Buildings … • Where we spend 90% of our lives • Where we spend 70% of our electricity • Where we spend 40% of our energy • Where we spend 40% of our CO2 emissions • Where we spend a lot of our $’s • And once they are built all we can do … • is use their hard-wired capabilities, • decorate, or • “retrofit” SDB pretreat
How can we make them fundamentally more agile machines? • Programmable • Separation of the hardware capabilities (primitives) • From the universe of potential behaviors (applications) • Allow them to be tailored to our desires • To the full extent of the underlying capabilities • Become a good citizen of a broader ecosystem SDB pretreat

Automated metadata ingestion and representation for buildings (Arka) The problem: • Large manual effort needed to construct building metadata in order to run applications. • Lots of Different Disconnected metadata sources : • BIM model, BMS software, CAD drawings, BACNet discovery, etc. • Imagery, Occupant Interactions, … Solution : • Design adapters for ingest from these diverse information sources. • Automate rudimentary building metadata database formation • Refine over the lifecycle • Maintain a standard representation of a building against which applications can be written. • Have mechanisms for conflict resolution of ingested information • Explicitly represent uncertainty in the building representation

Basic Idea Avoid Region Avoid Region Avoid Region time control action human, environment constraints At step t decide on u(t) based on prediction on w(t),..., w(t+N), Y(t),…,Y(t+N) Two Combined Effects : Anticipation and Coordination
Model Predictive Control (MPC) • Advantages: • Predictive • Systematic: no if-then-else and extensive trial and error tuning • Multivariable, Model Based • Guarantees: Performance and Constraint satisfaction • Large success in the process industry • Flexible/ Easy to Integrate
Challenges • “System” Knowledge – Right Model Abstraction • Predictions are uncertain • Large-scale • Scalability • Limited computational resources • Certification www.mpc.berkeley.edu
