CO-SIMULATION FOR BUILDING CONTROLLER DEVELOPMENT:THE CASE STUDY OF A MODERN OFFICE BUILDING
Original language description
We report our experience from using co-simulation in the context of a demanding building control study. The object under investigation was a 20'000 m2 newly-built office building in Munich. Considered was the control of radiant ceilings, heating convectors, mechanical ventilation, blinds and lighting for one floor that was subdivided in 28 building zones. We employed the Building Controls Virtual test Bed (BCVTB) middleware to couple the EnergyPlus building energy performance simulation software with the MATLAB numerical computing environment. We found that this set-up enables structured and flexible simulation studies, even for sophisticated control problems. On the downside, debugging of the simulations became more difficult and simulation times werefound to increase by a factor 2 to 10. Considerable know-how and effort are currently necessary to set up and operate the co-simulations. A newly developed software layer that helps minimizing this effort is presented.
