Development of a Simulation Tool for the Intelligent Building Agents Project

Abstract
In the U.S., commercial buildings are responsible for approximately 36 % of total energy consumption, and the heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems make up about 52 % of that total. Improving building operations can significantly reduce the amount and cost of the energy used in the commercial building sector. The Intelligent Building Agents Laboratory (IBAL) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) was designed to emulate the air and hydronic systems in a small commercial building primarily to develop and study advanced control approaches for HVAC systems. This report focuses on the calibration and validation of a simulation tool that couples a model of the IBAL with a virtual building model. That tool, IBASIM, will be used to quickly evaluate different control approaches before selecting and implementing the most promising approaches in the IBAL.Citation
