Real time management and optimized control

From Linked Building Data Community Group
  • Title: Real time management and optimized control
  • Description: Real time management and optimized control of HVAC systems of a building as a compromise between thermal comfort of the occupants and energy consumption. If a high level of thermal comfort is maintained at all times then energy cost will be high; and if energy consumption is minimised then thermal comfort has to be sacrificed.
  • Data Domain(s): Building data, energy, Building control, Devices, communication
  • Objectives:
  1. To control zone cooling set-points to reduce total energy consumption.
  2. To optimize outdoor air ventilation rate set-point to reduce cooling load. This can significantly improve indoor air quality.
  • Stakeholders: Building owner, facility manager
  • Requirements:
  • LD benefits:
  1. Automatic Reasoning on rules, if they are represented in SWRL
  2. Data integration
  3. Vocabularies
