Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of dual carbon, and in particular to a building carbon metering method, device and medium based on edge computing. Background Art
[0002] With the severe challenge of global climate change, reducing building energy consumption and carbon emissions has become an indispensable part of promoting green and sustainable development. As one of the main sources of energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, the energy efficiency improvement and low-carbon transformation of the construction industry are particularly important.
[0003] In the context of smart city construction, building carbon emission monitoring and management has gradually become a hot topic in research and application. Smart cities achieve energy conservation and emission reduction in various life scenarios through digital transformation. Among them, the building automation system (BAS), as a core component of intelligent building technology, is becoming an important tool for addressing building energy consumption and carbon emission issues with its high efficiency, accuracy and intelligence.
[0004] However, existing technologies have some shortcomings and challenges in monitoring and managing building carbon emissions:
[0005] Limitations of data collection: Traditional building management systems often rely on limited sensors and monitoring equipment, making it difficult to achieve comprehensive and real-time data collection, resulting in an inability to accurately assess a building’s energy consumption and carbon emissions.
[0006] Lack of refined management: Existing building management systems usually lack refined management of various areas and equipment within the building, and are unable to formulate personalized energy-saving and emission reduction strategies for different areas and equipment.
[0007] Insufficient data processing and analysis capabilities: Although some building management systems are able to collect a large amount of energy consumption data, they lack efficient data processing and analysis capabilities and are unable to transform the data into valuable information and decision support.
[0008] Low system integration: Existing building management systems are often unable to integrate with other systems, such as meteorological data, energy price information, etc., limiting the system's potential in optimizing energy use and reducing carbon emissions.
[0009] Insufficient security and privacy protection: As the amount of data in building management systems increases, data security and privacy protection issues become increasingly prominent. Existing systems may lack effective data encryption and access control mechanisms, making it difficult to prevent unauthorized access and data tampering.
[0010] Limited level of intelligence: Many existing building management systems have not yet fully utilized advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning to achieve intelligent energy consumption prediction, fault diagnosis and optimization control.
[0011] Edge computing is a distributed computing paradigm that deploys data processing, application running, and intelligent services on devices or nodes close to the data source, rather than relying entirely on remote data centers or cloud platforms. This architecture is designed to reduce data transmission latency, improve data security, reduce network bandwidth pressure, and support real-time decision-making and autonomous operations.
[0012] The application of edge computing shows great potential in building energy consumption and carbon emission management. Through reasonable design, it is theoretically possible to achieve real-time monitoring and analysis of building carbon emissions, optimize energy use, and reduce carbon emissions. Summary of the invention
[0013] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a building carbon metering method, device and medium based on edge computing.
[0014] The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0015] A building carbon measurement method based on edge computing includes the following steps:
[0016] Step 1: Multi-point collection of building carbon emission data
[0017] Install multiple sensors at key locations in the building to collect real-time data that affects carbon emissions, such as electricity consumption, gas usage, ambient temperature and humidity, indoor and outdoor gas composition, and equipment operating status;
[0018] Sensors include energy meters, gas concentration detectors, temperature sensors, etc. The data collection frequency can be set according to the actual application scenario;
[0019] Step 2: Data preprocessing and edge device upload
[0020] The data collected by the sensor is first processed locally (sensor node), such as data denoising, data filtering, and outlier detection, to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the sensor data;
[0021] The pre-processed data is transmitted to the edge computing device through the local area network, avoiding uploading all the original data to the cloud and reducing bandwidth usage;
[0022] Step 3: Real-time carbon emissions calculation on edge devices
[0023] The edge computing device performs real-time calculations on the received sensor data and estimates the carbon emissions of each area or device based on information such as energy consumption and device status;
[0024] Use pre-established carbon emission formulas or models, combined with sensor data and equipment loads in specific areas, to perform regional carbon emission calculations;
[0025] Step 4: Analysis and feedback of local carbon emissions
[0026] Conduct carbon emission analysis on edge computing devices to identify high-emission areas or high-energy-consuming equipment in the building, and identify possible inefficiencies or failures of equipment by analyzing energy efficiency data;
[0027] Edge devices generate local feedback information and provide optimization suggestions to the building management system, such as adjusting the operating time of a certain device, optimizing air conditioning temperature, and reducing the use of high-emission equipment;
[0028] Step 5: Edge computing and cloud co-processing
[0029] For long-term data storage and in-depth analysis, edge computing devices regularly upload processed data to cloud servers;
[0030] The cloud can perform more complex carbon emission trend analysis, equipment health monitoring, and provide higher-level management decision support, such as predicting building carbon emissions for a certain period of time in the future;
[0031] Step 6: Intelligent Optimization and Decision Making
[0032] Based on the collaborative results of edge computing devices and cloud analysis, the system will continuously optimize the carbon emission calculation model through machine learning algorithms and provide dynamic optimization suggestions in the building management system;
[0033] Real-time recommendations include adjusting the operation strategy of high-energy-consuming equipment and changing the operation mode of the air-conditioning system to reduce the overall building carbon emissions;
[0034] Step 7: Carbon emission monitoring and alarm
[0035] The system continuously monitors carbon emissions in various areas or equipment. When abnormally high carbon emissions are detected, edge computing devices can trigger alarms in real time.
[0036] The system will record the abnormal event and suggest that managers take measures, such as shutting down specific equipment or adjusting regional environmental parameters;
[0037] Step 8: Security and Data Protection Measures
[0038] During the entire data transmission and processing process, the system uses data encryption and access control mechanisms to ensure data security and privacy protection and prevent unauthorized access and data tampering;
[0039] Edge computing is used for real-time monitoring and feedback of carbon emissions. This method, which combines low-latency processing and localized data optimization, is different from traditional centralized processing and improves real-time performance, flexibility, and data processing efficiency.
[0040] Through distributed data collection and the application of edge intelligent devices, carbon emission data can not only be measured more accurately, but also reduce building energy consumption through real-time analysis, thereby achieving the goal of intelligent building management.
[0041] Furthermore, the multi-point collection of the above-mentioned building carbon emission data includes the following steps:
[0042] 1.1 Determine the type and scope of data collection
[0043] The target data collected should be related to carbon emissions, energy consumption and environmental factors, including:
[0044] Power consumption: used to monitor the energy consumption of electrical equipment in buildings (such as air conditioners, lighting, office equipment, etc.). Power consumption is one of the main sources of carbon emissions.
[0045] Gas usage: If natural gas or other fuels are used for heating or electricity in the building, gas consumption needs to be monitored;
[0046] Equipment status information: monitor the operating status and usage time of equipment, such as the workload of high-power equipment such as elevators, air conditioners, boilers, generators, etc.
[0047] Environmental parameters: including indoor and outdoor temperature, humidity, air flow (wind speed, wind direction), etc., which affect the energy efficiency performance of the equipment;
[0048] Gas composition detection: Detect the content of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane in the air inside and outside the building, which directly reflects the level of carbon emissions.
[0049] 1.2 Sensor types and layout design
[0050] According to different data collection requirements, select appropriate sensors and arrange them in a reasonable space to ensure the accuracy and representativeness of the collected data;
[0051] Power sensors: Use smart meters or power sensors installed in the circuits of major equipment in the building to record power consumption in real time; key equipment includes: air conditioners, lighting systems, elevators, computer room servers, etc.
[0052] Gas sensor: installed at the entrance and exit of the natural gas pipeline to monitor the gas usage and associate it with the operation status of the corresponding equipment;
[0053] Environmental sensors: Temperature and humidity sensors, wind speed and direction sensors can be distributed in different areas of the building, especially in locations with greater airflow impact, such as air-conditioning outlets, rooftops, and basements;
[0054] Gas detectors: installed in different areas indoors and outdoors, especially in crowded places (such as conference rooms, lobbies, parking lots, etc.), to monitor the concentration of gases such as carbon dioxide and methane in the air.
[0055] 1.3 Sensor Node Networking and Data Aggregation
[0056] Networking of sensor nodes: Various sensors form a local area network (LAN) through wireless communication (such as Wi-Fi, Zigbee, LoRa, etc.) or wired network (such as Ethernet, RS485) to transmit the collected data to the edge computing device in real time;
[0057] Wireless communication: For areas where wiring is difficult (such as sensors outside buildings or on ceilings), wireless communication methods can be used, such as LoRa, Zigbee and other low-power wide area network technologies to ensure that devices can communicate reliably over long distances;
[0058] Wired communication: For devices with large data volumes or high communication requirements (such as power sensors or devices in server rooms), Ethernet connections are used to ensure high data transmission rates and stability;
[0059] Data aggregation: Each sensor node transmits the collected data to the local edge computing device through the network to form a preliminary data pool. This process requires setting the frequency of data collection and the upload cycle to ensure the real-time and validity of the data.
[0060] Data collection frequency: Set the collection frequency according to the device type and monitoring requirements. For example, the collection frequency of power consumption can be once per minute, while temperature and humidity data can be collected every 5 minutes.
[0061] 1.4 Real-time monitoring and verification of data collection
[0062] Real-time monitoring: The edge computing device is responsible for monitoring the operating status of each sensor node to ensure the real-time and stability of the data acquisition system. Once an abnormality occurs in a sensor node (such as data loss or abnormal value), the system will automatically trigger an alarm or self-repair mechanism.
[0063] Data verification: For the data collected by the sensor, the system needs to perform preliminary verification, such as detecting the integrity and accuracy of the data, and eliminating noise data or unreasonable data points according to certain rules; for example, when it is detected that the energy consumption of a certain device suddenly surges but the device status has not changed, it can be judged that it may be a false alarm of the sensor.
[0064] 1.5 Data storage and processing preparation
[0065] Local storage: On edge computing devices, all collected real-time data is stored locally to avoid data loss due to network problems. The storage method can be cyclical, and expired data is cleaned up regularly to ensure sustainable use of storage space.
[0066] Processing preparation: After preliminary cleaning and integration, the data will serve as the basic data for carbon emission calculation in subsequent steps.
[0067] This step is a detailed monitoring of various equipment in the building, combining data from multiple types of sensors, especially direct detection of gas composition, to provide a reliable data source for accurate measurement of carbon emissions;
[0068] In addition, the networking methods of sensor nodes are diversified to meet the needs of different building structures. The flexibility and stability of data transmission are improved by combining low-power wireless networks and wired networks.
[0069] Finally, a real-time monitoring and data verification mechanism was added to ensure the quality of sensor data, providing a more reliable basis for subsequent carbon emissions calculations.
[0070] Furthermore, the above data preprocessing and edge device uploading include the following steps:
[0071] 2.1 Data denoising and cleaning
[0072] De-noising: Due to factors such as signal interference and sensor aging in the environment, the collected data may contain noise. Filtering algorithms (such as low-pass filtering and Kalman filtering) are used to eliminate unreasonable fluctuations to ensure the smoothness and accuracy of the data.
[0073] Data cleaning: Remove invalid data points that are obviously abnormal, such as:
[0074] Power values beyond the normal operating range of the equipment;
[0075] The concentration of the collected gas changes abnormally and dramatically, while the external conditions remain unchanged;
[0076] The cleaning algorithm can formulate rules based on specific scenarios. For example, if the power consumption value of a device is far away from the normal range for multiple consecutive times, it will be judged as abnormal.
[0077] 2.2 Data Compression and Optimization
[0078] Since the amount of data generated by sensors is large, data compression is necessary to reduce network bandwidth usage and storage pressure;
[0079] Compression methods include differential encoding (storing only the difference between two acquisition points) or sample sparsification (reducing the acquisition frequency for stable, little-changing data segments);
[0080] In addition, data aggregation technology is used to reduce redundant data; for example, the temperature information collected by multiple sensors can be weighted averaged to generate a unified ambient temperature value in the area, reducing the amount of uploaded data.
[0081] 2.3 Anomaly Detection and Local Storage
[0082] Local anomaly detection: Perform localized anomaly detection before uploading to edge devices; for example, if the energy consumption or gas emission value of a device exceeds the normal threshold, an alarm is triggered and a related anomaly report is generated to prompt managers or trigger automated processing (such as shutting down high-energy-consuming devices);
[0083] Temporary data storage: To prevent data loss caused by network interruption or transmission failure, sensor nodes can first cache data on local storage devices and upload them in batches to edge computing devices after the network is restored.
[0084] 2.4 Data encryption and upload
[0085] Data encryption: Before uploading, the collected data is encrypted to prevent the data from being stolen or tampered with during transmission; commonly used encryption technologies such as AES and RSA encryption ensure the privacy and security of the data;
[0086] Data upload: By setting the upload cycle, the edge computing device obtains the processed data from each sensor node; this process uses efficient data transmission protocols (such as MQTT, CoAP, etc.) to ensure low latency and reliable data transmission.
[0087] The core of this step is to preliminarily process the raw data collected by the sensor to ensure the accuracy, completeness and compactness of the data, and then upload it to the edge computing device to prepare for subsequent carbon emissions calculations.
[0088] Furthermore, the real-time carbon emission calculation of the edge device includes the following steps:
[0089] 3.1 Establishment of carbon emission model
[0090] Establish a carbon emission calculation formula: Carbon emission models are usually calculated based on energy consumption and equipment operating load; for example:
[0091] The relationship between electricity consumption and carbon emissions can be converted through the carbon emission factor of the power grid (carbon emissions per unit of energy consumption), such as "electricity consumption × grid carbon emission factor = carbon emissions";
[0092] Carbon emissions from gas consumption are calculated through calorific value conversion: such as "gas usage × gas calorific value × carbon emission factor = carbon emissions";
[0093] Carbon emission factors for different equipment and energy types can be pre-set and flexibly adjusted based on the actual energy structure within the building.
[0094] 3.2 Calculation of carbon emissions by region
[0095] Regional division: Carbon emissions calculation is divided by region according to different functional areas of the building (such as office area, equipment room, restaurant, parking lot, etc.); this zoning calculation can accurately identify high-emission areas, facilitating subsequent management optimization;
[0096] Real-time calculation: Edge computing devices use predefined formulas to calculate carbon emissions in real time based on data from different regions; for example:
[0097] Perform weighted calculation on the total power consumption, gas emissions, temperature environment and other comprehensive information of a certain area, and output the carbon emission value of the area;
[0098] The calculation results of each area can be updated dynamically to reflect the current carbon emissions situation in real time.
[0099] 3.3 Equipment-level carbon emission analysis
[0100] Equipment classification and independent calculation: For important equipment in a building (such as air conditioners, generators and other high-energy-consuming equipment), their carbon emissions can be calculated independently;
[0101] The energy consumption data of each device is combined with its operating time to output the carbon emission value of the device in a specific time period;
[0102] In addition, for problems such as equipment aging and inefficient operation, edge computing devices can further analyze abnormalities in their carbon emissions;
[0103] Long-term tracking and trend prediction: By tracking the carbon emission performance of equipment over a long period of time, edge computing devices can identify equipment inefficiencies or potential failures, and promptly remind building managers to perform maintenance or replacements.
[0104] 3.4 Local Feedback Mechanism of Edge Devices
[0105] Feedback generation: Based on real-time calculation of carbon emissions, edge computing devices can generate instant feedback, such as suggesting shutting down some equipment during off-peak hours, adjusting air conditioning temperature, optimizing equipment operation strategies, etc., to reduce carbon emissions;
[0106] Alarm mechanism: When the carbon emissions of a certain area or equipment exceed the set threshold, the edge device will issue an alarm and notify the management system; for example, when the carbon emissions of an elevator or air conditioner suddenly increase sharply, it may be a signal of equipment failure, and the edge computing device will automatically issue a warning.
[0107] The core of this step is to process and analyze the collected data in real time through edge computing devices, calculate the carbon emissions in the building, and provide local carbon emissions assessment and management.
[0108] Furthermore, the above local carbon emission analysis and feedback includes the following steps:
[0109] 4.1 Local analysis of carbon emission data
[0110] Identification of high-emission areas: Edge computing devices analyze data from various collection points in real time to identify high-emission areas within the building. These areas may include high-energy-consuming areas such as air-conditioning rooms, elevator rooms, and heating equipment. By comparing carbon emission data from different areas, the system can quickly locate these high-emission areas.
[0111] Identification of high-energy-consuming equipment: In addition to analyzing the area, edge computing devices can also identify specific high-energy-consuming equipment in the building, such as air conditioning, lighting systems, heating systems, etc. If the carbon emission level of a certain device exceeds the preset benchmark, the system will record the device and mark it as a device that may need to be optimized.
[0112] 4.2 Equipment operation efficiency and fault analysis
[0113] Energy efficiency data analysis: Edge computing devices analyze the energy efficiency data of high-emission equipment to identify the equipment's operating efficiency. If it is found that the energy consumption of the equipment does not match its expected output effect (i.e., inefficient operation), the system will record this situation. For example, an air conditioner may increase energy consumption due to insufficient maintenance, but the cooling effect has not increased accordingly.
[0114] Fault warning: By analyzing the historical operation data of the device, the edge device can also identify possible fault conditions of the device. For example, the system may detect a sudden increase in the energy consumption of a device and a decrease in its output performance, and then infer that the device may need to be repaired or replaced.
[0115] 4.3 Local feedback and optimization suggestions
[0116] Feedback information generation: Based on the results of local carbon emissions and energy efficiency analysis, edge computing devices will generate local feedback information. For example, if carbon emissions in a certain area increase abnormally, the device will send an alarm message to the building management system to remind relevant personnel to pay attention to the situation in that area.
[0117] Generation of optimization suggestions: Edge computing devices can also provide instant optimization suggestions to the management system. Based on the carbon emission analysis of equipment and regions, the system may recommend adjusting the operating hours of certain equipment, reducing the frequency of use of high-emission equipment, or optimizing the temperature settings of air conditioning systems. For example, edge devices may recommend reducing the operating power of air conditioners during off-peak hours, or adjusting the brightness of lighting systems to reduce unnecessary energy consumption.
[0118] 4.4 Interaction with Building Management Systems
[0119] Instant adjustment and feedback: The feedback information generated by the edge device will be transmitted to the building management system in real time for the reference of the management personnel. At the same time, the building management system can adjust the operating status of the equipment according to the suggestions. For example, it can remotely shut down certain high-energy-consuming equipment, or dynamically adjust the temperature and lighting in the area.
[0120] Dynamic feedback and continuous optimization: The system will continuously track the implementation effect of feedback and adjust the operation strategy of the equipment in real time. For example, if the system recommends optimizing the air conditioning temperature in a certain area and carbon emissions decrease after implementation, the system will record this information and use it as a basis for future decision-making.
[0121] in:
[0122] Refine energy efficiency analysis standards: Different devices should have different energy efficiency standards. Edge computing devices can formulate personalized energy efficiency standards for different devices based on the device type and operating environment to ensure the accuracy of the analysis results.
[0123] Intelligent learning based on historical data: Edge computing devices can introduce machine learning algorithms based on historical data to predict the usage patterns of high-emission equipment and dynamically adjust the system's feedback suggestions based on its changes, making the system more adaptable.
[0124] Furthermore, the collaborative processing of edge computing and cloud computing includes the following steps:
[0125] 5.1 Data upload and storage
[0126] Regular data upload: The edge computing device will regularly upload the processed building carbon emission data to the cloud server. The frequency of upload can be adjusted according to the importance and time requirements of the data. For example, real-time data can be uploaded every few minutes, while historical data can be uploaded regularly every day or week.
[0127] Data storage management: The cloud server is responsible for long-term storage of uploaded data, using an efficient database management system to ensure data integrity, stability and security. The cloud has a large storage capacity, so it can store many years of historical data for future in-depth analysis.
[0128] 5.2 In-depth analysis of the cloud
[0129] Carbon emission trend analysis: By analyzing historical data and real-time data, the cloud can generate long-term carbon emission trend charts. For example, it can analyze the carbon emission patterns of a building in different seasons and on different working days, and identify possible carbon emission peaks.
[0130] Equipment health monitoring: The cloud can also monitor the health status of each device in the building, especially those that generate a lot of carbon emissions (such as air conditioning and heating systems). By analyzing the equipment operation data in the cloud, the maintenance needs of the equipment can be predicted, reducing the sudden increase in carbon emissions caused by equipment failure.
[0131] Senior management decision support: The cloud provides comprehensive data reports to help senior management make strategic adjustments. For example, through cloud analysis, managers can understand the carbon emissions comparison of each building and decide whether to replace high-energy-consuming equipment or adjust the energy structure.
[0132] 5.3 Collaborative Processing Mechanism
[0133] Data preprocessing and decision feedback: Edge computing devices perform preliminary processing on real-time data, such as filtering out abnormal data and classifying carbon emission data in different regions. These preprocessed data are then uploaded to the cloud, which conducts further in-depth analysis and then feeds back to edge devices for real-time adjustments.
[0134] Task allocation between cloud and edge computing: Edge computing devices handle time-sensitive tasks, such as immediate carbon emission detection and early warning, while the cloud handles more complex and large-scale data analysis tasks, such as long-term trend prediction of carbon emissions and equipment maintenance planning. Through this collaborative mechanism, the system's performance and response speed are optimized.
[0135] 5.4 Future Carbon Emissions Forecast
[0136] Time period prediction: Based on the historical carbon emission data of the building, the cloud can predict carbon emissions for a certain period of time in the future. For example, by analyzing the data of previous years and combining it with real-time energy consumption, weather and building usage, the cloud can predict carbon emissions for the next week or month and provide optimization suggestions to managers.
[0137] Decision support and intelligent optimization: The cloud can provide decision support based on the prediction results and recommend adjusting the operating time or power of certain devices to reduce carbon emissions. For example, the system can recommend reducing the operation of certain high-energy-consuming devices before the expected peak of carbon emissions, thereby controlling carbon emissions in advance.
[0138] Among them: In order to avoid the impact of data upload delays on system decisions, asynchronous communication can be adopted between the cloud and edge devices. When there is a problem with the network, the edge device will automatically cache the data and wait for the network to recover before uploading it in batches.
[0139] Data compression and encryption: To improve upload efficiency, data can be compressed before uploading. At the same time, to ensure data security, the uploaded data should be encrypted to prevent leakage during the intermediate transmission process.
[0140] Furthermore, the above intelligent optimization and decision-making includes the following steps:
[0141] 6.1 Global Data Aggregation and Fusion
[0142] Edge device data aggregation: Obtain carbon emission-related data from edge computing devices in various areas and different devices in the building, such as energy consumption data, equipment operating status, carbon emission concentration, etc.
[0143] Data fusion and correction: The central control system fuses and removes duplicate data from edge devices and corrects abnormal data; for example:
[0144] Correct sensor error readings and remove abnormal data points that are obviously unreasonable;
[0145] Adjust the weights of different data sources according to the actual situation of the building to make the global data more accurate.
[0146] 6.2 Intelligent Analysis Algorithm
[0147] Global carbon emission trend prediction: The central system predicts the overall carbon emission trend of the building through machine learning or deep learning models; for example:
[0148] Use historical data and real-time data to predict the peak of carbon emissions in a certain period of time in the future, so as to formulate response strategies in advance;
[0149] Scenario simulation and optimization analysis: The system optimizes the operation strategy of each device by simulating carbon emissions in different scenarios (such as peak and off-peak periods); for example:
[0150] Simulate the effects of different energy-saving strategies, evaluate the carbon reduction effect and impact on building comfort of each option, and select the best strategy.
[0151] 6.3 Optimizing Decisions
[0152] Dynamic strategy adjustment: The central system dynamically adjusts the building’s carbon emission control strategy based on the analysis results; for example:
[0153] When building traffic increases, the system automatically increases air conditioning efficiency but reduces the power output of other non-essential equipment to achieve a balance between carbon emissions and user comfort;
[0154] Equipment priority management: The system adjusts the priority of different equipment according to the equipment's energy consumption, usage frequency, and carbon emissions; for example:
[0155] Prioritize the control of equipment with high energy consumption, such as air conditioning, lighting, etc., to reduce their working time or power.
[0156] 6.4 Decision Feedback and Iterative Optimization
[0157] Real-time feedback mechanism: The system feeds back optimization decisions to each edge device and adjusts the device's operating parameters in real time; for example:
[0158] Reduce energy consumption by reducing the power of some equipment or shutting down non-essential equipment during peak hours;
[0159] Self-learning and optimization iteration: Through long-term operation data accumulation, the system self-learns the building carbon emission pattern and continuously optimizes the decision-making algorithm; for example:
[0160] The system automatically adjusts the equipment operation strategy based on historical operation data and external environmental changes (such as weather changes, seasonal influences, etc.), gradually improving the accuracy of decision-making.
[0161] This step mainly uses the system to aggregate data from various edge computing devices, conduct global analysis and make intelligent decisions to further optimize the building's carbon emission control.
[0162] Furthermore, the above carbon emission monitoring and alarming includes the following steps:
[0163] 7.1 Real-time carbon emission monitoring
[0164] Local analysis on edge devices: Edge computing devices perform preliminary analysis on the collected carbon emission data; for example:
[0165] When a rapid increase in carbon emissions is detected over a certain period of time, the edge device will immediately calculate and determine whether an alarm is needed.
[0166] 7.2 Carbon Emission Anomaly Detection
[0167] Abnormal threshold setting: Set reasonable carbon emission thresholds according to different areas and equipment in the building; for example:
[0168] The carbon emission threshold of the office area is lower, while the threshold of the dining area is relatively higher; the system sets different upper limits according to actual conditions;
[0169] Over-threshold alarm mechanism: When the carbon emissions of a certain area or equipment exceed the set threshold, the system will automatically trigger an alarm; for example:
[0170] When kitchen equipment malfunctions or is used improperly, causing a surge in carbon emissions, the system immediately sends out an alarm and notifies relevant managers to take action.
[0171] 7.3 Alarm feedback mechanism
[0172] Multi-level alarm mechanism: The system provides different levels of alarms according to the severity of the abnormal situation; for example:
[0173] When the limit is slightly exceeded, the system alerts managers via email or app;
[0174] If carbon emissions continue to exceed the standard or reach a serious level, the system will issue an emergency alarm, accompanied by voice notifications, mobile phone text messages and other channels to ensure that the alarm is received.
[0175] Automated emergency response: For serious over-limit situations, the system automatically triggers emergency measures; for example:
[0176] The system can automatically shut down or reduce the power of specific high-energy-consuming devices to quickly reduce carbon emissions.
[0177] 7.4 Alarm log recording and analysis
[0178] Alarm event log recording: Each alarm event will be recorded in the log by the system for subsequent analysis and improvement; for example:
[0179] Record the time when the standard is exceeded, the equipment that exceeds the standard, the triggering cause and the solution;
[0180] Alarm data analysis and optimization: Based on historical alarm data, the system analyzes areas and equipment where carbon emission problems frequently occur, and further optimizes the alarm mechanism; for example:
[0181] Through alarm data, we can identify the problem of long-term excessive carbon emissions in a certain device or area, and then update the equipment or adjust the strategy.
[0182] This step mainly involves real-time monitoring of building carbon emissions through intelligent monitoring methods, ensuring timely alarms when abnormalities occur and ensuring efficient and stable operation of the system.
[0183] Furthermore, the above security and data protection measures include the following steps:
[0184] 8.1 Data encryption and transmission security
[0185] Data encryption storage: All carbon emission data in the system must be encrypted and stored to prevent unauthorized access; for example:
[0186] Use mainstream encryption technologies such as AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) to encrypt data to ensure the security of sensitive data;
[0187] Secure transmission protocol: Encrypted transmission protocols (such as TLS / SSL) are used to ensure the security of carbon emission data during transmission; for example:
[0188] When the system transmits data, the TLS protocol is used to prevent the data from being intercepted or tampered with during transmission.
[0189] 8.2 Permission Management and Access Control

[0222] Figure 1 : Schematic diagram of the method flow of the present invention; DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0223] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:
[0224] Example: Figure 1 As shown, a building carbon measurement method based on edge computing includes the following steps:
[0225] Step 1: Multi-point collection of building carbon emission data
[0226] Sensors are installed at key locations in the building, and the selection of these locations is based on a detailed analysis of the building's energy consumption and environmental impact. For example, power consumption sensors are installed in the main distribution board and branch circuits of key electrical equipment to monitor real-time power usage. Gas usage sensors are installed at the gas inlet of the building to monitor gas consumption. Ambient temperature and humidity sensors are installed at air-conditioning outlets, return air outlets, and crowded areas to monitor indoor air quality. Gas composition sensors are installed indoors and outdoors to monitor the concentration of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane. Equipment working status sensors are installed at key equipment such as elevators, boilers, air-conditioning units, etc. to monitor the operating status and energy consumption of the equipment.
[0227] Step 2: Data preprocessing and edge device upload
[0228] The data collected by the sensors is initially processed locally, including:
[0229] Data Denoising: Use digital filtering techniques, such as moving average filtering or wavelet transforms, to remove data fluctuations caused by electrical interference or sensor noise.
[0230] Data filtering: Apply threshold detection algorithms to remove data points that are outside the normal operating range of the equipment. For example, a sudden spike in power consumption of an air conditioning unit to twice the normal range could indicate a sensor failure or equipment anomaly.
[0231] Outlier detection: Use statistical methods, such as standard deviation analysis or boxplots, to identify and handle outliers.
[0232] The processed data is transmitted to the edge computing device through the local area network. Data transmission uses the MQTT protocol, which is a lightweight publish / subscribe message transmission protocol suitable for the IoT environment.
[0233] Step 3: Real-time carbon emissions calculation on edge devices
[0234] Edge computing devices perform real-time carbon emissions calculations using the following methods:
[0235] Electricity consumption: Carbon emissions are calculated based on electricity consumption and the average carbon emission factor of the power grid. For example, if the building consumes 1,000 kWh of electricity and the carbon emission factor of the power grid is 0.9 kg CO2 / kWh, the carbon emissions are 900 kg CO2.
[0236] Gas consumption: Carbon emissions are calculated based on gas consumption, gas calorific value and carbon emission factor. For example, if gas consumption is 100 cubic meters, gas calorific value is 35.8 MJ / m3, and carbon emission factor is 2.75 kg CO2 / MJ, then carbon emissions are 2.75 kg CO2 / MJ × 35.8 MJ / m3 × 100 cubic meters = 983.5 kg CO2.
[0237] Partition calculation: Divide the building into multiple areas, such as office areas, conference rooms, computer rooms, etc., and calculate the carbon emissions of each area based on the energy consumption and equipment usage of each area.
[0238] Step 4: Analysis and feedback of local carbon emissions
[0239] Edge computing devices perform carbon emissions analysis, identify high-emission areas or equipment, and analyze energy efficiency data to identify inefficiencies or failures. For example, if carbon emissions in one area are consistently higher than in other areas, the system may recommend checking whether the air conditioning system in that area is operating inefficiently. Local feedback information generated by the system may include adjusting the operating hours of equipment, optimizing air conditioning temperatures, or reducing the use of high-emission equipment.
[0240] Step 5: Edge computing and cloud co-processing
[0241] Edge computing devices regularly upload processed data to cloud servers for long-term data storage and in-depth analysis. Cloud servers use big data analysis tools, such as Apache Hadoop or Spark, to process and analyze large amounts of data. Cloud analysis can provide carbon emission trend analysis, equipment health monitoring, and higher-level management decision support, such as predicting building carbon emissions for a certain period of time in the future.
[0242] Step 6: Intelligent Optimization and Decision Making
[0243] The system continuously optimizes the carbon emission calculation model through machine learning algorithms and provides dynamic optimization suggestions in the building management system. For example, the system may learn that at a certain time of the day, carbon emissions can be significantly reduced by reducing the operation of the air conditioning system with minimal impact on indoor comfort.
[0244] Step 7: Carbon emission monitoring and alarm
[0245] The system continuously monitors carbon emissions in various areas or equipment. When abnormally high carbon emissions are detected, edge computing devices can trigger alarms in real time. Alarms can be sent via email, text messages, or the building management system interface, and abnormal events are recorded, alerting managers and suggesting measures such as shutting down specific equipment or adjusting regional environmental parameters.
[0246] Step 8: Security and Data Protection Measures
[0247] During the entire data transmission and processing process, the system uses data encryption and access control mechanisms to ensure data security and privacy protection. Data is encrypted using AES before transmission to ensure data security during transmission. The system also implements strict access control so that only authorized personnel can access sensitive data. In addition, the system also deploys firewalls and intrusion detection systems to prevent network attacks.
