Embodiment Construction

[0030] Fig. 1 schematically shows a building 110 provided with a building management system 100 according to the invention. The building management system 100 is provided with a central controller 102, which may for example be a microprocessor or any other suitable device, such as a personal computer system running specific software. The central controller 102 is connected to a measurement system that measures the resource consumption or demand of the building 110 . In the example of FIG. 1 , the measurement system is formed by three separate measurement systems, which are denoted by reference numerals 104 , 106 and 108 . However, it should be understood that this is by way of example only. In the embodiment of FIG. 1 , water consumption is measured by a first measurement system 104 , electricity consumption is measured by a second measurement system 106 , and air demand, eg by an air conditioning system (not shown), is measured by a third measurement system 108 .

Abstract

A building management system (100) comprises a measurement system for measuring a demand for resources inside the building and a collecting system for harvesting natural resources available outside the building. The building management system is further provided with a storage system for storing surplus resources and a sensor system (112,114,116,118,120 ) for measuring resource availability outside the building and / or resources stored in the storage system. Further, a controller (102) arranged to receive data from the measurement system, the sensor system and the storage system is provided. The controller controls the collecting system based on said data to tune the collection of resources by the collection system to a present and / or an expected demand for resources.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a building management system including an active building skin, and an environmental resource collector for such a system. In particular, the present invention relates to a building management system constructed and arranged to use an active building skin to balance the resources needed inside the building with the resources available outside and / or inside the building, the active building skin The source building skin can harvest available environmental resources such as air / wind, water and solar energy. Background technique [0002] Issues such as global warming, rising energy and energy production costs, and overpopulation reinforce the need to conserve energy and / or utilize more naturally available energy. [0003] Recent legislation aimed at cutting greenhouse gas emissions to comply with global agreements such as the Kyoto Accord will (likely) increase scrutiny of the building envelope performance of buildings wo...
