27. Problem 27   Statement   •  A  sophisAcated  centralized  control  system  can  not  be  based  on  limited   hardware  controllers   •  There  is  no  framework  for  the  development  of  energy  efficiency  applicaAons,  or   any  kind,  but  specially  these  one’s     •  The  implementaAon  of  this  energy  efficiency  techniques  requires  real  Ame  data   processing  capabiliAes   •  CollecAng  such  data  requires  a  session  management  component,  because  BASs   aeach  and  detach  their  IP  gateways  in  an  intermieent  way  
28. Problem 28   Impact   •  Queries  over  historical  data  would  be  accessible  for  applicaAons   •  RegistraAon  of  new  data  points  based  on  the  exisAng  (virtual  data  points)   ones   •  A  real-­‐Ame  noAficaAons  and  alarms  could  be  triggered  based  on  sets  of   condiAons   •  UAlity  consumpAon  allocaAon  to  people,  spaces  and  Ame  periods  would  be   reachable  for  applicaAons  of  mulAple  buildings  
29. Problem •  Is  it  possible  to  create  an  hardware-­‐independent    framework     enabling  development  of  applicaAon  for  buildings?   •  Can  such  framework  enable  the  deployment  of  energy  efficiency   applicaAons  for  mulAple  buildings?   •  Such  framework  would  allow  provider  independence,     thus  abolishing  vendor  lock-­‐in  pracAces   29   Statement

47. Related  Work Discussion   47   •  BEMS  features  are  known,  therefore  the  variability  of   applicaAon  needs  are  low!   •  Middleware  for  BASs  exists,  but  do  not  solve  the   heterogeneity  problem  completely   •  There  is  no  plalorm  for  the  development  of  energy  efficiency   applicaAons  for  buildings  
48. Related  Work Discussion   48   •  A  plalorm,  enabling  applicaAons  to  perform  queries  over   real-­‐Ame  data  from  BAS,  would  unleash  endless  possibiliAes   •  Such  queries  are  hard  to  perform,  because  they  involve  real-­‐ Ame,  and  some  are  not  known  at  start  (ad-­‐hoc)   •  Moreover,  such  framework  must  be  able  to  deal  with  streams   of  data  coming  from  intermieent  data  sources
