“…SaBC provides the container for control decisions, but use cases as described in [11] have not been implemented. Instead, a regular interface between supervisory control and controller logic has been implemented to cover different control decision scenarios [2,17]. In [33], it has been discussed that the advanced SaBC feedback is desired; however, due to constraints in contracting, safety and security considerations it was not possible to implement it in a real building under operation.…”

“…The deployment is particularly challenging when compared to conventional automation systems, because there is a huge fragmentation among system manufacturers with regard to system architectures, data models, and data communication protocols. The proposed architecture has been derived from a process that is the result of previous projects [1] and additional field tests [2]. The architecture's outstanding property is that the deployment of Simulation-assisted Building Control system can be achieved completely technology independent to a degree where the different modules can be fully automated, semi-automated or even done under manual control.…”

Building automation integrates the active components in a building and, thus, has to connect components of different industries. The goal is to provide reliable and efficient operation. This paper describes how simulation can support building automation and how the deployment process of simulation assisted building control systems can be structured. We look at the process as a whole and map it to a set of formally described workflows that can partly be automated. A workbench environment supports the process execution by means of improved planning, collaboration and deployment. This framework allows integration of existing tools, as well as manual tasks, and is, therefore, many more intricate than regular software deployment tools. The complex environment of building commissioning requires expertise in different domains, especially lighting, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, measurement and control technology, as well as energy efficiency; therefore, we present a framework for building commissioning and describe a deployment process that is capable of supporting the various phases of this approach.
