Abstract

Fast and easy advanced model-based control design for energy-efficient multi-zone buildings is crucial for optimal energy savings, and this strongly depends on the availability and capability of advanced simulation and control design software and tools. In this paper, first a state-of-the-art review of the commonly used major software and tools by the community is done with respect to the barriers they present to advanced model-based control design for energy-efficient buildings. Next, the relevant novel concept of Functional Moke-up Interface is reviewed and the associated advances up to date are summarized. Finally, a set desired control-oriented features for new generation tools are given towards better solutions for energy-efficient building control designs.
