A modular optimisation model for reducing energy consumption in large scale building facilities

In this paper we present how a modular based optimisation system can be efficiently used for running energy simulation and optimisation in order to fulfil a number of energy related objectives. The solution can address the variability in building dynamics and provide support for building managers in implementing energy efficient optimisation plans. We present the optimisation system that has been implemented based on energy saving specifications from EU FP7 project - SportE2 (Energy Efficiency for Sport Facilities) and evaluate the efficiency of the system over a number of relevant use-case scenarios.
