Objective
The BUILTECH research programmeaims to develop, test and document an integrated global building energy management system combining intelligent decision making systems, (DMS), and smart card techniques and based on recent local operating network, (LON), technology which is suitable for existing buildings equipped with conventional energy facilities, as well as for new buildings without construction modifications.
The proposal describes an interrelated set of research actions under the following specific objectives:
1. To develop near optimal decision support algorithms by making use of an advanced fuzzy logic generic method to obtain rules adapted to the building automation demands.
2. To combine smart card for access control of energy equipment and fuzzy techniques with very recent local operating network technology for data transmission in order to develop an advanced, easy to install and operate hardware configuration designed especially for existing buildings, but also easy to incorporate in new buildings.
3. To study appropriate techniques that will combine and use the developed smart control system with conventional HVAC and building equipment as installed in existing buildings and not only with new technologies to be installed in new
4. To test with appropriate experimental actions the potential of the developed system for energy conservation in existing as well as new buildings.
5. To integrate the results of the programmeinto a set of guidelines for efficient facilities management in buildings to be used by designers, developers and building management systems and contribute to the reduction of the energy consumption by up to 25 per cent compared to a conventional control system.
The final products of the present research will be the following: 1. A fully tested and optimized industrial controller hardware for buildings, with local operating network, (LON), technology, controller and optimized decision making system, (DMS), software based on fuzzy algorithms and a generic adaptation learning method, specific smart card reader for access control, interface device with conventional and non conventional HVAC systems and building facilities. The controller will be appropriate to collaborate with conventional and non conventional energy and environmental building facilities and thus it will be appropriate for retrofitted and newly constructed buildings. The controller will be fully documented.
