A Building’s Refurbishment Knowledge and Device Based Decision Support System

  • Conference paper

Part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science book series (LNISA,volume 4101)

Abstract

The integration of knowledge-based, devices-based and decision support systems have a very promising future in scientific research. The authors of this paper participated in the project Framework 6, ‘Bringing Retrofit Innovation to the Application of Public Buildings’ (BRITA in PuBs). One of the project’s goals was to develop a Building’s Refurbishment Knowledge and Device Based Decision Support System (BR-KDDSS), which consists of a Decision Support Subsystem, Knowledge Subsystem and Device Subsystem. In order to demonstrate the integration of knowledge, device and decision support systems, the BR-KDDSS will be considered as an example.
