Digital Twins for Smart Buildings
[Closed]
Work description
Portugal has an obsolete building stock from an energy point of view (average age of buildings over 35 years) and buildings are responsible for about 30% of final energy consumption in Portugal. The ZEB project within ATE aims to develop a turnkey solution that allows the transformation and management of tertiary buildings (new and existing) in a more efficient way, making "Zero Energy Buildings" a reality. The project will develop a platform to manage and optimize the entire building through a single interface, with the following functionalities: (1) Integration and management of energy resources (e.g. photovoltaic panels, micro-generation wind turbines, batteries); (2) Universal building modeling system and recommendation of energy efficiency measures (digital twins applied to B2B buildings); (3) Equipment/energy consumption management system (and air quality and building comfort) based on video analytics, AIoT and artificial intelligence; (4) Platform for electric mobility in buildings (EV as mobile flexible charging with charging power regulation capability and V2G support); (5) Accounting for CO2 emissions.
