Building simulation of energy consumption and ambient temperature: application to the PREDIS platform

This paper presents the first step modelling process of a smart building  in order to ensure better energy management and human comfort in buildings. It consists on combining physical models and experimental measurements in order to have more adapted models for virtual simulation and optimal control. Advantages and difficulties related to this process will be detailed through a defined use case of a smart building: PREDIS.   The paper starts, by introducing the studied building and its different components: HVAC system and thermal envelope. Each one is modelled and validated with measurement data.
