Abstract

There has been increased interest in Smart and Ongoing Commissioning solutions to address the performance drift in existing buildings. Autonomous/autonomic systems are valuable tools to support the development such solutions, working towards a set of goals while sensing changes in their environment and adapting to them without human intervention. An autonomic approach to smart building design can thus maintain optimum energy efficiency while reducing operating costs. To support this development, this paper presents B-SMART: the first reference architecture for autonomic smart buildings to support smart commissioning. This research was informed by a comprehensive review of existing autonomic properties and domain-relevant autonomic properties and conceptual architecture. By decoupling conceptually distinct layers of functionality and organizing them into an autonomic energy optimization control loop, B-SMART facilitates the autonomic optimization of smart buildings.
