Analysis of energy consumption in the building as the basis for development of themodular model predictive control system

Abstract

This paper gives a comprehensive report about development and validation of the dynamic model of an exemplary building, and comparison of energy consumption from the dynamic model with real energy consumption, as the basis for development of the modular Model Predictive Control (MPC) system. The model is created in IDA ICE professional building modelling software and its performance verified against energy consumption data from energy bills. Analysis and comparison of energy consumption will serve to equip the building with sensors and data acquisition equipment so as to include the whole building into one common Building Energy Management System (BEMS). One of the key parts for development of BEMS is dynamic model of the building, which is derived in this paper.
