Analysis of an information monitoring and diagnostic system to improve building operations

摘要

This paper discusses a demonstration of a technology to address the problem that buildings do not perform as well as anticipated during design. We partnered with an innovative building operator to evaluate a prototype information monitoring and diagnostic system(IMDS). The IMDS consists of a set of high-quality sensors, data acquisition software and hardware, and data visualization software including a Web-based remote access system, that can be used to identify control problems and equipment and equipment faults. The information system allowed the Operators to make more effective use of the building control system and freeing up time to take care of other tenant needs.
