A new emulator and a method for using it to evaluate building energy management systems.

Author(s) : KARKI S. H., LAPPALAINEN V. E.

Summary

An emulator is a testing facility for heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) control systems and energy production equipment. The emulator comprises both actual physical equipment and computer simulation models. It is suitable for use in testing, product development, training, tuning automation equipment, imitating fault situations, and load testing and performance measurements for real process equipment. The paper describes the configuration of an emulator and presents a first proposal for a testing and evaluation method of HVAC automation equipment. The proposed method is intended only for the evaluation of HVAC control and automation systems. The first experiences using the evaluation method are discussed.
