Building Automation and Control Systems and performance optimization: A framework for analysis

For these reasons, a framework for the analysis of the potential of Building Automation and Control Systems for performance optimization is proposed. This framework aims to highlight, in particular, the possibility of establishing an effective methodological continuity among building performance simulation, control and data analytics, not immediately recognizable in current practices. Further, it aims to envision the possibility of creating a unified methodological approach, which could guarantee multiple feed-backs from measured data, useful for the evolution, first of all, of design and operation practices but also, more in general, of the whole value chain of the building sector.
