Collecting and Managing Building Data

Collecting and ManagingBuilding Data

Jorge OrtizActionWebs Weekly Meeting

September 1, 2010

Buildings large electrical energy consumer

• 72% of electrical consumption, 40% of total consumption, 42% of GHG footprint

• 370 B$ in US annual utility bill• 9.5% of GDP in bldg

construction/renovation• Primarily Coal generation• 10-20% of the energy is wasted1

– Visibility and intelligence can help reduce waste2

Coal consumption by sector

1 K. W. Roth et al., Energy Impact of Commercial Building Controls and Performance Diagnostics, TIAX (http://apps1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/publications/pdfs/corporate/pnnl-15149_market_assessment.pdf, 2005).

Talk overview

• Building energy management goals• Cory Hall project• Simple Monitoring and Actuation Protocol

(sMAP)– Live, raw data

• Integrated Sensor-Stream Storage System (IS4)– Live, raw, contextualized and processed

• Current state and future work

Power proportionalityin buildings

• Uncover underlying energy usage– What are the usage patterns and models?

• Uncover available energy– How much energy is available?

• Electric, solar, wind, etc.

– How much does it cost? Etc.

• Shed unnecessary waste– Define efficiency metrics

• Schedule the remaining load– Optimization

REPEAT

Uncovering each layer

sMAP Overview

• Simple Monitoring and Action Profile• JSON data format for measuring,

sensing, and metering• HTTP/Restful interface to each sensor

or meter

Term DescriptionSensing sampling an instantaneous

physical quantity.Metering determining the integral of some

physical quantity over time.measurement point

Refers to a single physical point of instrumentation.

measurement channel

Measurement devices often derive multiple values from a single instrumentation point.

• Resource node hierarchy rules for each namespace– i.e. Room may have area child but not a floor child

• Some resource have “devices” child• “devices” contain device instances• Device instances contain publishers

– Publisher map to sMAP “measurement points”• Namespaces combined through measurement

Current state

• 69 raw stream sources available (sMAP)• 55 contextualized stream sources available

(IS4)• IS4 release available for download

– Version 2.0 to be released in a few weeks

(Near) future work

• Direct all sMAP feeds through IS4• Integrate modeling with querying features• Automatic device configuration
