Information Integration and Semantic Interpretation for Building Energy System Operation and Maintenance

Data Ontology Assessment To Support Smart And Ongoing Commissioning Of Buildings

“…Figure 3 indicates that among the building data types in building ontologies, the most common were building sensor and parameter data and physical building information. The use of BMS and integrated sensors have become more prevalent attributing the pervasive representation of building sensor and parameter data in the ontologies reviewed [26,5,27,28]. The prevalent use of BMS also speaks to the frequent inclusion of building actuator data.…”

“…On the basis of the reviewed ontologies an SOCx ontology should cover KPIs at various spatial and temporal scales for building performance assessment, contextual information for reasoning situations, and control and optimization rules for building performance improvement. Only 32% of papers included KPI semantic data in their ontologies [2,31,23,32,33,5,4,34,28,35].…”

A review of ontologies within the domain of smart and ongoing commissioning

Since the extraction of some data types (e.g.…”

“…The relevant reused ontologies in these cases were classified under top-level ontologies in Table 4 based on Guarino's [20] definition. IFC schema [60], [63], [64], [53], [68], [ Within the literature, there were several ontologies reused frequently by ontology developers. The two main domains for which existing ontologies were frequently reused were BMS (indoor conditions and building systems/components) and physical building information.…”
