A web-based Building Automation and Control Service

The reduction of the environmental impact in the building sector is necessary in achieving global sustainability. In this context, Building Automation and Control systems provide the opportunity for efficient monitoring and control facilities’ subsystems, such as the heating and cooling system, the ventilation system, the hot water system, the lighting appliances among others, with the goal of improving thermal comfort as well as energy efficiency. This paper presents a Building Automation and Control system aiming at facilitating data-driven monitoring of complex, multi-storey facilities, by disagreggating total consumption of the different floors and rooms of the building and offering advanced insights and benchmarking indicators. The service is showcased with a use case application on a real building, where the benefits of the service for the energy manager are highlighted.
