Integrated Simulation Platform for Optimized Building Operations

In order to develop an integrated system that can optimise building operations, all facets of monitoring, control and reconfiguration need to be integrated. To achieve this, we need to develop an integrated system model, together with associated sub-system interfaces. This links the low-level wireless/wired systems monitoring with multi-level control, building information management and user-preference inputs. In this paper we describe an integrated simulation platform that partially fulfils such objectives. We detail through a case study an integrated simulation platform allowing testing, refinement and optimization of the design at an early stage. The paper provides a detailed simulation results and outlines the future works.
