METHOD OF OPERATING A BUILDING ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

摘要

A method of operating a building environment management system (BEMS) is disclosed along with a system to perform the same. The method comprises: a) obtaining zone environmental sensor data and zone set-points for two or more zones in a building; b) computing, for each zone, a request for a minimum cooling/heating air supply rate to meet the zone set-points; c) communicating the request for each zone to a scheduler; d) receiving, at the scheduler, the requests for each zone and energy efficiency data on one or more components of the BEMS; e) calculating an air supply strategy comprising a cooling/heating air supply allocation for each zone to minimise energy consumption of the one or more components, while aiming to satisfy all zone set-point requirements; and f) controlling the BEMS to deliver the allocation of step e) to each zone.
