Title:
OPTIMIZING AND CONTROLLING ENERGY CONSUMPTION OF BUILDING
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2019190823
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide a method of optimizing and controlling the energy consumption of a building, which includes the following.SOLUTION: A method of optimizing and controlling the energy consumption of a building includes: a step 302 in which a first computing device generates a set of thermal response coefficients for the building on the basis of energy characteristics of the building and weather data associated with the location of the building; a step 304 in which the first computing device predicts an energy response of the building on the basis of the set of thermal response coefficients and forecasted weather associated with the location of the building; a step 306 in which the first computing device selects minimal energy requirements of the building on the basis of an energy consumption cost associated with the building; a step 308 in which the first computing device determines one or more temperature set points for the building on the basis of the energy response and the minimal energy requirements; and a step 310 in which the first computing device transmits the one or more temperature set points to a thermostat of the building.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3
