Effective Decision Support Systems (DSS) for
building service managers require adequate
performance data from many building data silos in
order to deliver a more complete view of building
performance. Current performance analysis
techniques tend to focus on a limited number of
data sources, such as data measured in a Building
Management Systems (BMS) (temperature,
humidity, CO2), excluding a wealth of other data
sources increasingly available in the modern
building, including weather data, occupant
feedback, mobile sensors & feedback systems,
schedule information, equipment usage
information.
As part of a wider decision support framework for
key building stakeholders, the paper presents a data
driven approach to the structured performance
assessment of buildings, utilising semantic web
technologies and performance metrics.
Taking an existing 14000m2 naturally-ventilated
university building, we illustrate how diverse
building data streams might be exposed and used
to drive decision support for building operators, in
the area of occupant satisfaction and performance
optimisation.
