Capturing high-resolution water demand data in commercial buildings

A High Resolution Energy Demand Model for Commercial Buildings

Energy consumption by commercial buildings is a major component of the total energy consumption. In the United States commercial buildings account for about 20 percent of the overall energy consumption, and this figure is expected to increase. In this paper, we model the energy consumption of commercial buildings. By taking into account a variety of factors that affect a building’s energy consu...

Heating System Control in Commercial Buildings with Peak Demand Adjustment

Wojciech Grega Piotr Bania Department of Automatics, AGH University of Science and Technology, 30-059 Kraków, Al. Mickiewicza 30, Poland [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper deals with a supervisory control strategy which enables to optimize heat energy distribution between buildings with discontinuous operation. The core principle of the energy saving algorithm is based on...

Findings from Seven Years of Field Performance Data for Automated Demand Response in Commercial Buildings

California is a leader in automating demand response (DR) to promote low-cost, consistent, and predictable electric grid management tools. Over 250 commercial and industrial facilities in California participate in fully-automated programs providing over 60 MW of peak DR savings. This paper presents a summary of Open Automated DR (OpenADR) implementation by each of the investor-owned utilities i...

Extraction of buildings from high resolution satellite data

This paper describes the methods that can be used to detect building objects under the circumstances of high object density and scene complexity seen in 1-metre high resolution satellite imagery. In order to reduce the building hypothesis space in early processes, a local Fourier analysis does an analysis of the dominant orientation angle in a building cluster. This serves to extract the focuse...
