Smart and Connected
The Johnson Controls - Cisco Alliance is a global collaboration focused on providing converged and integrated network systems (building, business
and specialty) and services to building owners, operators and tenants. These converged network systems and services increase energy efficiency, improve
safety and operational performance, maximise real estate portfolio value and enable the seamless incorporation of future technologies.
In December 2011, following a competitive tender selection, Cisco invited Johnson Controls UK to collaborate in the development of a solution, enabling the building operator to view, monitor and control both building services systems, and information technologies from a single user interface. The Building Management Systems (BMS) portion of the project, based on the Metasys™ platform, included the Network Control Engine (NCE) and Network Integration Engine (NIE); it also involved the installation of 132 electric and thermal meters and a complex lighting control system using the Wago/ DALI (Direct Addressable Lighting Interface) solution.
After six months of development, Johnson Controls began implementation of a new technology and succeeded in demonstrating
the solution at Cisco’s European Headquarters at Bedfont Lakes. Johnson Controls has successfully integrated its BMS MetasysTM with Cisco’s Service Delivery Platform (SDP). This enables the data from all of the selected building service systems – including the Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC), conference room controls, lighting controls and fire detection systems – to be available on their user interface.
Smart+Connected Communities
(S+CC) Program The S+CC project at Bedfont Lakes is part of a global program to install a set of S+CC offerings over a number of Cisco facilities including buildings in San Jose, Bangalore, Rolle and Dubai. The installation of these solutions within Cisco facilities provides the

S+CC development team with opportunities to enhance the solution and test value propositions.
The program includes tying local BMS to Cisco’s SDP for energy monitoring and scheduling integration, adding digital signage to the facilities to notify and inform building occupants, and providing IP phone control for conference rooms. For Bedfont Lakes, the project scope included the integration of these solutions into Building 9, an approximately 130,000 square foot facility housing office space, a large demonstration centre, and lab environments. The system would cover 29 conference rooms and include approximately 50 IP phones and 25 digital signs.
