Cloud computing services for the design and optimal management of buildings

The optimal building management models require predicting the behaviour of building systems. To achieve this goal, we propose to make available on the web remote computing services for the composition, simulation and optimization of equipments. A paradigm shift is necessary in order to fulfil this goal. We show in this study that models can be embedded in software components and made available on the web without any special programming skills. A proof-of-concept prototype is provided as demonstration, and a remote optimization is done without ever holding the model as a possible use of such a concept.
