Abstract:

With buildings accounting for nearly 40 percent of global energy consumption, the improvement of energy efficiency in buildings and districts is a clear opportunity in the fight against climate change. This has led engineering practitioners as well as researchers to propose solutions for smart energy control in buildings. Simulation-based methods permits the early validation of engineering solutions for these smart energy control systems. However, since these solutions involve different engineering disciplines (e.g., software engineering, electrical engineering, etc.), different simulation tools might be employed. We propose a tool that interconnects EnergyPlus, one of the leading open-source tools for building energy simulation, with Crescendo, a tool for designing and modelling cyber-physical systems using formal methods. A preliminary evaluation suggests that the proposed solution enables the simulation between these two tools in an efficient manner.
