(Building) Energy

Modelling of energy for simulation, schemas for capturing energy data properties.

Examples of the type of data (open to extension)

• Energy Model
  • Total for site, sub-metering - floor, area, zone (lighting, heating, cooling, per device)
  • Power, generated energy, load power
  • Storage
  • Energy Tariff
    • Normal, peak
    • demand response
  • Solar Radiation
  • Energy Demand – Electrical, heat, cooling, internal load
  • Historical Consumption, future estimation
• Energy district model: energy modelling based on the metering data availability (primary or secondary data)
  • Demand side
  • Supply side
  • energy type

• Energy Simulation Model (has strong relation to other data domains)
  • Building Geometry
    • Components/Products (Insulation, windows, foundation, walls)
    • Boundary Entities
  • HVAC Systems
    • Behaviour – Scheduling (peak/off-peak)
  • Internal Loads (Electricity)
    • Lighting devices, electronic equipment
    • Behaviour – Occupancy patterns
  • Weather Conditions (typical weather parameters for specific location)
    • Location Information
    • External temperature, humidity, windspeed
      • Peak hot/cold temperatures
      • Daylight savings/average and extreme temperature periods
