Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation IOSB 
Short description of the project
When operating heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems in existing commercial buildings, it is often found that both heating and cooling provision and the individual room controls are parameterized very conservatively and the rooms are not heated or cooled as required. Permanent monitoring and optimization by qualified personnel is usually not profitable. Consistent and cost-effective solutions for existing buildings are not available in the desired form. In the project, therefore, an integrated value chain for the efficient monitoring and optimized operation of properties from the building stock is to be realized with low-investment measures. Perspectively, a supervision key of about 1:50 is aimed at. i.e. one energy manager supervises 50 objects.
Project goals
Our aspiration:
- Monitoring easily and efficiently
- From the measuring point concept to automated evaluations and support
- Data acquisition in high temporal resolution
Our target groups:
- Property operators
- Energy managers
- Consultants
- Architects and planners
Our demonstrator properties:
We demonstrate efficient monitoring at properties of different sizes - at two major hospitals, at a large as well as a smaller industrial company
Your advantages and benefits
- Reduction of energy consumption by 10- 20%
- Automated analysis and documentation of energy and operational data
- Controlling of energy targets e.g. according to ISO 50001, EMAS
- Access to energy experts
- Efficient monitoring and optimization of energy operations management (energy management as a service)
