▼ Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) units in commercial buildings account for a huge portion of global energy consumption. There is an ever growing need to optimize the energy consumption of an HVAC system along with a system-of-subsystems entity that must be accurately integrated and controlled by the building automation system to ensure the occupants' comfort with reduced energy consumption. To achieve these goals, it is necessary that accurate models be developed that describe the internal dynamics of the system to employ a satisfactory control architecture. This thesis work aims at provide sufficiently accurate models which are able to estimate the temperature, humidity and Carbon Dioxide dynamics in an occupied room. A simplified linear model which describes the dynamics was developed by reformulating the physical equations into a linear regression format. This was followed by the employment of a suitable identification technique to estimate the physical parameters of the system. The second part of this thesis involves the formulation of a two level control architecture to optimize comfort and energy. In this work we propose a model-based framework to maximize the comfort of the occupants using the Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) index. In particular, the set-point control is based on a predictive controller based on a joint optimization of PMV and energy consumption; the low-level Proportional Integral HVAC controllers are autotuned based on simulations of a thermal model. A simulation based validation via a three room test case is presented: the results show the potential for good temperature tracking with a high degree of comfort while also reducing overall energy consumption.

▼ Today’s stadiums face increasing competition from home-viewing options, powered by better camera angles and multiplatform, multimedia experiences. Concurrent with these trends is the increase in computing power and near ubiquity of the smartphone. These technological developments create new opportunities to measure real-time space use. The service or product that can measure (real-time) space use is called a ‘
smart tool’. There are some studies about
smart tools, but these are not focussing on the integration in stadiums. This resulted in the following research question that will be addressed in this research: which
smart tools can be identified in stadiums, and how can the use of these
smart tools be optimized? Due to this nascent character of the research topic qualitative research is conducted, whereby literature is reviewed in combination with an exploratory case study. The case that is studied is the Johan Cruijff Arena in Amsterdam, the stadium has the ambition to be the most innovative stadium by 2020. Based on the case study, nine different
smart tools are identified, whereby the main goals of the tools are to reduce costs and to support user activities. Based on the outcomes of this research it can be concluded that the integration of
smart tools in stadiums are in their ‘infancy’. From these nine
smart tool projects, only five were in use at the moment of the research, the other four were still under development. As a result, concrete numbers of the effects of integrating of
smart tools are missing. However, the current experience of integrating
smart tools in stadiums did generate some valuable insights on how the use of the tools can be optimized by linking the findings to innovations from practice. Recommendations are provided to guide stadium managers in the effective management of
smart tools. Lastly, the research stresses out the importance of future research on this topic

A Prediction and Decision Framework for Energy Management in Smart Buildings.

▼ By 2040, global CO2 emissions and energy consumption are expected to increase by 40%. In the US, buildings account for 40% of national CO2 emissions and energy consumption, of which 75% is met by fossil fuels. Reducing this impact on the environment requires both improved building energy efficiency and increased renewable utilization. To this end, this dissertation presents a demand-supplystorage- based decision framework to enable strategic energy management in smart buildings. This framework includes important but largely unaddressed aspects pertaining to building demand and supply such as occupant plugloads and the integration of weather forecast-based solar prediction, respectively. We devote the first part of our work to study occupant plugloads, which account for up to 50% of demand in high performance buildings. We investigate the impact of plugload control mechanisms based on the analysis of real-world data from experiments we conducted at NASA Ames sustainability base and Carnegie Mellon University (SV campus). Our main contribution is in extending existing demand response approaches to an occupant-in-the-loop paradigm. In the second part of this work, we describe methods to develop weather forecastbased solar prediction models using both local sensor measurements and global weather forecast data from the National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).We contribute to the state-of-the-art solar prediction models by proposing the incorporation of both local and global weather characteristics into their predictions. This weather forecast-based solar model plus the plugload-integrated demand model, along with an energy storage model constitutes the weather-driven plugloadintegrated decision-making framework for energy management. To demonstrate the utility of this framework, we apply it to solve an optimal decision problem with the objective of minimizing the energy-related operating costs associated with a smart building. The findings indicate that the optimal decisions can result in savings of up to 74% in the expected operational costs. This framework enables inclusive energy management in smart buildings by accounting for occupants-in-the-loop. Results are presented and discussed in the context of commercial office buildings.

▼ In recent years, there has been a rapid growth in what is called Internet of Things (IoT). IoT can be described as the interconnectedness of all things, where we as people are able to interact with our physical environment using wireless communications. One of the core wireless technologies that has been a driving force in the growth of IoT is Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). This thesis focuses on proximity-based and location-based services using BLE beacons and smartphone devices. Moreover, this thesis proposes that BLE beacons are capable of providing proximity and location-based services, both indoors and outdoors with a suitable level of precision and accuracy. Proximity and location using BLE beacons are realized using a Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) technique. The results of numerous experiments provide sufficient evidence that BLE beacons are a viable and highly scalable option for such services in the framework of IoT.

▼ Context Digitalisation enables students to study virtually everywhere. However, demand for study space on the campus remains high and is even increasing. Additionally, students place higher demands on the quality and availability of facilities (Valks, Arkesteijn, den Heijer, & Van de Putte, 2016, p. 15). However, recent research on Dutch campuses (Campus NL, 2016) shows several problems were identified regarding the alignment of campus space. (1) The unpredictable nature of demand for campus space makes it difficult to align demand with supply. (2) Another reason for not being able to comply with campus space demand is a result of problems in finding a suitable study space. Objective Preference Function Modelling already proved its potential in designing accommodation strategies. Furthermore, there is the need to involve a greater number of stakeholders and a need to improve the usability of the modelling technique. A
smart tool presents opportunities to improve the user involvement in the management of design accomodation. As a result of the scientific gap, this thesis will explore these opportunities by developing a
smart tool which provides information on study space while simultaneously generating information to support campus management.MethodsFor this thesis an engineering design process is used. Literature research is used in this research to gain understanding of the design problem and its users. With this knowledge, a
smart tool will be developed along a iterative sequence of prototype evaluations to support the design process. Design user involvement will be established by two prototype evaluations evaluations with the use of interviews. For the evaluation of the proposed
smart tool an assisted approach is utilized. In this evaluation, the data collection methods Task load index and Post-Experience interview are used. A Task Load Index (TLX) measures cognitive workload by assessing how much mental effort a user expends whilst using a prototype or deployed system. While individual Post-Experience interviews are a quick and inexpensive way to obtain subjective feedback from users.ResultsAs a result of the first user interviews it was established that users had difficulty with understanding how the system works and which values needed to be entered. Therefore, the primary focus for version 2 was finding ways to improve understandability and usability of the system. One implementation of this, was to improve navigation by having all the input fields on the same tab in excel. Therefore, User forms were used, allowing to have a better overview of the system by preventing the need to switch between tabs. The database structure represent the storage (back end) of information which is needed to operate the proposed
Smart Tool. To visualize this an Entity Relationship (ER) model has been constructed in MySQL workbench. The ER model shows all the tables relevant to the proposed
Smart Tool. A wireframe model is constructed with use of the program Balsamiq. A wireframe is chosen in this stage of the design because…

▼ This report discusses the ambition of EDF, a French electricity provider, to offer new services to its customers. With the emergence of the smart grid that will be operational in 2020 in France, there are several opportunities that have to be taken. One of them is to be able to offer a suitable monitoring system to its customer. This study tried to emphasize the important aspects and features that are required in such a system. Several solutions that are currently being commercialized in France have been analyzed. A grading has been made according to the technical functionalities and the business models have been analyzed. Recommendations for EDF have also been made in order to help the company to choose the right monitoring system.

▼ The cost of delivering social programmes (health, education, national security etc.) in all OECD countries is rising to an unsustainable level. The Internet of Things and increased connectivity are increasingly being seen by public and private sector organisations as a way of reducing costs and improving service provision. As ICT progresses from existing in standalone devices to all connected devices (IoT) it will provide new opportunities to improve and integrate service provision. However, increasingly the physical existence of humans and their physical environments will become a key part of smart systems and the services they provide. Before this can happen, there is first a need to better understand how physical things can be codified thereby allowing them to be included into a system. Secondly, there is a need to integrate and harmonise all things (appliances, devices, fixtures/fittings, building fabric/components, community services etc.). Thirdly, the social outcomes of that integration need to be understood, and this calls for a new nomenclature, a ‘social language’. This research seeks to address these three challenges by discussing the prioritisation of the needs of an individual and characterising all things in terms of the service they provide. It then proposes how these things might be ‘connected’ to form a mesh network that encompasses both current physical, and future virtual, service-delivery mechanisms. The findings indicate that there is potential to codify things by their services in a meaningful way. It is also clear that this approach would offer much greater analysis of service delivery and be able to optimise that delivery in a more integrated and connected world. To develop the work further requires considerable programming capability and capacity. However, while this research has involved largely theoretical scenarios, it has also developed several online ‘tools’ driven by the need to provide proof-of-concept models to support research as well as potentially generate income. The objective to develop a ‘social language’ was acknowledged from the start as being extremely complex, in essence, trying to codify and systemise individual and community needs—even culture itself. However, it is a starting point for others to fulfil its objective in a practical way. The prize is to truly understand the social value of buildings and things in a smarter future and thereby improve wellbeing and social equity for all.

▼ Modern buildings are being integrated with myriad (often >1000s) networked sensors to improve convenience, occupant comfort accessibility and energy-efficient operations. These technological improvements hold the promise of significant advances in centralized operation and management, fault diagnosis, and integration to an emerging smart grid. As of 2012, 14% of the buildings in the U.S. deployed Building Management Systems (BMS) to provide some kind of programmatic interface to the the sensors, actuators, and historical data management. Innovations in "Internet of Things" (IoT) devices have further led to connected lights, power meters, occupancy sensors and appliances that are capable of interfacing with the underlying BMS systems used in building automation. New buildings are installed with a BMS by design, and older buildings are being continuously retrofitted with networked systems for improved efficiency.However, whether provided by novel sensor networks or legacy instrumentation, extracting meaningful information from sensor data and taking actions based on that data depends fundamentally on the metadata available to interpret it. There are more than 5 million commercial buildings in the US, with the sensors in each building set up with customized and obscure metadata. One cannot achieve scalable deployments of software analytics and applications across buildings if deploying them requires vendors and domain experts spending spending 100s of hours fixing each building. Today even well-established applications do not get deployed at scale because of this very reason. Thus, the major challenge is scalability , i.e a paradigm where an application can be written once and deployed on 100s or 1000s of buildings. This thesis evaluates the challenges with existing metadata of sensors in smart-buildings and proposes ways to normalize it to uniform standard that would allow scalable (write-once and deploy everywhere) application development. We develop three empirical criteria for successful metadata schemas – (a) completeness, or the ability to capture all sensors, (b) ability to capture all relationships between sensors required by state-of-the-art applications, and (c) flexibility in incorporating novel sensors and applications, and usability. We empirically demonstrate that no existing smart-building sensor metadata schema satisfy these properties and develop a schema based on an underlying graphical data model, Brick, that does. We validate Brick across 6 large and diverse commercial buildings (comprising more than 17,000 sensors) in two different continents and set up by different BMS vendors. We also develop a human-in-the-loop synthesis technique which uses syntactic and data-driven steps to parse legacy metadata into a common schema. This technique allows building-experts, who might not be conversant with sophisticated regular expression programs, to parse more than 70% of the legacy metadata in a building to a common schema by providing example parses of only about 1% of the sensors. We also show how to use…

Within the scope of this MSc dissertation, we present the design
and implementation of pervasive applications on top of heterogeneous
wireless sensor network environment. The wireless communication between
heterogeneous devices is an inherently difficult research problem due to
fundamental differences in system architecture, properties and capabilities
of the these devices. Initially, our research focused on the identification of
the problems related to the intercommunication among the devices of a
heterogeneous wireless sensor network. As a solution, we propose a new
abstract system that provides the key qualities needed for a successful
pervasive system; expandability, scalability and performance. The new
architecture achieves interoperability among the devices by introducing
abstraction in the communication protocols (MAC, Transport and Application
Layers). In order to demonstrate the applicability of our system we include
various representative use case scenarios, that illustrate the usage of our
infrastructure. Each scenario focuses on different properties of the system and
uses a combination of devices such as iSense, Arduino, SunSPOT, TelosB and
XBee.

▼ In the emerging
smart grids, production increasingly relies on a greater number of
decentralized generation sites based on renewable energy sources. The variable nature
of the new renewable energy sources will require a certain form of distributed energy
storage, such as batteries, flywheels, compressed air and so on to help maintain supply
security. Moreover, integration of demand response programs in conjunction with
distrusted generation makes an economic and environmental advantage by altering
end-users’ normal consumption patterns in response to changes in the electricity price.
These new techniques change the way we consume and produce energy also enable
the possibility to reduce the greenhouse effect and improve grid stability by optimizing
energy streams. In order to accommodate these technologies, solid mathematical
tools are essential to ensure robust operation of heterogeneous and distributed nature
of
smart grids. In this context, game theory could constitute a robust framework that
can address relevant and timely open problems in the emerging
smart grid networks.
In this dissertation, three dynamic game-theoretical approaches are proposed for distributed
control of generation and storage units and demand response applications in
smart grid networks.
We first study the competitive interactions between an autonomous pumpedstorage
hydropower plant and a thermal power plant in order to optimize power
generation and storage. Each type of power plant individually tries to maximize its
own profit by adjusting its strategy: both types of plants can sell their power to the
market; or alternatively, the thermal-power plant can sell its power at a fixed price
to the pumped-storage hydropower plant by storing the energy in the reservoir. A
stochastic differential game is formulated to characterize this competition. The solutions
are derived using the stochastic Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations. Based on
the effect of real-time pricing on users’ daily demand profile, the simulation results
demonstrate the properties of the proposed game and show how we can optimize
consumers’ electricity cost in presence of time-varying prices.
Second, we focus on controllable load types in energy-
smart buildings that are
associated with dynamic systems. In this regard, we propose a new demand response
model based on a two-level differential game framework. At the beginning of each
demand response interval, the price is decided by the upper level (aggregator, utility,
or market) given the total demand of lower level users. Given the price from
the upper level, the electricity usage of air conditioning unit and the battery storage
charging/discharging schedules are controlled for each player (
buildings that are
equipped with automated load control systems and local renewable generators), in
order to minimize the user’s total electricity cost. The optimal user strategies are
derived, and we also show that the proposed game can converge to a feedback Nash
equilibrium.
Finally, the problem of distributed control of the heating,…

▼ Energy consumption by
buildings, due to various factors such as temperature regulation, lighting, poses a threat to our environment and energy resources. In the United States, statistics reveal that commercial and residential
buildings combined contribute about 40 percent of the overall energy consumption, and this figure is expected to increase. In order to manage the growing demand for energy, there is a need for energy system optimization, which would require a realistic, high-resolution energy-demand model. In this work, we investigate and model the energy consumption of
buildings by taking into account physical, structural, economic, and social factors that influence energy use. We propose a novel activity based modeling framework that generates an energy demand profile on a regular basis for a given nominal day. We use this information to generate a building-level energy demand profile at highly dis-aggregated level. We then investigate the different possible uses of generated demand profiles in different What-if scenarios like urban-area planning, demand-side management, demand sensitive pricing, etc. We also provide a novel way to resolve correlational and consistency problems in the generation of individual-level and building-level "shared" activities which occur due to individualsínteractions.

▼ This research explores the value that smart offices can provide to real estate investors. Through an extensive literature review a theoretical framework is created on the topics of smart technology, added value, the real estate investor and the real estate user. Then, three case studies are studied in depth by interviewing involved stakeholders. For each case an overview is created of what makes the building a smart building. Furthermore a connection is made between the smart technology and the way it contributes to the added values found through the literature review. In the end a Smart Value Map is created that connects smart technology, with added value and the main objectives of the investor. This way, by following the smart value map, smart technology is shown to provide value in various ways. It can improve the satisfaction of the users, it can increase the indoor environment, branding, culture. Furthermore, smart technology can be used to increase operational efficiency to reduce costs, increase adaptability and sustainability.

▼ Residential
buildings in the United States are responsible for the consumption of 38% of electricity, and for much of the fluctuations in the power demands on the electric grid, particularly in hot climates. Residential
buildings are also where occupants spend nearly 69% of their time. As “smart” technologies, including electric grid-connected devices and home energy management systems are increasingly available and installed in
buildings, this research focuses on the use of these technologies combined with available energy use data in accomplishing three main objectives. The research aims to: (a) better understand how residential
buildings currently use electricity, (b) evaluate the use of these
smart technologies and data to reduce buildings’ electricity use and their contribution to peak loads, and (c) develop a methodology to assess the impacts of these operational changes on occupant thermal comfort. Specifically this study focuses on two of the most significant electricity consumers in residential
buildings: large appliances, including refrigerators, clothes washers, clothes dryers and dishwashers, and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. First, to develop an improved understanding of current electricity use patterns of large appliances and residential HVAC systems, this research analyzes a large set of field-collected data. This dataset includes highly granular electricity consumption information for residential
buildings located in a hot and humid climate. The results show that refrigerators have the most reliable and consistent use, while the three user-dependent appliances varied more greatly among houses and by time-of-day. In addition, the daily use patterns of appliances vary in shape depending on a number of factors, particularly whether or not the occupants work from home, which contrasts with common residential building energy modeling assumptions. For the all-air central HVAC systems studied, the average annual HVAC duty cycle was found to be approximately 20%, and varied significantly depending on the season, time of day, and type of residential building. Duty cycle was also correlated to monthly energy use. This information provides an improvement to previously assumed values in indoor air modeling studies. Overall, the work presented here enhances the knowledge of how the largest consumers of residential
buildings, large appliances and HVAC, operate and use energy, and identifies influential factors that affect these use patterns. The methodologies developed can be applied to determine use patterns for other energy consuming devices and types of
buildings, to further expand the body of knowledge in this area. Expanding on this knowledge of current energy use,
smart large appliances and residential HVAC systems are investigated for use in reducing peak electric grid loads, and building energy use, respectively. This includes a combination of laboratory testing, field-collected data, and modeling. For appliance peak load reduction, refrigerators are found to have a good…

▼ In this research, an evaluation of the construction permitting process for tall buildings in City of Toronto over the last decade was conducted, including gathering of a detailed database on the approval process of 174 tall residential buildings. This investigation identified e-permitting and automated code compliance checking as viable solutions to address many of the existing challenges with the current permitting process at City of Toronto. These recommendations were then investigated from a global perspective which resulted in development of a framework for automated model-based e-permitting system. This framework takes advantage of the recent technological advancements in the industry, including using BIM for automated code compliance checking and integrating BIM and GIS information for smart urban management applications. The three-level e-permitting framework is envisioned as a road map for advancing from traditional paper-based permitting practices to fully integrated city planning capabilities required to support the future of our built infrastructure.

▼ With the deployment of large sensor-actuator networks, Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs), such as smart buildings, smart grids, and transportation systems, are producing massive amounts of data often in different forms and quality. These data are in turn being used collectively to inform decision-making of the entities that engage with the CPSs. The impact of these systems on people's lives has led to a strong call for accountability of system decisions made based upon various data sources. The collection, analysis, and dissemination of these data also present a privacy risk that needs to be addressed.The first part of this dissertation focuses on accountable data fusion. We develop an online prediction framework that integrates dynamic sensor measurements with prior knowledge. The proposed framework facilitates reasoning about prediction confidence, which is crucial to making dependable decisions. We also move beyond predictive modeling to interpretable analytics by evaluating the influence of each data instance on the algorithmic outcome. We formalize the notion of ``data value,'' and provide efficient algorithms to compute it. This value notion not only enables us to better understand black-box predictions through the lens of training data, but allows for fair allocation of the profit generated from a prediction model that is built with data from cooperative entities. We further use the proposed value notion to develop an effective data sanitization mechanism, which screens off low-quality or even adversarial data instances from the training set.In the second part, we address the problem of incorporating privacy as an active engineering constraint into the CPS design and operation. We discuss a privacy metric inspired by information theory and provide algorithms to optimize the privacy mechanism for a given system or co-design the privacy mechanism and system control. In order to avoid unnecessary privacy-utility tradeoffs, we develop a framework to identify redundant data for specific decision-making processes. Furthermore, we present a privacy-preserving data publishing system, which can achieve improved data utility by optimizing the privacy mechanism according to the use of published data. While the algorithms and techniques introduced can be applied to many CPSs, we will mainly focus on the implications for smart buildings.

▼ Digitalisering och dess möjligheter blir en viktigare del inom fastighetsbranschen. Antalet uppkopplade enheter skapar nya affärsmodeller och analyser för resurseffektivitet och hållbar utveckling men står inför stora utmaningar som säkerhet och interoperabilitet. Fastighetsägare kan nyttja sensorer, automatisering och taggar för att skapa ett bättre inomhusklimat och lägre kostnader. Studien undersöker möjligheter och utmaningar med IoT och IT-plattformar som kan bidra till ett mer hållbart samhälle. Genom att studera branschorganisationen Sveriges Allmännytta och hur de kan nå ut till ett stort antal medlemsföretag kan vi framhäva hur fastigheter kan utvecklas med hjälp av Internet of Things. Resultatet visar att teknologin har en positiv påverkan vid bra implementering gällande energianvändning och hållbarhet men även på människan som bor eller vistas i byggnaden. Arbete för gemensamma standard och interoperabilitet av system ökar innovationskraft och möjlighet för fler företag att ta sig in på marknaden.
The digitalization and its potential is taking a more important role within real estate. The amount of connected devices create new business models and analyzes for better resource efficiency and sustainability but face big challenges such as security and interoperability. Real estate owners can utilize sensors, automation and tags to create a better bioclimate och lower costs. The study researches the opportunities and challenges regarding IoT and IT-platforms that can contribute to a sustainable society. By studying the bransch organisation Sveriges Allmännytta och how they can reach a great amount of affiliated companies, we can emphasize buildings can be improved through Internet of Things. The result shows a positive impact when it’s implemented correctly regarding the energy use and sustainability but also on the residents in the building. The work for standards and interoperability of system increases innovation and the possibility for more companies to enter the market.

▼ Advances in mobile and pervasive computing, electronics technology, and the exponential growth in Internet of Things (IoT) applications and services has led to Building Automation System (BAS) that enhanced the
buildings we live by delivering more energy-saving, intelligent, comfortable, and better utilization. Through the use of integrated protocols, a BAS can interconnects a wide range of building assets so that the control and management of asset operations and their services can be performed in one protocol. Moreover, through the use of distributed computing and IP based communication, a BAS can implement remote monitor and control in adaptive and real-time manner. However, the use of IoT and distributed computing techniques in BAS are leading to challenges to secure and protect information and services due to the significant increase in the attack surface and the inherent vulnerabilities of BAS integrated protocols. Since there is no intrusion detection and prevention available for BAS network, proposing a reliable security mechanism which can monitor the behavior of BAS assets becomes a major design issue. Anomaly Based Intrusion Detection is a security mechanism that uses baseline model to describe the normal behaviors of a system, so that malicious behaviors occurred in a system can be detected by comparing the observed behavior to the baseline model. With its ability of detecting novel and new attacks, Anomaly based Behavior Analysis (ABA) has been actively pursued by researchers for designing Intrusion Detection Systems. Since the information acquired from a BAS system can be from a variety of sources (e.g. sensors, network protocols, temporal and spatial information), the traditional ABA methodology which merely focuses on analyzing the behavior of communication protocols will not be effective in protecting BAS networks. In this dissertation we aim at developing a general methodology named Context Aware Anomaly based Behavior Analysis (CAABA) which combines Context Awareness technique with Anomaly based Behavior Analysis in order to detect any type of anomaly behaviors occurred in Building Automation Systems. Context Awareness is a technique which is widely used in pervasive computing and it aims at gathering information about a system's environment so it can accurately characterize the current operational context of the BAS network and its services. The CAABA methodology can be used to protect a variety of BAS networks in a sustainable and reliable way. To handle the heterogeneous BAS information, we developed a novel Context Aware Data Structure to represent the information acquired from the sensors and resources during execution of the BAS system which can explicitly describe the system's behavior. By performing Anomaly based Behavior Analysis over the set of context arrays using either data mining algorithm or statistical functions, the BAS baseline models are generated. To validate our methodology, we have applied it to two different building application scenarios: a
smart building system which is…

▼ Electric Vehicles (EVs) are active loads as they increase the demand for electricity and introduce several challenges to electrical distribution feeders during charging. Demand Response (DR) or performing load control in commercial
buildings along with the deployment of solar photovoltaic (PV) and ice storage systems at the building level can improve the efficiency of electricity grids and mitigate expensive peak demand/energy charges for
buildings. This research aims to provide such a solution to make EV penetration transparent to the grid.
Firstly, this research contributes to the development of an integrated control of major loads, i.e., Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC), lighting and plug loads while maintaining occupant environmental preferences in small- and medium-sized commercial
buildings which are an untapped DR resource. Secondly, this research contributes to improvement in functionalities of EnergyPlus by incorporating a 1-minute resolution data set at the individual plug load level. The research evaluates total building power consumption performance taking into account interactions among lighting, plug load, HVAC and control systems in a realistic manner.
Third, this research presents a model to study integrated control of PV and ice storage on improving building operation in demand responsive
buildings. The research presents the impact of deploying various combinations of PV and ice storage to generate additional benefits, including clean energy generation from PV and valley filling from ice storage, in commercial
buildings.
Fourth, this research presents a coordinated load control strategy, among participating commercial
buildings in a distribution feeder to optimally control
buildings' major loads without sacrificing occupant comfort and ice storage discharge, along with strategically deployed PV to absorb EV penetration. Demand responsive commercial building load profiles and field recorded EV charging profiles have been added to a real world distribution circuit to analyze the effects of EV penetration, together with real-world PV output profiles. Instead of focusing on individual building's economic benefits, the developed approach considers both technical and economic benefits of the whole distribution feeder, including maintaining distribution-level load factor within acceptable ranges and reducing feeder losses.

▼ The emergence of Building Internet of Things (BIoT) technology as backbone for intra- and inter-building collaborations, and the recent advances in building technologies are expected to act as transformative enablers for energy smart connected communities. Architects are already moving toward connected buildings and commercial industry is advocating open space allocation practices using real-time data. Moreover, many cities have already started setting forth more stringent policies and regulations for clean air and protection of environment. For instance, some cities are already establishing guidelines and will soon be mandating Zero Net Energy (ZNE) building codes. Despite many challenges and barriers, these changes and advances are all good news for the power grid and the society as a whole; by the virtue of advanced data mining tools and control techniques the power grid will take advantage of lower quantity risks, and communities will be able to cut costs and engage in new business opportunities. The current building energy automation systems work in silos and are incapable of taking advantage of these advances and opportunities, community-based cooperation schemes and controls are not in existence. This work will fill some of the gaps in building and community controls and data mining tools and create a real-time information exchange loop between building communities.
The overarching goal of this dissertation is to develop novel advanced soft controls, collaboration schemes and forecasting and data mining tools that allow for buildings to connect and collectively plan and manage their energy loads. A simulation platform is developed to model different levels of energy systems such as buildings, building clusters, and DER. Building thermal behavior is captured via data-driven approaches and incorporated into optimization models to develop optimal setpoint controls that can also pre-heats or pre-cools for given zone(s) taking into account dynamic energy pricing, weather conditions, occupancy patterns, human comfort and business functions. This control strategy is extended to building community operation to achieve peak demand and energy consumption reduction at network level via load synchronization. Load synchronization and balancing between buildings in a community and between communities in a region will result in smoother aggregate load and load shifting to off-peak times, hence the average unit cost of electricity will go down. The proposed planning and control scheme will reduce energy and environmental footprints of communities and cities, create a better living and working environment for residents and occupants.

▼ This thesis is based on the author's independent scientific thinking on the essence of building intelligence since 1988, for the purpose of establishing and arguing for the Building Intelligence Framework (BIF). Furthermore, it is based on the Intelligent
Buildings (IBs) Survey of twelve office
buildings in the Helsinki metropolitan area. The survey was done right after the first boom of construction of intelligent
buildings was over in Finland. There is no universal definition for the intelligent building concept, although a certain consensus about the concept can be found. There is little empirical evidence about the feasibility of or the factors involved in any intelligent building and there is no description of the intelligence of
buildings, or if using the concept of intelligence in the context of quality of a building is valid. Consequently, there is no evidence about such an intelligent building, which is defined by the BIF. In fact, at the beginning of the IBs Survey project not only the feasibility, but even the existence, of the intelligent building concept was questioned. The IBs Survey project was carried out at the Technical Research Centre of Finland VTT, Building Technology, in 1993-1997, in order to study the feasibility of the IB concept and its existence. After finished the IBs Survey project at VTT, the author of this thesis has continued the analysis of the data of the IBs Survey within scientific studies since 1996 and during the research work on this thesis she has gained a deeper understanding of the essence of the building intelligence, which has bothered her mind since the beginning of her studies on the IBs from 1988. The IBs Survey was a post-occupancy study on office building quality. The quality of the intelligent office
buildings was compared to that of the other high quality office
buildings. The hypothesis of the IBs Survey project was that the existence of the differences between the qualities of the intelligent and the other office
buildings will prove the existence of the IB concept. The lack of the differences between the intelligent and the other office
buildings will talk for the absence of any effect of the implementation of the IB concept. The IBs Survey project at VTT proved both some differences between and some similarities in the qualities of the IBs and the other office
buildings. This thesis is a summary of the results of the scientific studies based on the IBs Survey data, and on the other hand this thesis is a monograph on the BIF. The scientific studies based on the IBs Survey data proves or disproves the existence and feasibility of the IB concept and the BIF determines the essence of the building intelligence. The final goal is a synthesis of the IBs Survey and the BIF. The different intelligent building concepts define the intelligent
buildings, not the intelligence of the building. This thesis suggests a definition of building intelligence – called the Building Intelligence (BI) – on the premise that human intelligence can imprint intelligence into an…

▼ The Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging paradigm focusing on the inter-connection of things or devices to each other and to the users. Over time, the most of connections in IoT are shifting from ‘Human to Thing’ to ‘Thing to Thing’. This technology is anticipated to become an essential milestone in the development of smart homes to bring convenience and efficiency into our lives and our homes. But, by bringing this IoT technology into our homes there will be important implications for security in these technologies. Connecting every smart objects inside the home to the internet and to each other results in new security and privacy problems, e.g., confidentiality, authenticity, and integrity of data sensed and exchanged by objects. These technologies are very much vulnerable to different security attacks that make an IoT-based smart home unsecure to live in and therefore it is necessary to evaluate the security risks to judge the situation of the smart homes. For any technology to be successful and achieve widespread use, it needs to gain the trust of users by providing sufficient security and privacy assurance. As in all sectors, maintaining security will be a critical challenge to overcome. As homes are increasingly computerized and filled with devices, potential computer security attacks and their impact on residents need to be investigated. This report uses OCTAVE Allegro Methodology which focuses mainly on information assets and considers containers (technical, physical and people) and conducts a security risk assessment with the goal of highlighting various security flaws in IoT-based smart home, impacts and proposing countermeasures to the identified issues satisfying most of security requirements. Finally, it comes up with some recommendations to the users. The research findings documented into a thesis paper for secure IoT-based smart home systems and the resulted list and recommendations will be some useful contribution which can be used as a foundation for the specification of security requirements. For future work, the assessment will be extended to include more types of smart home applications rather than just typical one.

▼ The rapid pace of urbanization has an impact on climate change and other environmental issues. Currently, 54% of the global population lives in cities accounting for two-thirds of global energy demand. Sustainable energy generation and consumption is the top humanity’s problem for the next 50 years. Faced with rising urban population and the need to achieve energy efficiency, urban planners are focusing on sustainable,
smart energy systems. This has led to the development of
Smart Grids (SG) that employs intelligent monitoring, control and communication technologies to enhance efficiency, reliability and sustainability of power generation and distribution networks. While energy utilities are optimizing energy generation and distribution, consumers play a key role in sustainable energy usage. Several energy services are provided to the consumers to know households' hourly energy consumption, estimate monthly electricity cost and recommendations to reduce energy consumption. Furthermore, advanced services such as demand response, can now control and influence energy demand at the consumer-end to reduce the overall peak demand and re-shape demand profiles. The effectiveness and adoption of these services highly depend on the consumers’ awareness, their participation and engagement. Current energy services seldomly consider consumer preferences such as their daily behavior, comfort level and energy-consumption pattern. In this thesis, we investigate development of personalized energy services that strive to achieve a balance between efficient-energy consumption and user comfort. Personalization refers to tailoring energy services based on individual consumers’ characteristics, preferences and behavior. To develop effective personalized energy services a set of challenges need to be tackled. First, fine-grained data collection at user and appliance level is required (data collection challenge). Mechanisms should be devised to collect fine-grained data at various levels in a non-intrusive way with minimal sensors. Second, personalized energy services require detailed user preferences such as their thermal comfort level, appliance usage behavior and daily habits (user preference challenge). Accurate learning models to derive user preferences with minimal training and intrusion are required. Third, energy services developed needs to be easily scalable, from one household to tens and thousands of households (scalability challenge). Mechanisms should be developed to tackle the deluge of data and support distributed storage and processing. Fourth, energy services should deliver real-time feedback or recommendations so that users can promptly act upon it (real time challenge). This calls for development of distributed and low complexity algorithms. This thesis moves away from traditional SG services – which hardly consider consumer preferences and comfort – and proposes a novel approach to develop effective personalized energy services. The proposed energy services provide actionable feedback,…

▼ Smart Grid has emerged a very important concept in modern power systems. The integration of different loads such as residential, commercial and industrial into the smart grid and their optimal operation has a significant effect on the system's reliability, stability, peak power demand and energy price.
This work presents the mathematical modeling of a Centralized Temperature Control System (CTCS) of a Multi-Unit Residential Building (MURB) and its optimal operation considering electricity prices and weather variations. The model considers comfort levels, preference settings and activity of residents in different units of the building to determine the optimal operation schedules of the CTCS, minimizing its total energy consumption cost. Multi-objective operation of the MURB is also investigated when residents in different units have conflicting interests, and the impact of such conflicting preferences on the operation of CTCS is analyzed. A case-study on optimal energy management of a single unit house considering net-metering is also presented.
The proposed CTCS model is a Mixed Integer Non Linear Programing (MINLP) model, where some of the constraints are linearized to reduce the computational complexity arising from the non-linearity, for real-time applications. The model is studied for various customers' preferences using a realistic MURB model. Simulation results show that significant cost savings can be achieved using the proposed mathematical model.

▼ La plupart des travaux réalisés dans le domaine de l'assistance à l'autonomie à domicile (AAL) reposent sur l'utilisation de capteurs visuels et audio tels que des caméras. Or, ces capteurs sont souvent rejetés par le patient à cause de leur caractère invasif. Des approches alternatives requièrent l'utilisation de capteurs embarqués sur la personne (GPS, bracelets électroniques ou puces RFID dans les vêtements...), et leur pertinence est donc ramenée à l'hypothèse que les personnes les portent effectivement, sans jamais les rejeter ni les oublier. Pour ces raisons, dans cette thèse, nous trouvons plus pertinentes les approches uniquement basées sur l'utilisation de capteurs binaires intégrés dans l'habitat, tels que les détecteurs de mouvements, les tapis sensitifs ou les barrières optiques. Dans un tel contexte technologique, il devient intéressant d'utiliser les paradigmes, les modèles et les outils des systèmes à événement Discrets (SED), initialement plutôt développés pour la modélisation, l'analyse et la commande des systèmes industriels complexes. Dans ces travaux de thèse, l'objectif est de construire une approche pour la modélisation et le suivi des habitudes de vie, basée sur les modèles et les paradigmes des SED et répondant à une problématique qui s'énonce de la manière suivante : L'objectif est de développer un cadre global pour découvrir et reconnaître les activités de la vie quotidienne d'un habitant vivant seul dans une maison intelligente. Cette maison intelligente doit être équipée uniquement de capteurs binaires, l'étiquetage par des experts des activités observées ne doit pas être nécessaire et les activités peuvent être représentées par des modèles probabilistes. La première méthode présentée dans cette thèse permet, à partir d'une base de données d'apprentissage et d'une description experte des activités à modéliser listées par des médecins, de construire pour chaque activité un modèle sous la forme d'un automate à état-fini probabiliste (PFA). La seconde méthode développée lors de cette thèse permet d'estimer en temps réel, à partir des seules données observées par les capteurs ambiants, quelle activité la personne observée réalise effectivement. Les méthodes décrites dans cette thèse sont illustrées en utilisant les données générées localement via l'utilisation d'un appartement prêté par ENS Paris-Saclay équipé pour répondre aux besoins expérimentaux de cette thèse.
Most of the work done in the field of ambient assisted living (AAL) is based on the use of visual and audio sensors such as cameras. However, these sensors are often rejected by the patient because of their invasiveness. Alternative approaches require the use of sensors embedded on the person (GPS, electronic wristbands or RFID chips in clothing ...), and their relevance is therefore reduced to the assumption that people actually wear them, without rejecting nor forgetting them. For these reasons, in this thesis, we find more relevant the approaches based on the use of binary sensors integrated into the habitat only, such as…

▼ The concept of the Internet of Things (IoT) and connected devices is a growing trend. New ways to integrate them with Smart Home Technology emerge each day. The use of sensors in IoT solutions enables large scale data collection that can be used in various ways. The European Union recently enforced a General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that sets guidelines for the collection and processing of personal information. The communication protocol M-Bus is a European standard (EN 13757-x) mainly used for remote reading of electrical, gas and water meters. M-Bus is being integrated with sensors because the protocol offers long battery times. There are however some known flaws with the protocol that might make it unsuitable for a large scale data collection system. A conceptualized data collection scenario with a system utilizing M- Bus is presented. The authors aim to investigate some of the security flaws with the M-Bus protocol, while also investigating the GDPR demands of the system. The thesis supplements a System Requirement Specification (SyRS) which can be used as a template for organizations implementing a similar system. An analysis of the system based on the SyRS is conducted to identify any shortcomings. Modifications to the system are proposed in order to comply with the defined SyRS. The authors concluded that M-Bus is a sufficiently reliable protocol to be used in the system, and has no inherent conflicts with GDPR. The system has a few flaws in terms of GDPR compliance, which require both administrative and technical work to comply with. The suggested modifications of the system are mainly focused on how the data is stored in various parts of it.
Konceptet med Internet of Things (IoT) och uppkopplade enheter är en väx- ande trend, och nya sätt att integrera dem med det smarta hemmet framträder varje dag. Den Europeiska Unionen har nyligen verkställt en ny dataskydds- förordning, General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), som sätter krav på insamling och behandling av personlig data. Användandet av IoT lösningar skapar möjligheten för storskalig datainsamling som kan användas på flera sätt. Kommunikationsprotokollet M-Bus är en europeisk standard (EN 13757-x) som huvudsakligen är framtagen för att avlägset läsa av el-, gas- och vattenmätare. På grund av ett litet avtryck och enkel implementation av sitt protokoll så är M-bus ofta ett val till uppkoplade sensorer för att möjliggöra lång drifttid. Det finns däremot ett antal säkerhetsbrister med protokollet som kan göra det olämpligt för ett datainsamlingssystem. Ett konceptualiserat datainsamlingscenario med ett system som utnyttjar M-Bus presenteras. Författarnas mål är att undersöka några av säkerhetsbristerna med M-Bus protokollet, samtidigt som det undersöker vilka krav GDPR ställer på ett sådant system. Uppsatsen sammanställer en kravspecifikation som kan användas som grund och riktlinje för organisationer som ska implementera liknande system. En analys av det konceptualiserade systemet baserat på kravspecifikationen genomförs för att…

▼ The rapid growth in energy usage and CO2 emissions has become a critical issue for the whole world. It is noteworthy that
buildings are a major contributor to global primary energy consumption. Among building services, use of energy in heating-ventilation-air-conditioning (HVAC) system is particularly significant (about 50% of the total building energy consumption). Therefore, the development and implementation of effective control strategies to optimize the operation of HVAC systems in the context of energy usage is essential. One such class of advanced control approaches is model predictive control (MPC). The fundamental idea behind MPC is to use the dynamical model of the process (thermal environment of building in this case) to predict its evolution and optimize the control input signal based on those predictions.
The first part of this thesis provides a detailed introduction to MPC and is devoted to studying the application of MPC in the context of building energy system and climate control.
In the second part of the thesis, a novel concept of cooperative optimization of building energy systems is presented. In this framework, climate control of a group of
buildings connected to shared heat pumps is investigated and the benefits of cooperative optimization are analyzed. The proposed approach is capable of achieving a significant reduction in total peak power consumption and can play a major role in advancing the concept of building climate control on a larger scale like
smart cities.
The remaining part of the thesis is dedicated to the design of advanced robust MPC controllers to control indoor building environment. These controllers provide robustness against uncertainties present in the system which may arise due to various reasons like plant model mismatch, uncertain system gain and/or additive external disturbances. The robust MPC controller presented in this thesis is intended to handle uncertainty in the thermal model of the building and also additive bounded disturbances to the systems mainly from solar irradiance and ambient temperature.
In the final chapter, a home energy management system (HEMS) is presented which uses MPC and mixed integer linear programming (MILP) to schedule the home appliances in a manner that the peak power consumption and total electricity cost is reduced.

▼ La notion de confort dans les habitats est une problématique majeure pour résoudre des problèmes écologiques (consommation et émissions des bâtiments), économiques (réduction de coûts d'exploitation) et sociaux (maintien et assistance à domicile) qui définissent le développement durable. Cependant, cette notion de confort est complexe, par le nombre de paramètres qu'elle intègre, paramètres à la fois humains (perception) et physiques (mesure). Notre étude vise à modéliser cette notion de confort dans un contexte d'habitat intelligent. L'habitat intelligent émerge depuis le début des années 2000, et se positionne en héritier de la domotique, bénéficiant des progrès technologiques illustrés par l'informatique ubiquitaire et l'intelligence artificielle, concepts formants l'intelligence ambiante. La première partie de notre étude consiste à définir l'habitat intelligent, en formalisant les acquis (domotique) et les problématiques de recherche, sous l'angle de la représentation de connaissances par les modèles. Notre approche du bâtiment intelligent nous à permis de définir un cadre d'interopérabilité : un intergiciel capable de concentrer les paramètres et commandes d'un environnement. Cette interopérabilité est nécessaire de par l'hétérogénéité des objets communicants qui composent un habitat : hétérogénéité des applications, des protocoles de communication, de savoir-faire et d'usages. Les travaux réalisés dans cette première partie de l'étude nous ont permis d'instrumenter une plate-forme d'expérimentation : la plateforme Domus. Ainsi, en reconstituant un appartement, et en le dotant d'objets communicants, nous avons pu mettre en œuvre, par le biais de l'interopérabilité, un environnement intelligent, environnement qui se caractérise par une forte densité d'information et une capacité de réaction. La réalisation de cette plate-forme est nécessaire pour aborder des thématiques diverses liées à l'habitat, comme le confort. En effet, l'intelligence ambiante apporte une nouvelle dimension dans ce cadre de recherche : l'ubiquité. La densité croissante de capteurs nous permet de collecter plus d'informations, non seulement sur l'environnement mais également sur l'utilisateur et son comportement, définissant ainsi une nouvelle approche du confort : le confort adaptatif. Les travaux sur l'étude du confort dans les bâtiments se focalisent sur le confort thermique. Dans nos travaux, nous avons voulu nous intéresser au confort multi-sensoriel. Celui-ci permet d'une part de prendre en compte l'ensemble des paramètres qui agrémentent un environnement (l'air, le son, la vue) mais permet également de nous intéresser aux effets sensoriels croisés que peuvent induire ces modalités sur l'occupant. Par exemple, on soupçonne la température d'éclairage (éclairage rouge/chaud, éclairage bleu/froid) d'avoir une incidence sur la perception thermique. Des expérimentations ont en effet démontré l'approche pratique et l'approche théorique de ces effets multi-sensoriels. La mise en place de notre cadre d'interopérabilité, en première partie,…
