Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current building automation systems lack the ability to efficiently analyze and optimize operating parameters, leading to high energy consumption, maintenance costs, and inadequate thermal comfort, due to the absence of tools that can analyze and optimize the quality of building control systems without requiring detailed knowledge of system programming or manufacturer cooperation.
Innovation Solution
A system for automated analysis and optimization of building automation systems, which connects building control systems to an analysis server via a data module that reads raw operating data and uses statistical methods and machine learning to assign data to specific physical parameters and systems, allowing for quality checking and optimization without prior knowledge of the building control or systems, and enables data collection across different manufacturers and systems.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If detailed knowledge of system programming and manufacturer cooperation is required to analyze building control systems, then analysis accuracy can be improved, but system complexity and ease of operation deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The analysis server automatically analyzes building control system data without requiring manual intervention, expert knowledge, or manufacturer cooperation. The system self-services by autonomously processing raw operating data, identifying optimization potentials, and generating analysis results independently.
Solution Approach 2:
The analysis server acts as an intermediary between the building control system and the user. It receives raw operating data from the building control system, performs comprehensive analysis, and delivers interpreted results without requiring the user to have specialized knowledge or contact manufacturers directly.
2Productivity
If comprehensive data analysis is performed on building automation systems, then energy efficiency and system optimization improve, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The analysis function is extracted from the building control system itself and placed in a separate, independent analysis server. This externalization allows comprehensive data analysis without increasing the complexity of the original building control system, as the analysis is performed by a dedicated external component.
Solution Approach 2:
The analysis server is designed as a universal platform that can analyze multiple different building control systems and various building systems (HVAC, lighting, security) through a single interface. This multi-functionality approach avoids the need for separate specialized analysis tools for each system type, thereby reducing overall complexity.
3Ease of operation
If real-time data analysis is implemented without manufacturer cooperation, then ease of operation improves, but measurement precision may deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The analysis server autonomously processes and interprets raw operating data without requiring manufacturer intervention. It self-services by automatically identifying data patterns, optimization potentials, and system states, thereby maintaining ease of operation while achieving sufficient analysis precision for practical applications.
