Computerised intelligence in small scale home networks and beyond: opportunities for energy efficiency

In this report the possibility of realising smart applications usingmodern information and communication technologies on the residential scale is investigated from a number of viewpoints. The first viewpoint is a technological one emphasising the electronic hardware. Various possible processor and network architectures are discussed and...

Towards an Optimum Design of Energy Supply Systems

TNO-MEP developed and implemented an analysis method in a software tool called ODESSY. One of the major breakthroughs of the method is that it not only calculates possible energy saving achievements, but it will also generate an optimized heat exchanger network (HEN), including the positioning of heat pumps and CHP/utility heaters. The resulting...

SimTrain, a simulation package for BEMS education

The decrease of energy consumption in buildings is always a concern in all energy policies whether at the district or national level. The differente in energy consumption between buildings whose

Edificio project: A neuro-fuzzy approach to building energy management systems

It is well known that building installations for indoor climate control, consume a substantial part of the total energy consumption and that at present these installations use much more energy than required due to inadequate settings and poor control and management strategies. European building energy management is diffuse since design,...
