ABSTRACT
A modern Building Automation System (BAS) aims to enhance the functionality of interactive control strategies leading towards energy efficiency and enhanced user comfort. Typically, it is cheaper to embed the BAS within a Wireless Sensor/Actuator Network (WSAN) rather than rewire legacy. However, the cost of a WSAN deployment is a critical factor for the new buildings. In this context, we develop a co-design approach for assessing the cost of a WSAN deployment while achieving particular control performance. We apply the developed co-design strategy to a distributed control for building lighting systems. We empirically compare our developed system for building lighting control strategy with a standard PI control method to demonstrate an average of 45% reduction in energy use while maintaining the user comfort and 23% saving in the network cost.
