An automated monitoring system for surveillance and KPI calculation

Abstract

Monitoring is one of the key points in any retrofitting project because, thanks to its results, both the current and improved status can be analysed. Within this context, not only monitoring is important, but also consistency and coherency of data, as well as aggregated information is required. In that sense, surveillance methods and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) play a pivotal role. Thus, the project iNSPiRe develops an automated monitoring system able to store daily information, as well as automatically calculate KPIs by means of database technologies and determines alarms at different levels. With the obtained results, iNSPiRE aims at conceiving, developing and demonstrating Systemic Renovation Packages, through the innovative integration of envelope technologies, energy generation (including Renewable energy systems (RES) integration), energy distribution, lighting and comfort management systems into deep energy renovation of buildings, both in the residential and tertiary sectors. Then, the combination of the automated monitoring framework and the renovation packages, the goal is to achieve energy consumption for the building lower than 50 kWh/m2/year.
