Model selection for continuous commissioning of HVAC-systems in office buildings: A review

摘要

This paper presents an overview of literature and procedures about real-life, state-of-the-art implementations of model-based (MB) Continuous Commissioning (CCx) in office buildings. The focus is on the building- and HVAC-models used for each of three distinct CCx-domains: The identification of energy conserving opportunities (ECOs), fault detection, diagnosis, evaluation and overhaul (FDDe) and model-based control (MBC). For each domain, the relations between chosen model structure, model order, parameter estimation procedure, available sensor data quality and calculation power are highlighted. These insights are critical for office building managers, BEMS manufacturers and researchers involved or interested in the selection and implementation of MBCC strategies.
