Project description
A new way to enhance the energy performance of buildings
Enhancing the energy efficiency of buildings is a crucial step in emissions reduction. The EU-funded SMARTeeSTORY project proposes an innovative multi-domain methodology to monitor and optimise non-residential historic buildings’ energy performance. The approach integrates smart readiness indicator domains such as heating, ventilation and air conditioning, or HVAC, dynamic façade, lighting and electric vehicle charging. This system has been developed to automatically identify and classify different archetypes of building users, along with their specific preferences. SMARTeeSTORY ensures the incorporation of interoperable and cyber-secure software and hardware solutions. These solutions play a pivotal role in optimising the operation of technical building systems, facilitating adaptation to external environmental factors and adjusting to changing conditions based on occupants’ requirements. The project will demonstrate the system in three demo sites in Latvia, Spain and the Netherlands.
Objective
SMARTeeSTORY will propose an integrated building automation and control systems for monitoring and optimizing building energy performance according to an innovative multi-domain approach (integrating SRI domains: HVAC, Dynamic Faade, Lighting, EV), incorporating historical building requirements as well as human requirements by envisaging real-time and active user engagement. SMARTeeSTORY system will automatically detect (interacting with users via specific technologies identified in project early stages, e.g. smart home systems) the building users archetypes (via DRL algorithms) therefore specific preferences (SMARTeeSTORY database of users archetypes and preferences in smart buildings energy demand, comfort, etc.) informing the optimization and control services. Such a system will encompass interoperable and cyber-secure software (cloud-based middleware provided with multiple services for: monitoring & digital twin, analysis and prediction, optimization and control, embedding physics and data-based models for forecasting building energy performance and using Digital Building Logbook as a Common Data Environment) and hardware (advanced edge computers, multi-protocols data gateways, smart and automated sun blinds, smart sensors and actuators for Technical Building Systems integrated control according to occupancy and energy efficiency needs, smart products for user engagement) solutions fully enabling the three functionalities required for a building to become smart: i) optimization of operation of technical building systems, ii) adapting to the external environment (including energy grids), changing condition in relation to demands from building occupants. The system will be deployed at TRL 8 in three demo sites (non-residential historic buildings) identified in Latvia, Spain and The Netherlands to demonstrate buildings improved energy performance in correlation to the increased smartness rating.
