FM & BMS

Palazzo Meridia

The Palazzo Meridia, Nexity Ywood’s new demonstrator building, is an exemplary model to be followed in the field of sustainable construction. Located in the Eco-Valley of Nice, it is the tallest wooden office building in France with its 35m height.  Palazzo Meridia, the first positive energy and low carbon building, has been awarded the silver level by the Mediterranean Sustainable Building (BDM) initiative and is BBCA certified.

Aim

Build the tallest wooden office building in France in accordance with BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) guidelines, the world’s most widely used building certification standard for environmental performance.

Operate a positive energy building capable of producing the electricity it consumes using photovoltaic energy.

Solution

With specifications that include strict environmental constraints, the choice of our partner INEO based in Aix en Provence naturally turned to Panorama E2 known for its reliability, robustness and versatility.

Customer benefits

In addition to offering conventional BMS/FM and HVAC, the Panorama solution is an asset in limiting the building’s energy consumption and thus actively contributing to achieving the ten-year energy performance contract (EPC) objectives.

Hotel de la Cité (Lyon)

At a time when ecological and sustainable solutions have become vital to better manage our energy needs, Lyon’s Hôtel de la Cité naturally opted for an open and innovative Building Management System (BMS). The global solution, including the Panorama E² SCADA product from Codra, was installed by Axima-Seitha using products from the control system vendor Sauter. Coupled with the hotel’s booking management system, the BMS has reduced the building’s energy consumption and consequently operating costs by some 20%.

Aim

Energy efficiency : Reduction of the building’s energy consumption.
Combining SCADA software with the hotel’s booking management system.

Solution

Why choose Panorama E²? Saves time. Saves money. Saves energy. The solution offers real added value to customers concerned about the environment and our future generations.

Customer benefits

20% reduction in operating costs.
Innovative technical solution with positive environmental impact.

Amiens-Picardie University Hospital (CHU)

Achieving excellence in hospital infrastructure management

The Amiens-Picardie CHU is the public health referral facility of first resort in the Picardy region. The new CHU building constructed on the south Amiens site was inaugurated in 2014. The BMS/FM for the brand new 122,000 square meter hospital facility is based on the Panorama E2 SCADA solution developed by Codra.

Aim

Use an open, non-proprietary, hardware-agnostic tool. This allows the contracting companies more freedom in their choice of equipment.

Solution

With the principal technical criteria specified as openness, native BACnet IP, and a customizable HMI, “Panorama E2 came out on top as the best technological choice.”

Customer feedback

The Panorama solution gives us detailed monitoring of the facilities and paves the way for a qualitative shift in terms of safety of operations, thanks notably to the sophisticated alarm objects implemented in the solution. We are now looking at further ways of harnessing additional possibilities offered by Panorama.

Lille Metropole Stadium

The Grand Stade Lille Métropole or Lille Métropole Stadium, inaugurated August 17, 2012, chose Panorama E² SCADA to manage and control the stadium’s entire FM/BMS system. The Eiffage Group was responsible for the construction of the Lille Métropole Stadium as part of a public-private partnership (PPP) with the Lille Metropolitan Area Urban Community. ELISA – a commercial subsidiary of EIFFAGE (Eiffage Lille Stadium Aréna) – has a 31-year license to operate the facility.

Aim

Single SCADA system for all applications.
Deliver effective analytics on stadium’s power consumption.

Solution

“Panorama had the edge thanks to its object-oriented development approach. Once a component is created, it can simply be modeled and then directly instantiated. This represents an important time-saving factor for the development of the current application, and also for future applications.”

Customer benefits

Powerful energy efficiency solution.
User comfort and ergonomics.
Centralized information, commands, and applications.
Designed for efficiency of operation and maintenance.

Orange Data center (Val de Reuil)

Orange, the incumbent French telecoms operator has built a giant data center in Val-de-Rueil, south of Rouen. The initial building, with a floor area of 17,000 square meters, houses the operator’s servers along with those of its customers. This latest-generation data center is equipped with a Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) system based on Codra’s Panorama solutions. The system offers energy savings of almost 30% compared to earlier generation facilities, equating to the energy consumption equivalent of some 30,000 domestic consumers. These advanced solutions have made Orange one of the most effective companies worldwide in bringing down its carbon emissions.

Aim

Reduce energy consumption.
Reduce carbon emissions.

Solution

“Panorama E² is the cornerstone of our Data Center Infrastructure Management system (or DCIM).”

Customer benefits

Single DCIM solution makes for total integration.
Intuitive, ergonomic SCADA interface streamlines operator intervention.
Functional and energy assessments.

TERA-1000 CEA DAM Supercomputer

The TERA-1000 facility belonging to the CEA‘s Military Applications Department (DAM) is equipped with a latest-generation Panorama E² Technical Management solution.

Aim

This installation, which is twice as powerful as the previous generation of supercomputers (TERA-100, launched in 2010), consumes five times less energy.

Solution

It foreshadows the future generation of Exascale class computers (1018 Flops) that are set to be put into service after 2020.

SNCF Technical Centers

The equipment department of SNCF (the French national railway operator) has embarked upon a nationwide energy savings program which aims to track consumption as closely as possible, targeting the facilities that consume the most significant amounts of energy within each Technical Center. The SNCF Charentes Périgord technical center in Saintes (in the Charente-Maritime region of France) set up a Panorama E² SCADA system in 2011 to manage BMS, Facilities Management, and the center’s processes. It also uses Panorama IT to generate reports and to analyze consumption.

Aim

To deploy an automatic telemetering system for water, gas, and electricity.
To identify the types of consumption, separating “process-based” consumption from consumption related to building operations.

Solution

“The reasons that made us want to work with Codra included the easy learning curve with Panorama E², its object-oriented development technology, and the application’s ongoing evolution both in terms of variables and specific requirements.”

Customer benefits

Optimization of energy costs.
Return on investment in under a year!
