Why do we make Building energy models? • To estimate energy usage in a new building • To evaluate efficacy of a retrofit • To explore a theoretical design • To match the building code • MPC – Reduced order model
Retrofit using B.E. modeling • Model building • Simulate changes • Initiate changes • Calibrate model • Re-simulate • Change more building settings • Recalibrate
What does a model look like? • Building Geometry Slide credit : Ronxgin Yin, DRRC
Does it make sense to use sensors to create better building models? How is this different than information that could be gleaned from sensors alone?
Empirical building adjustment • Analyze data from sources • Make intelligent choices about adjusting building settings • Measure results • Produce counterfactual from data • Compare actual to predicted • Make more adjustments
How good is empirical analysis? MAE: Mean Absolute Error RMSE: Root Mean Squared Error MAPE : Mean Absolute Percent Error RMSPE: Root Mean Squared Percent Error RelBias: Relative Bias
empirical modeling and software control • Measure, predict responses of sensor streams • Search for faults • Search for mis-labeled streams • Institute rule based control? • Apply machine learning? • Apply Model Predictive Control?
How do we use data richness to develop better quantative ways to control the building? How will this succeed over the need for simulating the building and adjusting it manually?
Where does the pareto optimum occur with respect to sensor and data density in a building? When does additional data not yield more benefit?
