- Title: Holistic approach for energy management in buildings
- Description: This use case is developed by the project Design 4 Energy. The aim is to support an Integrated Evolutionary Design Methodology that allows the stakeholders to predict the current and future energy efficiency of buildings (both at individual level and neighbourhood level) and make better informed decision in optimising the energy performance at building life cycle level, including operation and maintenance.
- Data Domain(s): Building Products, Building Devices, Building Control, Energy
- Objectives:
- Manage various building design scenarios with support for evolutionary design methods
- Support the whole life-cycle of a building
- Tools and methods for decision support
- Stakeholders: Building/Facility Owner, Architect, Operations Manager, Energy Manager/Auditor, Engineer HVAC
- Requirements:
- LD benefits: Different data sources can be linked together to an Dynamic Energy Efficient oriented Building Design and Information Platform (DEEBDIP)
- Challenges: Integration of required data, interoperability
- Data is Processed during BLC Stage: Planning and Design, Construction, Commissioning, Operation and Retrofitting/Refurbishment/Reconfiguration
- Uses Data Generated During BLC Stage: Planning and Design, Operation, Retrofitting/Refurbishment/Reconfiguration
- Data Standards Used: CityGML, IFC, eeBIM, GAEBXML, KNX, LonWorks, EnOcean, BACnet
