How to Design a Command Center Steve Surfaro Group Manager Strategic Technical Liaison Panasonic System Solutions Company surfaros@us.panasonic.com
Agenda Design Step-by-step Hard drive-based recording system maintenance Display system graphical user interface (GUI)
Step-by by-step Command Center Deployment Planning, identify standards and Design Phase Scenario Building, Readiness Levels and Sequence of Operations Product Selection Establish Environmental Controls Provide Power Conditioning and Backup Deployment Establish Post Orders and Day-to to-day Operations Train Core Personnel Certify Command Center and Operation Identify Equipment Lifespan; establish replacement policy Train Additional Personnel
Command Center Planning Choose a Secure and Safe Site Consider Vulnerabilities and Risks Choose a space that is accessible to Entrance Facilities, but within another security boundary layer Set an expectation of Command Center lifespan Anticipate growth

Displays Plasma Most reliable (burn-in issue solved) Most realistic imaging in HD and Analog Modes Heat production / Power Consumption is relatively high LCD (Native and Rear-Projection) Reliable Less realistic than Plasma; poor imaging with Analog sources Heat production / Power consumption is low LCD Projectors Reliable (multi-bulb version) Less realistic than Plasma Heat production / Power consumption is low Best Size to Cost Ratio
Power / Heat Load / Heat Gain Step One Calculate the area in square feet of the space to be cooled, and multiply by 31.25 Area BTU = length (ft.) x width (ft.) x 31.25 Step Two Calculate the heat gain through the windows. If the windows don t have shading multiply the result by 1.4 North window BTU = Area of North facing windows (m. sq.) x 164 If no shading, North window BTU = North window BTU x 1.4 South window BTU = Area of South facing windows (m. sq.) x 868 If no shading, South window BTU = South window BTU x 1.4 Add the results together. Total window BTU = North window + South window Courtesy W. Tombling Ltd
Courtesy W. Tombling Ltd Power / Heat Load / Heat Gain Step Three Calculate the heat generated by occupants, allow 600 BTU per person. Occupant BTU = number of people x 600 Step Four Calculate the heat generated by each item of machinery - copiers, computers, ovens etc. Find the power in watts for each item, add them together and multiply by 3.4 Equipment BTU = total equipment watts x 3.4 Step Five Calculate the heat generated by lighting. Find the total wattage for all lighting and multiply by 4.25 Lighting BTU = total lighting watts x 4.25
Power / Heat Load / Heat Gain Step Six Add the above together to find the total heat load. Total heat load BTU = Area BTU + Total Window BTU + Occupant BTU + Equipment BTU + Lighting BTU Step Seven Divide the heat load by the cooling capacity of the air conditioning unit in BTU, to determine how many air conditioners are needed. Number of A/C units required = Total heat load BTU / Cooling capacity BTU Courtesy W. Tombling Ltd
