Towards Zero Energy Balance in Tertiary Buildings*

The present work details the development of an integrating system of energy processes and resources within tertiary buildings, including the design of an intelligent management system that learns and predicts future scenarios and actions based on historical data. The work being done includes the development of a centralized data warehousing system, energy consumption and generation monitoring and visualization, and full SCADA and automation designs and systems integration, concerning renewable energy resources, energy consumptions and the addition of a solar energy based refrigeration system. Above all the different levels, an intelligent control development produces the adequate actions to manage all the processes based on dynamic models and prediction of scenarios and future outcomes.
