A small-scale model house evaluation platform for building automation systems

摘要

Due to the positive effects concerning comfort, economic and ecologic reasons, building automation systems are increasingly integrated into nowadays buildings. Furthermore the investigations in cyber physical systems and the internet of things blur the line between the originally separate systems and lead to smart buildings cooperatively operated together with non-building automation systems. The BaaS ITEA 2 research project has recognized the need of a reference architecture in order to operate today's buildings and their complex service landscapes through a semantic description of the most important concerns such as: services, data points, building automation lifecycle. In order to provide a proof of concept, a technically and physically easy to overview building and a measure for teaching and illustration of the application of the BaaS reference architecture, we have built and developed a small-scale model house evaluation platform for building automation systems. This paper reports on the fundamentals the model house is based on, the realized concepts, the hardware, the software and the realized scenarios to show the application of building automation scenarios on the small-scale model house evaluation platform.
