Information and communication technologies (ICT) offer immense potential to improve the energetic performance of buildings. Additionally, common building control systems are typically based on simple decision-making tools, which possess ability obtain controllable parameters for indoor temperatures. Nevertheless, accuracy such is improvable with integration advanced techniques embedded into software energy management tools. This paper presents design a system (BEMS), currently under...
Current climate change threats and increasing CO2 emissions, especially from the building stock, represent a context where action is required. It necessary to provide efficient manners manage energy demand in buildings contribute decarbonised future. By combining new technologies, such as artificial intelligence, Internet of things, blockchain, exploitation big data towards solving real life problems, way could be paved smart energy-aware buildings. In this context, aim paper present...
The use of Building Automation and Control Networks (BACN) is becoming increasingly widespread, largely due to the benefits end-users energy management companies controlling systems installed in buildings. At same time, digitalisation buildings increasing every day with adoption technologies such as Information Modelling (BIM), allowing a high level digital control all phases building life cycle. However, although BIM spreading obtain model building, it not very common include existing...
Monitoring systems are one of the pivotal diagnosis tools for analysis energy performance in buildings. They provide on-site information and support decision making process. Moreover, monitoring allow calculation comfort indicators, despite, large buildings do not a single sensor network. So, with aim integrating multiple to assessment, this paper presents combination thereof into nearly Zero Energy Building order evaluate set Key Performance Indicators. This study demonstrates importance...
The paper presents an innovative approach to the retrofitting of adaptive ventilated facade module developed in EU project E2VENT. E2VENT is targeted Optimal Adaptability and Heat Exchange for refurbishment existing buildings composed two main parts: adaptable smart modular heat recovery unit (SMHRU), which adjustable work within cavity, able recover from ventilation air, can preheat air winter while precooling it summer; a latent thermal energy storage system (LTHES) based on phase change...
Monitoring is one of the key points in any retrofitting project because, thanks to its results, both current and improved status can be analysed. Within this context, not only monitoring important, but also consistency coherency data, as well aggregated information required. In that sense, surveillance methods Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) play a pivotal role. Thus, iNSPiRe develops an automated system able store daily information, automatically calculate KPIs by means database...
Demand Side Management (DSM) programmes promote energy flexibility, cost reduction and resilience in both grids buildings, which can be supported by integrating Building Information Modelling (BIM) Automation System (BAS). Despite recent advances the field, research to date remains limited defining data requirement structures interoperable approaches exploit potential of this integration. This paper defines a set exchange requirements (ERs) support DSM using BIM BAS domains. The definition...
Monitoring networks are pivotal in energy efficiency environment taking into account that the analyses carried out based on data. Then, design and deployment monitoring systems, which ensure data quality, crucial. Nevertheless, sometimes it is difficult due to constraints, even harder Smart Cities. Mainly, costs cannot be afforded this type of project. In order solve issue, present paper proposes a low cost system, developed under European project R2CITIES. sense, only set dwellings equipped...
Private land mobile communications have experienced significant demand for increased capacity and new services, but congestion within the currently allocated 150 450 MHz bands has severely limited capability of present generation systems to meet this demand. The authors show use a transEuropean trunked radio system (TETRA) standard provide telecontrol service medium size power utility. They introduce concepts TETRALAN architecture support inside substation, TETRAWAN as backbone network....
The Wind-Flex project has developed a wireless indoor high bit rate OFDM modem, operating at 17 GHz. This modem is packet-radio based system with highly dynamic bit-rate range between 64 Kbit/s and 100 Mbit/s. Simulations for implementation have been done to evaluate the performance of using concatenated coding scheme in combination TDMA-based block repetition mechanism. A simple ARQ-like delay reduction procedure also presented. We show that can significantly enhance packet-oriented codec...
Monitoring is pivotal when talking about Smart Cities or districts. Analysis of performance requires information to evaluate the facilities from several points view. However, costs deploy a full monitoring network are high and nonaffordable in many cases. Hence, design becomes crucial reduce deployment and, at same time, allow key parameters. For that purpose, this paper describes low-cost IoT system collect data district. The sensor has been implemented under European project R2CITIES whose...
