Diagnosis of sensor grids in a building context: Application to an office setting

At the beginning, a succinct state of art is provided for existing fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) methods. Then, the diagnosis algorithm is proposed: it deals with a BRIDGE approach of FDD for a building system focusing on sensor grids. Sensor faults are diagnosed thanks to detection tests and diagnosis first principle. In addition, this approach provides the possible fault modes including multiple sensor faults. Finally, a series of tests are performed in order to validate the approach. An application example shows the efficiency of the proposed technique: an office setting at Grenoble Institute of Technology.
