This method helps organizations that have identified a need to develop an EIS but can't find the time to define the complex requirements. It is a method intended to speed up the process without sacrificing the quality of the process. Energy management teams typically know a lot about the need for each requirement, but very little about the cost or effort to produce it. On the other hand, information technology (IT) development teams know more about costs and effort than the relevant importance of each of the requirements. Therefore, the conditions are set for confusion, and the likelihood of disagreements is high. Our goal in using this method of requirements definition is to prevent cost evaluation from tainting the need evaluation of any one of the proposed features of the EIS. This method breaks the requirements definition down into manageable tasks, evaluates the best balance between need and cost for each of the requirement tasks, and then produces a priority of work document to guide the development team.","PeriodicalId":136734,"journal":{"name":"Web Based Energy Information and Control Systems:","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114082042","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Motegi, Laurie ten Hope","doi":"10.1201/9781003151678-40","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1201/9781003151678-40","url":null,"abstract":"Machine to Machine (M2M) is a term used to describe the technologies that enable computers, embedded processors, smart sensors, actuators and mobile devices to communicate with one another, take measurements and make decisions--often without human intervention. M2M technology was applied to five commercial buildings in a test. The goal was to reduce electric demand when a remote price signal rose above a predetermine price. In this system, a variable price signal was generated from a single source on the Internet and distributed using the meta-language, XML (Extensible Markup Language). Each of five commercial building sites monitored the common price signal and automatically shed site-specific electric loads when the price increased above predetermined thresholds. Other than price signal scheduling, which was set up in advance by the project researchers, the system was designed to operate without human intervention during the two-week test period. Although the buildings responded to the same price signal, the communication infrastructures used at each building were substantially different. This study provides an overview of the technologies used at each building site, the price generator/server, and each link in between. Network architecture, security, data visualization and site-specific system features are characterized. The results of the test are discussed, including: functionality at each site, measurement and verification techniques, and feedback from energy managers and building operators. Lessons learned from the test and potential implications for widespread rollout are provided.","PeriodicalId":136734,"journal":{"name":"Web Based Energy Information and Control Systems:","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114231066","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
