“…In [7] and [8] an open source platform for the semantic integration of energy information in buildings is presented, highlighting the benefits of creating common sets of vocabularies along the building lifecycle. The present work revisits this topic upon the utilization of the Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) data model (ISO 16739:2013), a standard for describing the building and its constituents commonly used in building information modeling (BIM) based projects within the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry.…”

The objective of this paper is to present a generic middleware conceived to operate as the linking element in platforms hosting smart energy management services to reduce energy consumption in buildings. This kind of solution presents specific requirements related to the need of accessing and managing different sources of information, internal and external to the building, and related to its structure, geometry, or energy consumption. This information is then processed by the system to determine how to improve the energy behavior of the building. In this context, different elements, communicating in a different way and speaking different languages, have to inter-operate with each other to reach the common objective of reducing the energy consumption by executing integrated energy management actions. With the aim of making this system interoperable, coherent, easily expandable, and transparent, the proposed middleware provides a homogeneous level of abstraction in this heterogeneous scenario.

The study conducts a comprehensive life cycle assessment (LCA) of precast sandwich panels by integrating operational and embodied phases detailing thermal efficiency and environmental impacts. The analytical regression model is developed for climatic diversity and design variables using the energy rating tool FirstRate5 to compare with a conventional brick veneer construction. LCA is performed on the building information modeling (BIM) platform to connect operational energy and express the relative embodied impacts of insulation constituents, compressive strength, reinforcement, and mix design. Monte Carlo simulation shows significant advantages of concrete sandwich panels in reducing operational H/C loads over building service life. LCA reveals a 100 mm thick external precast concrete wall with 50% fly ash reduces CO2 emission and energy demand by 54.7% and 75.9% consecutively against the benchmark. Moreover, it comprises 84.31% of the total building mass, accountable for only 53.27% of total CO2 emission and 27.25% of energy demand, which is comparatively lower than other materials. In the case of selecting lining insulation, a broader benefit is identified for extruded polystyrene (XPS) and expanded polystyrene (EPS) boards due to their relative weight, thickness, and environmental impacts. Representative equations of energy efficiency and impact assessment will assist in adopting sandwich panels for new construction and refurbishment with relative dimensions.
