Design and Simulation of a Control Model for the Energy-Saving Management of Buildings

Abstract

Increase in technology and population has created a necessity for further research on energy-saving so new techniques are applied and tested world-wide. Building automation system and Building Energy management system are one of them. A large amount of energy is wasted due to human behavior and it directly affects the energy usage. In educational institutes a lot of energy is wasted due to different human behavior which results in a lot of energy wastage and it is difficult to encourage occupants to use efficiently. A control model is made consisting of a air-conditioning system, heating system, lighting system and ventilation system. It also includes feed forward loop which is used with PIC controller to check data continuously and if threshold levels are crossed, certain decisions are taken accordingly. In order to assume the savings after applying automation, consumption patterns of a lab have been made with the help of timetable and occupancy level. Some conditions are assumed where a certain percent of appliances are turned for 8 hrs and then they are compared with consumption patterns in order to compare the difference and analyze and assume the results. After comparing it is estimated that in all conditions where human behavior vary a large amount of energy can be saved.
