Abstract
Heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems account for about 40% of energy used in buildings in the United States in 2008. Analysis of the energy efficiency of HVAC systems requires building-related information, such as building design, HVAC configurations, indoor environment measurements and load requirements. However, since building projects involve multiple disciplines, the needed information is stored in heterogeneous sources, such as design drawings, equipment manuals and sensor networks. It is hence difficult for system operators to collect and integrate the information required for analyzing the performance of HVAC systems. This paper explores the approaches to overcome this challenge of integrating heterogeneous information sources to support the information required for analyzing the performance of HVAC systems. The discussions include a synthesis of the characteristics of integration approaches from various domains, and an analysis of the relationships between the characteristics and the information sources required for analyzing performance of HVAC systems.
