SYSTEM MAPPING AND GENERATIVE HIERARCHICAL ZONE CONTROL STRUCTURE FOR A SCALABLE BUILDING CONTROL LOGIC

N. Sterl, A. Mahdavi, M. Schute

Abstract: New technologies in building control and in creasingly complex building systems have led to the need for more coordination and communica tion across involved engineering domains. This paper presents a structural mapping and control structure generation approach. Control elements, their effects and interactions between devices and zones are mapped within a modular zone concept. It links to the structure of BIM and IFC data models. A scalable and automatable method for the generation of a hierarchical closed-loop control scheme is developed. The computer aided tool provides inputs for the planning process, the structured approach allows integration into per formance-and optimization simulation work flows.
