Buildings and community energy systems continue to require increased performance, provide services to the grid, and facilitate the integration of renewable energy and waste heat sources, while providing better comfort. Consequently, their energy and control systems are becoming more integrated and complex. Arguably, current building simulation programs have not been designed with these new and emerging requirements in mind. This talk, an IBPSA webinar session, therefore presents technologies and open-standards that are well positioned to address these new challenges. It will explain underlying principles for modular modeling that allows reasoning about the system as well as formal manipulations of the model to address different applications, ranging from design to verification and operation of building systems.
