Building Behavior

Methods for capturing the behavior of building systems, devices and occupants. Generally used as inputs into building control and predictive simulations.

Examples of the type of data (open to extension)

• Device Scheduling Modelling (peak/off-peak, statistical models, etc.)
• Device State Measurement
  • Sensors – temp, air flow, water pressure, barometric pressure, carbon dioxide, power metering and analysis on the wire for device identification, etc.
• Occupancy Modelling
  • Schedules
  • Activity Models
• Occupancy ‘Measurement’
  • Sensors – presence (PIRs, CO2, etc.), identification (RFID, bluetooth, etc.), location (wifi, UWB, RFID) may require sensor fusion
  • Occupant provided data (e.g. input calendars)
