Abstract
This paper introduces a proposal on developing a service oriented modelling and simulation architecture related to intelligent building management based on an existing open platform that is intended to allow different people to participate and contribute at developing a intelligent building management service ecosystem. In this way, both users and developers can compose new services, while the developer can focus on the most effective use of devices and data, instead of getting lost in upgrading to the latest device driver. The novelty of the proposed framework is the integration in the simulation loop of a Smart Building Controller that can control the real and virtual devices at the facility level. Therefore, the simulation model of the smart building integrates both real as well as simulated devices. The web-based service oriented software application allows to simulate the device-level and facility level behaviour of an intelligent building. It demonstrates a strategy to define an Intelligent Building Management solution that includes scenario simulation, testing of the functionality of the Smart Building Controller (SBC), device monitoring and control, report generation, and implementation of device web services.
