In this paper, we present an open computing infrastructure, Virtual Information Fabric Infrastructure (VIFI), that allows building designers and engineers to enhance their simulations by combining empirical data with diagnostic or prognostic models. Based on the idea of dynamic data-driven application systems (DDDAS), the VIFI infrastructure complements conventional data-centric sharing strategies and addresses key data sharing concerns such as the privacy of building occupants. To demonstrate the potential of the VIFI infrastructure, we simulate an empirically-derived lighting schedule in the U.S. Department of Energy&#039;s small office building reference model. We use the case study simulation to explore the possibility and potential of integrating data-centric and analytic-centric sharing strategies; the method of combining empirical data with simulations; the creation, sharing, and execution of analytics using VIFI; and the impact of incorporating empirical data on energy simulations. While the case study reveals clear advantages of the VIFI data infrastructure, research questions remain surrounding the motivation and benefits for sharing data, the metadata that are required to support the composition of analytics, and the performance metrics that could be used in assessing the applications of VIFI.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Michael Wetter</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jianjun Hu</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Milica Grahovac</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brent Eubanks</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Philip Haves</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">OpenBuildingControl: Modeling Feedback Control as a Step Towards Formal Design, Specification, Deployment and Verification of Building Control Sequences</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018 Building Performance Modeling Conference and SimBuild co-organized by ASHRAE and IBPSA-USA</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">09/2018</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">https://www.ashrae.org/File%20Library/Conferences/Specialty%20Conferences/2018%20Building%20Performance%20Analysis%20Conference%20and%20SimBuild/Papers/C107.pdf</style></url></web-urls></urls><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chicago, IL</style></pub-location><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;This paper presents ongoing work to develop tools and a process that will allow building designers to instantiate control sequences, configure them for their project, assess their performance in closed loop building energy simulation, and then export these sequences (i) for the control provider to bid on the project and to implement the sequences through machine-to-machine translation, and (ii) for the commissioning agent to verify their correct implementation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The paper reports on the following: (i) The specification of a Control Description Language, (ii) its use to implement a subset of the ASHRAE Guideline 36 sequences, released as part of the Modelica Buildings library, (iii) its use in annual closed-loop simulations of a variable air- volume flow system, and (iv) lessons learned regarding simulation of closed-loop control.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In our case study, the Guideline 36 sequences yield 30% lower annual site HYAC energy use, under comparable comfort, than sequences published earlier by ASHRAE.

Commissioning identifies and implements cost-effective operational and maintenance measures in buildings to bring them up to the design intent or optimum operation. An existing office building is used as a case study to demonstrate the process of commissioning. Building energy benchmarking tools are applied to evaluate the energy performance for screening opportunities at the whole building level. A large natural gas saving potential was indicated by the building benchmarking results. Faulty operations in the HVAC systems, such as improper operations of air-side economizers, simultaneous heating and cooling, and ineffective optimal start, were identified through trend data analyses and functional testing. The energy saving potential for each commissioning measure is quantified with a calibrated building simulation model. An actual energy saving of 10% was realized after the implementations of cost-effective measures.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom2><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">LBNL-5940E</style></custom2></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>10</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Satish Narayanan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Michael G.

The field analysis, comprising three projects, included detailed monitoring, model-based analysis of system energy performance, and implementation of optimized control strategies for both district and building-scale systems. One project used models of the central cooling plant and campus building loads, and weather forecasts to analyze and optimize the energy performance of a district cooling system, comprising chillers, pumps and a thermal energy storage system. Fullscale implementation of policies devised with a model predictive control approach produced energy savings of about 5%, while demonstrating that the heuristic policies implemented by the operators were close to optimal during peak cooling season and loads. Research was also conducted to evaluate whole building monitoring and control methods. A second project performed in a campus building combined sub-metered end-use data, performance benchmarks, energy simulations and thermal load estimators to create a web-based energy performance visualization tool prototype. This tool provides actionable energy usage information to aid in facility operation and to enable performance improvement. In a third project, an alternative to demand controlled ventilation enabled by direct measurements of building occupancy levels was assessed. Simulations were used to show 5-15% reduction in building HVAC system energy usage when using estimates of actual occupancy levels.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Peter G.

However, starting in 2004, the California Energy Commission has been evaluating the possible use of EnergyPlus as the reference program in future revisions of Title-24. As part of this evaluation, the authors converted the Alternate Compliance Method (ACM) certification test suite of 150 &lt;em&gt;DOE-2&lt;/em&gt; files to &lt;em&gt;EnergyPlus&lt;/em&gt;, and made parallel &lt;em&gt;DOE-2&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;EnergyPlus&lt;/em&gt; runs for this extensive set of test cases. A customized version of &lt;em&gt;DOE-2.1E&lt;/em&gt; named doe2ep was developed to automate the conversion process. This paper describes this conversion process, including the difficulties in establishing an apples-to-apples comparison between the two programs, and summarizes how the &lt;em&gt;DOE-2&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;EnergyPlus&lt;/em&gt; results compare for the ACM test cases.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><call-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">LBNL-61527</style></call-num><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Simulation Research Group&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom1><custom2><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">LBNL-61527</style></custom2></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>10</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Christoph Nytsch-Geusen</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Thilo Ernst</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Peter Schneider</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mathias Vetter</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Andreas Holm</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Juergen Leopold</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ullrich Doll</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Andre Nordwig</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Peter Schwarz</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Christoph Wittwer</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Thierry Stephane Nouidui</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gerhardt Schmidt</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alexander Mattes</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MOSILAB: Development of a modelica based generic simulation tool supporting modal structural dynamics</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4th International Modelica Conference</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2005</style></year></dates><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hamburg, Germany</style></pub-location><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">pp.527-534</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>10</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Peter G.

The savings are estimated with the aid of parametric simulations from a sophisticated, hourly building energy simulation model. Two prototypes-a single-zone retail store and a multizone medium office building-are simulated for five U.S. locations. The model incorporates part-load performance curves for both inlet vane and adjustable-speed drive controls for fans and centrifugal chillers. The results identify economic conditions that justify the added expense of adjustable-speed drives.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">439</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Joseph H.

In this paper, we use a building energy simulation model, which allows us to hold fixed all influences on energy use besides weather, to evaluate several degree-day-based techniques. The evaluation is applied to simulated electricity and natural gas consumption for two large office building prototypes located in five U.8. climates. We review the development of degree day- based, weather-normalization techniques to identify issues for applying the techniques &lt;strong&gt;to &lt;/strong&gt;office buildings and then evaluate the accuracy of the techniques with the simulated data. We conclude that, for the two office building prototypes and five U.8. locations examined, most techniques perform reasonably well; accuracy, in predicting annual consumption, is generally better than 10%. Our major finding is that accuracy among individual techniques is overwhelmed by circumstances outside the control of the analyst, namely, the choice of the initial year from which the normalization estimates are made.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">113</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>10</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arthur L.

The study relies on computer simulations of energy use for a large office building prototype in El Paso, TX using the DOE-2 building energy analysis program. Increased Monday cooling energy requirements resulting from the weekend shut-down of HVAC systems are documented. Predictors of energy use and peak demands, which account for thermal storage in building mass, are described. Load-shifting, sub-cooling and pre-cooling equipment operating strategies are evaluated with explicit reference to utility rate schedules.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom2><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">LBL-19212</style></custom2></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>10</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Walter F.
