(SEB-COntrol ) Online monitoring and Control using LabView
Indoor air quality control using CFD
Lecturer: Prof. Jafar Mahmoudi
Course Period: 3 Days
Aim: It describes a system which has been designed to reduce energy consumption in buildings up to 40%; with achievement of optimal trade-off between energy saving and Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) and in particular. This will be done through smart monitoring and intelligent decision-making system of the Building Energy Management System (BEMS).
SEB-Control, could be addressed as the most optimum method for controlling the energy consumption, i.e. controls, manages and monitors building equipment such as lightening, HVAC, boiler, and fan systems.
Traditionally the BEMS systems are operated manually, based on set point tables that correspond to steady state operation. SEB-Control aims to develop a control system based on a CFD numerical model of different operating parameters such as temperature, pressure, air velocity, pollution, etc that is used to automatically calculate zone set points that are intended to be implemented to the BEMS system.
SEB-Control will be employed to optimize the air flow, indoor temperature (based on outdoor temperature) and pressure.
Intended for: Building industries including Operating, Contracting, Service Company and Regulatory Authority personnel
