This paper describes the extension of a building management system with an interface that allows the import of simulation models, control, and fault detection (FDD) algorithms. This interface is based on the Functional Mock-up Interface (FMI), and the Building Automation Java Architecture (Baja) standards. This allows HVAC designers and control vendors a) developing, testing and improving contr...

We present XBOS, an eXtensible Building Operating System for integrated management of previously isolated building subsystems. The key contribution of XBOS is the development of the Building Profile, a canonical, executable description of a building and its subsystems that changes with a building and evolves the control processes and applications accordingly. We discuss the design and implement...

The local community is a complex socio-economic system, and its ability to function for an indefinitely long period of time (viability) is not investigated sufficiently today. The purpose of the research was, using the cognitive mapping, propose to the local community management developing their own management strategies to ensure its viability. Considering the weakly structured subject area of...

On the basis of in-depth study of the large number of documents, current theoretical research on overseas construction management evaluation methods is summarized. Many advanced building management theories and current models are described, as well as learnt government regulations. The study also discussed the basic building management assessment methods employed currently. On the basis of rese...
