Connecting Buildings to Public Safety Networks

February 25, 2010
Author(s)
Alan B. Vinh, David G. Holmberg
The operation of modern commercial buildings uses digital control systems which monitor a vast amount of sensors. These sensors in turn produce data that is available for building control but also can be mission-critical for effective emergency response

Effect of Heat Pump Commissioning Faults on Annual Energy Use

January 24, 2010
Author(s)
Piotr A. Domanski, Hugh Henderson, William V. Payne
The study sought to develop an understanding of the impact of commissioning common faults the energy consumption of an air-to-air heat pump installed in a single-family house. Through annual simulations of the house/heat pump system, the study found that

BACnet and the Smart Grid

November 1, 2009
Author(s)
David G. Holmberg, Steven T. Bushby
The future Smart Grid will be a transformation of the current electric grid. The key enablers for this transformation will be dynamic rates and the ability for customers and the utility to communicate and respond in real time. This in turn will produce an

The Virtual Cybernetic Building Testbed-A Building Emulator

July 16, 2009
Author(s)
Steven T. Bushby, Michael A. Galler, Natascha S. Milesi-Ferretti, Cheol D. Park
Building emulators couple computer simulations to real control hardware, creating a useful tool for studying building control system performance. The National Institute of Standards and Technology's Virtual Cybernetic Building Testbed (VCBT) is a whole

Connecting Buildings to Public Safety Networks

July 13, 2009
Author(s)
Alan B. Vinh, David G. Holmberg
The operation of modern buildings can support a vast amount of static and real-time data. Static information such as building schematics is vital for security and rescue purposes. First responders can be notified of designated building alerts in real-time

Advancing Automated Demand Response Technology

January 28, 2009
Author(s)
Steven T. Bushby, David G. Holmberg
For several years electric utilities have implemented a wide variety of programs to curtail load in times of stress on the electricity distribution grid or on generating capacity. Although these programs have shared a common goal of reducing peak

Facility Interface to the Smart Grid

December 31, 2008
Author(s)
David G. Holmberg
Homes, commercial buildings and the industrial sector together represent 100 percent of the load on the electric grid. Beyond load, these facilities provide a growing amount of electric generation and storage in the form of distributed energy resources
