity, save costs, and decrease
physical and cybersecurity threats. Office buildings,

factories, shopping malls, hospitals, academic campuses,
stadiums, airports, military bases, and residential complexes
are all examples of smart buildings. The unifying thread that

runs through all these use cases is that they are all
locations where humans may cover and interact with one
another, use modern technology to execute their necessary

jobs, and profit from a digitally improved experience.

The subject of this case study is the Menara Telekom Malaysia Berhad, or
Telecom Tower (also known as Menara TM), is Telekom Malaysia's

headquarters. The 55-story 310-meter (1,017-foot) tower is designed like
a sprouting "bamboo shoot." The Federal Highway, Sprint Expressway, and

Jalan Pantai Baru run through it. It was designed by Hijjas Kasturi
Associates and built by PECD Berhad between 1998 and 2001.



Kuala Lumpur City Hall has classified the state-of-the-art construction
as a six-star smart building, with infrastructure for multimedia services

and high-speed internet, as well as an energy-efficient facilities
management system. Menara Telekom has an Integrated Building
Management System (IBMS) concept designed by Telekom Malaysia's
research and development division to deliver a productive and cost-
effective environment. The IBMS can integrate 11 essential mechanical
and engineering sub-systems across the tower, including the air-
conditioning and ventilation system, lighting control system, security

management, and lift and escalator systems.

FIRE PROTECTION

SYSTEM

The fire safety or fire protection system is an essential part for
business owners. A fire can ignite instantly and spread in
seconds. Companies investing in fire protection systems reap
significant benefits when the systems perform as expected.
These systems reduce building damage, expensive equipment,
documents and inventory. Fire suppression systems, smoke
detectors, and sprinkler systems are all types of fire protection
systems that help detect fires and protect.

Building occupants and equipment. Fire
protection systems include fire suppression,
sprinklers, smoke detectors, and other fire
protection devices that work together to
protect against fires. It's best to work with a
fire protection company that understands
your property's needs and offers a variety of
integrated protection systems

A fire protection system is a crucial
component of a building’s safety plan,
and without one, lives are at risk of
danger. Regardless, the fire protection
systems in Malaysia are mostly
equipped with complacent safety
specifications.
All system of the fire protection has
been designed and complied with the
standard and specification set by
BOMBA & UBBL

MENARA TELEKOM

1) AUTOMATIC SPRINKLER

An automatic sprinkler is a fire protection or
suppression device with a heat-activatable
element. The sprinkler will activate automatically
when the air temperature meets or exceeds the
temperature specified by the device. When this
happens, the sprinkler will release water over a
specific area.
An automatic sprinkler system is a network of water-filled pipes that begins at
your home water supply line and ends with sprinkler heads strategically placed
throughout your home. Sprinkler heads are brittle balls filled with a liquid that
expands when heated, causing the balls to rupture and releasing water into the
system. The water from the sprinkler head will cover the area where the fire is
located and will continue to run until firefighters can completely extinguish the
fire.

15

INSTALLATION PROCESS

Steps for Installing a Sprinkler System



1. Determine the building water pressure, then have a layout technician custom-
design the sprinkler system for each room.
2. A series of plastic or steel pipes is run inside the walls, floors and ceilings,
connecting to concealed sprinkler heads.
3. In the evident of a fire, the cover plate concealing the sprinkler head drops off
when temperatures reach 135 degrees.
4. The deflector drops down, then the sprinkler head opens and sprays water
onto the fire.
5. The sprinkler system is connected to a central alert center. When the system is
activated, it automatically notifies the local fire department.

16

BENEFITS OF AUTOMATIC SPRINKLER SYSTEM

Automatic sprinkler systems save lives
Your first priority should always be employee and visitor safety. In a fire emergency
an automatic sprinkler system suppresses flames, protecting people in proximity to
fire and allowing them to evacuate safely. Because sprinklers are instantly triggered
by rising heat and smoke, occupants are alerted to a fire even before they face
immediate danger giving precious extra minutes to evacuate.

Reduces Risk of Damage
A sprinkler system can not only save lives, it can reduce damage to your property if
functioning properly. Keep in mind that approximately 44% of system failures were
due to a lack of maintenance, so even though a sprinkler system exists in your
building, it doesn’t mean you can ignore maintenance necessities.

Relatively Inexpensive
For the amount of protection you’ll be getting and money you’ll be saving in the event
of a fire, sprinkler systems are very cost efficient. These systems are affordable, quick
to install, and provide peace of mind by fostering a safe work environment.

Reduce Insurance Premiums
Some business owners, in an effort to save a little money, won’t invest in the best fire
sprinkler system. However, investing in a sprinkler system can actually save money on
insurance premiums in the long run, not to mention protect a business from serious
fire damage.

Low Maintenance
Once installed, fire sprinkler systems are actually relatively low maintenance. They
only require inspections on an annual basis to determine their functionality, but other
than that they can last upwards of 20 years without any major repairs or upgrades
needed.

17

PROBLEMS OF AUTOMATIC SPRINKLER SYSTEM

System shutoff
Manual intervention
Damaged components
Lack of maintenance
Inappropriate systems for hazard.
Water damage is more than other systems
Good water supply required – either mains or tank, or both
Expensive to fit due to the cost of the heads, pumps, tanks, and
pipework required
Larger components, so these are more difficult to conceal on retro fit-
outs

2) WET RISER

Wet rising mains are fitted in tall buildings due to the excessive
pressures required to pump water to high levels.
Wet risers are used to supply water within buildings for
firefighting purposes. Providing a built-in water distribution
system means firefighters do not have to create their own
distribution system to fight a fire and prevents fire
compartments from being ruptured by hose lines running in
between.
Wet risers are charged with water from a pressurised supply, often
pumped from a storage tank, with landing valves at specified
locations on each floor.

19

INSTALLATION PROCESS

Wet Riser Installation

1) A Wet Riser System is installed with a Landing Valve at pre-specified
locations on each floor
2) Typically, a Wet Riser is installed up to and over 50m. The system will be
designed to provide high pressure flow at the upper floors.
3) A test riser is installed in parallel to the wet riser to allow the evacuation of
water from the Wet Riser for flow test purposes.
4) PRVs are installed at every floor to ensure the required optimum pressure is
delivered in the event of an emergency.
Dry Risers Direct will work with you to supply and install the pipework, PRVs
and test drain and connecting to the pump ready for commissioning.

20

BENEFITS OF WET RISER

The advantage of this is that fire fighters don’t need to create their own
pumping system or use long hose systems as there is adequate water
flow immediately available at each valve.
Wet risers are normally designed to be within fire fighting shafts or
protected stairways meant as fire escape routes. The landing valves
may be within these stairs, protected lobbies, or other enclosures
where the fire fighting crews will have open access. A wet riser system
fits the compartmentalization concept of building design, which
involves sealing off buildings as much as possible into sections to
contain the spread of fire and smoke.

PROBLEMS OF WET RISER

Wet risers are more prone to damage due to water leakage which can
cause rusting and corrosion and therefore pump inspection services are
recommended twice a year.

3) EXTERNAL FIRE HYDRANT

A Fire Hydrant System is an above-ground connection that provides
access to a water supply for the purpose of fighting fires. Fire hydrant
systems are an installation of pipes, water tanks, pumps, hydrant
outlets and hose reels.
External Hydrant System, where the hydrants are installed in the open,
like the city or town water mains, or hydrant systems installed in the
open areas in industrial or such other occupancies.

22

INSTALLATION PROCESS

Fire hydrant installation consists of a system of pip work connected
directly to the water supply main to provide water to each and every
hydrant outlet and is intended to provide water for the firemen to fight
a fire. The water is discharged into the fire engine form which it is then
pumped and sprayed over fire. Where the water supply is not reliable
or inadequate, hydrant pumps should be provided to pressurize the
fire mains.
The pipe network is always under water pressure. When operated for
fire extinguishing it will immediate feed water supply & main hydrant
pump will be started automatically.
To meet with minor leakages jockey pump is installed which
maintains the pipe net work under pressure. On drop of pre-set water
pressure due to leakages or any other reason, jockey will operate
automatically & stop at preset pressure.
On actual fire operation jockey pump being of small capacity cannot
maintain the pressure hence main pump will be operated
automatically & supply the rated water quantity to the system.
The system being automatic immediate water supply will be available
from all hydrant post.
A typical hydrant installation fed directly from JBA water main and
pressurized by fire pumps is shown as below.

23

BENEFITS OF EXTERNAL FIRE
HYDRANT

Fire hydrant systems are very strong and can be used on medium to large
fires. Hydrant systems have a long reach. Since the hydrant system is

extended, the hydrant can attack the fire from different angles.
This entire system requires little maintenance and has virtually no water
loss. In addition, the hydrant systems have a long durability and service life.
It is the most effective fire protection system ever discovered.

PROBLEMS OF EXTERNAL FIRE
HYDRANT

External fire hydrant it has to be manually activated. The flow of Fire
Hydrant System is so strong that, there are two men required to hold the
water hose.
Fire Hydrant System, may cause damage to the instruments or machines.
So we have to proper planning before installing any hydrant or sprinkler
lines.

4) HOSE REEL

The hose reel system is instant response firefighting equipment that can
be easily used by the public to contain the spread of fire. When used by
a person prepared to deal with such situations, this firefighting
equipment can save life and property,
Located within common areas of the building facilities (in a recessed or
exposed Fire Hose reel Cabinet, or within a duct), key areas within a
tenanted unit, the Fire Hose reel is easily identified and accessible for
use at all times. However, unlike the Portable Fire Extinguisher that can
be used for a single attempt to fight the fire, the Fire Hose reel can be
used as long as there is a water supply from the Fire Hose reel Water
Tank or direct PUB supply.

25

INSTALLATION PROCESS

1) Fire hose reels are not easy to install and it is highly recommended
that you use a licensed plumber.
2) Installation must be carried out in accordance with AS2441:2005.
3) Hose reel placement is covered by the Building Code.
4) Hose reels should only be connected to a dedicated fire line, not the
water mains.
5) Should be a minimum of 100mm clearance around all points of hose
drum.
6) Valve height should be between 900mm & 1100mm from floor level.
7) Valve must incorporate an interlock for nozzle.
8) Centre of hub should be between 1400mm & 2400mm from floor level.

26

BENEFITS OF FIRE HOSE REEL

1) Minimise manpower
One-man operated

2) User friendly
Minimal back pressure
Suitable for use by most people
Easy to operate/ be deployed

3) Mobility
Non-Kinking reinforced rubber about 30m long.
Hose extends from 15m to 30m

4) Strength
9m throw (water dispenses to distance of 9m)
Achievable at a flow rate of 0.4 litre/se

PROBLEMS OF FIRE HOSE REEL

It is only recommended for ordinary combustible materials
class fires only.
If there is a water cut it will not work.
It is not portable.

27

5) FIRE ALARM SYSTEM

The fire alarm system is designed to alert us in the event of an
emergency so we can take action to protect ourselves, our employees
and the public.
There are fire alarms in offices, factories and public buildings, they are
part of our everyday life, but are often overlooked until an emergency
occurs and could save our lives.
Regardless of the detection method, when the alarm is triggered, sirens
will sound to warn people inside of a possible fire and evacuate.
The fire alarm system may also include a remote signalling system that
could alert firefighters through a central station.

6) ARGONITE & WET CHEMICAL

Argonite is an inert gas mixture of Nitrogen and Argon. Both substances
are naturally occurring and present in the atmosphere. Argonite is safer
for use in occupied spaces and poses no threat to the environment,
because it has no ozone depletion potential and no direct global
warming potential.
Argonite extinguishes by means of reducing the oxygen content within
a room to the point at which a fire can no longer burn, but without
compromising the safety of individuals present. IG-55 must be used in
total flooding applications where the protected hazard is enclosed, or
for protection of equipment that is self-enclosed in order to maintain
the agent after discharge. There are no toxicological factors associated
with the use of Argonite. Argonite will not decompose or produce any
by-products when exposed to a flame from a fire condition.

MENARA TELEKOM

7) FIREMAN INTERCOM

Fireman Intercom System is a result of the advanced technologies
available today & uses the latest single chip microprocessor. It provides
features which are beyond the capability of the conventional 2-way
communication system.
The Fireman Intercom System provides a reliable communication
between the Master Console (Fire Command Centre) and the remote
Handset Stations. The system consists of a remote handset station and
Master control panel which is normally installed at the Fire Control
Room. The Intercom handset stations are located at staircase at every
level.
At the Master control panel, a call alert lamp shall flash with audible
signal when there is incoming call. Upon lifting the handset, the audible
signal will be silenced. The master control panel is also equipped with a
fault indicator unit to indicate the type of fault.

FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM IN
MENARA TELEKOM

8) PORTABLE FIRE EXTINGUISHER

Fires can only start in the presence of sufficient heat, oxygen, fuel
(combustible material), and a chemical reaction that is an actual fire.
Portable fire extinguishers release an extinguishing agent designed to
cool the fuel, remove or displace oxygen, or stop chemical reactions.
Fire extinguishers can put out or control a fire until help arrives. Use
portable units as first aid or emergency units on small fires or in the
early stages of a fire. Download time on most handhelds is only a few
seconds, so plan an escape route. Stay low and avoid breathing smoke
and extinguishing agents.
The universal classification system has four designations for fire
extinguishers: class A, B, C, and D. Based on the size of a fire to be
extinguished and the contained extinguishing agent. Combination
extinguishers are suitable for more than one class of fire and are
marked with more than one classification letter.

31

SPACE IMPLICATION OF FIRE PROTECTION
SYSTEM

To manage fire risks in buildings, the impact of fire risks is also reviewed to
set the context for fire safety measures.
Fire-safety and existence protection structures consist of constructing go
out structures, hearthplace-alarm structures, and hearthplace-
suppression structures. Fire-prevention codes specify the right renovation
and restore of those structures. Fire safety includes the set up and use of
structural and operational structures to decrease the effect of hearthplace
on human beings and property.
In addition, every floor space in the building must have each of the fire
protection system that required by the BOMBA certification for the safety of
the building.

32

PRINCIPLE & REGULATION OF FIRE

PROTECTION SYSTEM

The International Building Code (IBC) and International Fire Code (IFC) were
created by the International Code Council (ICC) with the goal of prompting all
areas of the US to comply with one set of standards. The purpose of the IBC and
IFC in terms of fire safety is to protect life and property from fire and other
hazards attributed to the built environment and to provide safety to fire fighters
and emergency responders during emergency operations. The IBC and IFC are
the most adopted and enforced model codes in the United States. The IBC and
IFC mandate the installation of in-building fire alarm EVAC systems in the
following occupancies.
• Assembly occupancies with an occupant Ioad greater than 1,000
• K-12 schools having an occupant load greater than 100
• Special amusement buildings
• High-rise buildings
• Covered mall buildings greater than 50,000 square feet in area and open mall
buildings greater than 50,000 square feet within the established perimeter line

Fire protection regulations in Malaysia are stipulated under the Malaysian
Uniform Building By-Laws 1984.
Fire safety philosophy
• To determine the passive and active fire prevention and protection in line
with the hazard study.
• To serve as a guide for Fire Authority (BOMBA) in reviewing the submission
plans.
UBBL requires all buildings to have minuet structural integrity based on its
usage
Elements of construction can only be effective as fire breaks if they have the
necessary degree of fire resistance
Criteria of fire resistance
• INSULATION facility to resist heat
• INTEGRITY (ability to maintain shape's structural properties preventing
passage of flames hot gases)
STABILITY (ability to maintain overall structural integrity
Should be read in conjunction with Fire Service Act 1988 - and all relevant

APPLICATION AND SYSTEM
A security system is a method of securing a building
by using a system of interconnected components
and devices. A security system is necessary in the
building because it allows electronic devices and
computers to control security. It will be much easier
to watch and alert when any emergency incident
occurs if it is monitored using a computer.

36

System in the


building

Electronic surveillance (CCTV)

A surveillance system is required for the building's
security because it will protect it from any threats. To
ensure the building's safety at all times, an electronic
surveillance system with CCTV cameras is installed.
Closed-circuit television (CCTV) is an abbreviation for
closed-circuit television, also known as video
surveillance. Unlike "regular" television, which is
broadcast to the general public, "closed-circuit"
television is only broadcast to a limited number of
monitors. CCTV networks are frequently used to detect
and deter criminal activity as well as to record traffic
violations, but they can be used for a variety of other
purposes.

Access Control System

It's a hugely important part of overall building security
that's meant to deter and reduce criminal activity as
well as violations of a corporation's security policies.
Access control systems are electronic systems that
allow authorized personnel to enter through a security
portal without the need for a security officer to review
and validate the person's authorization, which is
typically accomplished by presenting a credential to
the system. A security portal is a door or passageway
that serves as an entry point within a security
boundary.

37

SURVEILLANCE
BENEFITS OF ELECTRONIC SURVEILLANCE
(CCTV CAMERAS)
(i) Installing CCTV cameras in the building will serve as a significant
deterrent to criminals and anyone engaging in illegal activities. The
presence of CCTV cameras conveys a sense of danger and the
presence of the law, deterring anyone planning to commit a crime
from doing so.

(ii) It also aids in the monitoring of all activities that take place in the
building. Having the ability to monitor the activity that occurs inside
the building allows you to recognize anything that is going on
beneath the roof.

(iii) If any emergency situations or incidents occur, there will be a
record of the situation that can be brought to the local authority for
further action.

PROBLEMS OF ELECTRONIC SURVEILLANCE

(i) Privacy is an issue, particularly in the workplace. While it may be

in place to protect employees and customers, they may object to

being constantly recorded.

(ii) As mentioned in a previous post, security camera installation

typically entails running cables, as well as a significant amount of

labor and multiple products. While this is not always the case with

smaller systems or wireless cameras, the initial installation cost is

typically higher.

(iii) A security camera is typically a computerized device. The

camera may be rendered inoperable due to the impact of water or

placement in an inconvenient location, such as when wind blows

debris into the camera, lightning strikes nearby, or a malicious

person tampers with it.

who was in a specific area at the time of
the incident. (ii) Since the cards are so thin and
made of plastic, they easily break if
not handled properly. However, it is
replaceable, but getting a new card
can be time consuming and
inconvenient.

(iii) Access control systems can be
compromised by hackers. When a
system is hacked, an individual can
gain access to the information of
multiple people, depending on
where the data is stored.

THE INSTALLATION OF
ACCESS CONTROL

ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEM SYSTEM

1. The card were created for each users in the
company or the building so they can access to
the building anytime. In each cards it contains a
hidden identification code that particular to
each card holder. The card reader unit will read
each of the identification code of the system.

2.The electronic gate lock will be installed at the
requires place like for this building it was place
at the lobby entrance.

3. Then there will be cabling works to connect the
gate with the control panel and the alarm
signaling device which the alarm is to alert
unauthorized entry.

THE FUNCTIONS

The access control system is an
electronic system which
requires to utilises electronic
card or the tags to release the
door locks. The card are
needed to be carried by each
users in the building to be
presented in the Proximity of a
reader which is a card reader
devices. Usually it's located
adjacent to a door and
communicates with that reader
utilising encoded radio waves.

THE PRINCIPLES OF ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEM

Identification : Access control must include a way to identify a person in order to
be effective. The most basic identification capabilities will simply classify
someone as a member of a broad, ill-defined group of users who should have
access to the system.
Authentication : Authentication is required for identification. This is the process of
ensuring that the identity in use is genuine and that the right person is using it.
Authorization : The primary of authorization is the set of actions granted to a
specific identity. Authorization on a computer usually takes the form of read,
write, and execution permissions tied to a username to ensure it right user.

THE REGULATION OF ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEM

Every access control system has an online database that is vulnerable to
malware and other malicious hacking attempts. The access control system
must have an impregnable firewall that can withstand such attacks while
maintaining the organization's security. An access control security system is
also responsible for keeping the necessary files in a secure location and in
proper order so that they can be easily accessed by people with the
appropriate credentials. In a physical access control system, a physical access
compliance certificate also ensures this level of quality.
