Forschungsförderungsprojekt
The proposed research effort aims at the development of a seamless multi-layered architecture for concurrent energy, performance, and occupancy data acquisition and processing in buildings. Moreover, the essential potential of such a high-resolution, integrated, and dynamic data-acquisition for supporting energy and performance optimization applications are to be demonstrated via system development and prototypical implementation. Monitored data streams are i) Energy use (submetering), ii) Indoor environment, iii) External environment, iv) Occupants¿ presence, actions, and feedback, v) Environmental control systems states, vi) Economical information. There is currently a paucity of systematic and comprehensive implementations of monitoring infrastructures in buildings. Thus, the critical benefits that will result from the integrated and concurrent analysis of all building data streams are not exploited. These benefits are i) Energy optimization through improved management of technical building systems. ii) Increased awareness of building users regarding their impact on buildings¿ energy use. iii) Early detection (and recovery) of deficiencies and malfunctions in energy systems and devices, thus effectively supporting a preventive maintenance regime. iv) Successive building performance improvement and optimization via the analyses of dynamically updated building energy and performance data bases. v) Long-term accumulation of empirical information on buildings' energy and environmental performance toward improving the design, construction, and operation of existing and new buildings. The project is expected to span over two years, jointly executed by Vienna University of Technology (VUT, Austria) & National Cheng Kung University (NCKU, Taiwan). The research will demonstrate the structure and functionality of the dynamic multi-layered data acquisition and processing via a prototypical realization. The results (including testing and evaluation protocols) will be structured in terms of a model process for the installation and operation of comprehensive real-time energy, environmental, and occupancy monitoring system toward improving the energy efficiency, ecological sustainability, and occupational quality of buildings.
