Abstract: Building Energy Simulation can be used for control design, but it is very seldom re-used in control development, commissioning and performance follow-up in operation. This paper describes the investigation of the coupling between a software instance of a real Building Management System with two simulations tools. Comparison between the two solutions is provided and the main challenges are analysed. Full demonstration of the co-simulation capacity is achieved, opening the door for further works on pre-commissioning, testing third parties advanced control solutions and advanced fault detection and diagnostic in operation.
Keywords: Co-simulation, Building Management System, Commissioning, Test and Validation, Analytics.
