Experiment strategy for evaluating advanced building energy management system

Abstract Buildings are envisioned to play an active role in future low-carbon energy systems. The complexity of building management systems increases as they interface more and subsystems domains. As important step achieve a higher technology readiness level, these need be systematically tested real-life conditions. Currently, there no standard testing experiment strategies buildings handle the mentioned complexity. Additionally, levels details reported existing experimental studies heterogeneous. This paper summarizes application holistic method flexible fully-equipped prosumer with goal facilitating test preparation, execution, replication, comparison. Several empirical suggestions provided, hybrid quantification strategy digital twins is presented.
