Building Energy Management Systems and Techniques: Principles, Methods, and Modelling

Building Energy Management Systems and Techniques: Principles, Methods, and Modelling presents the fundamental concepts, methodologies, modeling techniques, and design schemes of building energy management systems. Covering the latest developments and methodologies, the book brings together energy management, demand response, evolutionary computation, and fundamental programming. The book’s authors explore the fundamental concepts related to building energy management systems and put them into the context of smart grids, demand response and demand side management, Internet of Things, and distributed renewable energy. Advanced topics provide the reader with an understanding of various energy management scenarios and procedures for modern buildings in an automatic and highly renewable-penetrated building environment. This includes a range of energy management techniques for building-side energy resources such as battery energy storage systems, plug-in appliances, and HVAC systems.
