Optimize Building Use Comfort

• Title: Optimize Building Use Comfort
• Description: This use case is concerned with maintaining user comfort through control of HVAC and lighting based upon knowledge of the building thermal envelope, technical systems, flexibility of systems, prediction of use, and controlled configuration for comfort.
• Domain(s): Building Products (and Geometry), Building Devices, Building BehaviorBuilding Control
• Objectives: User Comfort Optimization
• Stakeholders: Building/Facility Owner, Occupants
• Requirements: Building owner requirements, Energy
• LD benefits:

1. Publishing of data as LD using structured vocab supports easier access to data sources.

• Challenges:

1. heterogeneity of data
2. developing complete model of thermal envelope (where it does not exist)
3. heterogeneity of building control protocols for data access and control
