Method and energy management unit for load scheduling in building automation

摘要

The present disclosure relates to method for scheduling the operation of at least one load (L) in a building automation system. The method comprises providing (S1) carbon dioxide emission control parameters based on carbon dioxide emission statistics, receiving (S2) user selection data in which the at least one load is associated with at least one of the carbon dioxide emission control parameters, and which user selection data comprises a user-selected constraint of a level of importance of limiting the operation of the at least one load to the selected at least one carbon dioxide emission control parameter, and determining (S3) a schedule according to which the at least one load is allowed to operate for a time period based on the user selection data and on carbon dioxide emission data concerning expected carbon dioxide emission during the time period. A computer program product and an energy management unit are also disclosed herein.
