“…According to the 12 papers analyzed and summarized in Table 5, an SOA was implemented as a middleware service in 67% of the studies, while it was implemented as a web service in only 33% of the studies. However, these results indicate that SOA implementation in the studied context is in practice scarce since it is used only for the exchange of information of certain services, such as in [92], which developed a web service for the extraction of the data registered by sensors. However, there is a new paradigm called microservices, which presents various functionalities that would expand the functionalities of a software architecture aimed at the energy efficiency of buildings [36].…”

“…Interoperability: Many works analyzed this nonfunctional requirement since it is a crucial part of an architecture, giving systems the ability to exchange and share information regardless of the target language or system. Some of these studies adopted different techniques to conduct it, such as through web services [92]; however, in [101], the authors used fog computing to provide the necessary interoperability.

Towards a Service-Oriented Architecture for the Energy Efficiency of Buildings: A Systematic Review

Currently, smart buildings generate large amounts of data due to the many devices and equipment available. Hence, buildings implement building management systems (BMSs), which monitor, control, manage and analyze each of these components. However, current BMSs are incapable of managing a massive amount of data (big data) and therefore cannot extract knowledge or make intelligent decisions in quasi real time. In addition, there are serious limitations to integrating BMSs with other services since they generally use proprietary software. In this sense, service-oriented architecture (SOA) is an architectural style that allows one to build distributed systems and provide functionalities such as services to end users or other types of services. Therefore, an SOA has the great advantage of allowing the expansion of the functionalities of BMSs. In fact, there are several studies that address SOAs for building management. However, we have not found any description or systematic analysis in the literature that allows the development of a versatile and interoperable SOA focused on the energy efficiency of buildings and that can integrate massive data analysis features. For these reasons, this study seeks to fill this knowledge gap and, more specifically, to identify and analyze the various software requirements proposed in the literature and the characteristics of big data that allow for improving the energy efficiency of buildings. To this end, we performed an in-depth review of the literature according to the methodology proposed by Kitchenham. As a result of this review, we provide researchers with a specific vision of the requirements and characteristics to consider for software development aimed at the energy efficiency of unique or historic buildings.

“…An existing framework for the interoperability among smart grids is the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) framework, which includes protocols and standards for information management for the interoperability of smart grid systems and devices [14], yet such standards have not been developed on building and sub-building levels [15,16]. Multiple data models and schemes have been proposed and implemented by BEMS manufacturers and researchers on building and sub-building levels, despite the lack of interoperation standards [16][17][18]. This research established a hierarchical model for the representation of building energy consumption monitoring data that covers multiple granularities based on summarizing existing models.…”

Buildings account for a majority of the primary energy consumption of the human society, therefore, analyses of building energy consumption monitoring data are of significance to the discovery of anomalous energy usage patterns, saving of building utility expenditures, and contribution to the greater environmental protection effort. This paper presents a unified framework for the automatic extraction and integration of building energy consumption data from heterogeneous building management systems, along with building static data from building information models to serve analysis applications. This paper also proposes a diagnosis framework based on density-based clustering and artificial neural network regression using the integrated data to identify anomalous energy usages. The framework and the methods have been implemented and validated from data collected from a multitude of large-scale public buildings across China.

“…In Wong and Zhou [25], the authors review a number of studies addressing "environmental sustainability over building life cycles through green BIM" and identify that BIM used in operation and maintenance (OM) should provide efficiency, improve the quality of service to customers, reduce emergencies in OM, improve safety, and reduce resource waste. Gokce et al [26] develop a continuous assessment process by combining the data from different sources and phases in a single data repository centred on a building's BIM spaces. However, Reeven et al [27] highlight that a limitation in using BIM (associated with the building energy model (BEM)) for monitoring the building performance in operation is its "inability to simulate building performance under realistic conditions".…”

Optimizing Energy Efficiency in Operating Built Environment Assets through Building Information Modeling: A Case Study

Abstract:Reducing carbon emissions and addressing environmental policies in the construction domain has been intensively explored with solutions ranging from energy efficiency techniques with building informatics to user behavior modelling and monitoring. Such strategies have managed to improve current practices in managing buildings, however decarbonizing the built environment and reducing the energy performance gap remains a complex undertaking that requires more comprehensive and sustainable solutions. In this context, building information modelling (BIM), can help the sustainability agenda as the digitalization of product and process information provides a unique opportunity to optimize energy-efficiency-related decisions across the entire lifecycle and supply chain. BIM is foreseen as a means to waste and emissions reduction, performance gap minimization, in-use energy enhancements, and total lifecycle assessment. It also targets the whole supply chain related to design, construction, as well as management and use of facilities, at the different qualifications levels (including blue-collar workers). In this paper, we present how building information modelling can be utilized to address energy efficiency in buildings in the operation phase, greatly contributing to achieving carbon emissions targets. In this paper, we provide two main contributions: (i) we present a BIM-oriented methodology for supporting building energy optimization, based on which we identify few training directions with regards to BIM, and (ii) we provide an application use case as identified in the European research project "Sporte2" to demonstrate the advantages of BIM in energy efficiency with respect to several energy metrics.
