Building mechatronics simulation system

Abstract—In international references a net zero-energy building (NZEB) is defined as a residential or commercial building with greatly reduced energy needs through efficiency gains such that the balance of energy needs can be supplied with renewable technologies. According to this general term definition, the essence of the concept is that by using low-cost and locally available nonpolluting sources, they generate energy onsite, in a quantity equal or greater than the total amount of energy consumed onsite in the building. By using integrated design and building technologies, designer engineers are able to determine which energy efficiency strategies and what type of renewable onsite generation will contribute to higher energy performance to meet the requirements of the residential or commercial building considered. Therefore, it can be clearly established what kind of design and development strategies must be adopted in order to ensure an adequate energy balance, and as a result, comfortable and healthy home or workplace is possible to be created, with general characteristics that make NZEB buildings desirable and financially rewarding as well. Keywords—energy, energy efficiency, energy in buildings, energy supply, renewable energy sources, sustainable energy management I. INTRODUCTION OWADAYS, there is a growing demand for the application of renewable energy or the optimised use of conventional forms of energy. The main key is building mechatronics which can optimise the current, inuse systems, provides a higher level of security, the supervision and control of the building depending on the demands of the consumers. It is no doubt among scientist focused on this research area that nowadays the net zero-energy goal becomes more practical and has been emerged among the most important research tasks of the engineering community. Therefore, not only the progress made in the new renewable technologies makes possible a rapid advancement in this scientific area, but it is highly improved by academic research as well. As a result of these efforts, in the last decade a high amount of leadingedge case studies have been published in international journals to demonstrate the progress toward achieving net zero-energy goal in concrete examples [1]-[4]. Without entering in detailed theoretical approaches, it is mentioned here that according to reference [1], four commonly used definitions are discussed in the international references: net zero site energy, net zero source energy, net zero energy costs, and net zero energy emissions. This classification is mentioned just to outline that the zero-energy concept allows for a wide range of approaches due to many options for producing and conserving energy combined with the many ways of measuring energy. Additionally a particular difference is made in usage between North America and Europe regarding the ZEB concept and its definition. However, here the commercial and residential buildings that uses non-polluting sources, they generate energy onsite, embedding complex heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems (HVAC), supervising and event monitoring systems, or other complex automation systems that operates together to achieve the above mentioned NZEB goal, will be referred in a short way as “intelligent buildings”. Obviously, the main goal of this paper is not to unfold the theoretical considerations regarding the above referred theoretical concepts, but rather to introduce our design and development strategies regarding the intelligent buildings implementation that are capable to reach as much as possible the mentioned NZEB goal. In the University of Debrecen, Faculty of Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Mechatronics Department a unique form of education came to existence. Building Mechatronics is educated only there in Hungary. The researchers of this department had published many of their results during the last years [5], [6], [7]. The Department has a Bachelor of Science Program and since 2013 a joint Master of Science Program in Advanced Mechatronics Systems together with the Department of Mechatronics and Robotics, University of Oradea (Romania).

III. BUILDING MECHATRONICS SIMULATION SYSTEM In accordance with the adopted development strategy, the first layer implementation requires the input information regarding the architectural features and specifics of the building considered for experiment. For this reason a LabView software-based supervising and event monitor system has been designed, of which’s input information is considered the building’s cadastral plan in a .jpeg or .bmp file format. This plan indicates all the building rooms, the sizes of these, annex buildings, existing basements, the number of doors and windows, or other important particularities. The program fixes this file on the design desktop of the LabView toolkit and places it as a background element. At the same time, it is also necessary to indicate the lighting elements placement, the fan coils or other heating elements arrangement in the building. If this information is available, the designer marks all them on the desktop as shown in Fig. 5. Here an arbitrary chosen building plan is indicated, free downloaded from the www.schwabinvest.hu internet page. In the considered building are also placed motion detection sensors, therefore if there are no persons in the building (or at nighttime) the entrance door and all the lighting elements switches off. It is self-understanding that the sensors can be programmed for arbitrary timing intervals and the garage doors closes automatically as well.

These abilities recommend to be used as a general framework for a wide range of residential or commercial building applications, without any major changes in its structure or additional reprogramming efforts. By using the given results, the energetics simulation can be realized without operating the building. Based on the simulation system, the regulation system can be regulated, can be made unique. V.

TNM, Building Energy Certificate in Hungary Fig. 5. The arrangement of the LabView graphical elements on the design surface The graphical elements placed on the desktop surface are arranged after the following rule: 1)the doors are marked with green squares; 2)the windows are marked with blue squares; 3)the lighting elements are yellow circles; 4)the motion sensors are marked with gray oval circles; 5)the fan coils and heating elements are marked with red squares. This monitoring system can be arbitrary linked with the alarm system of the building. In the given example the alarm system operates only if all the windows of the building are closed, otherwise turns off and indicates this state. Of course, according to the customer needs, the building alarm system could be operated after any other programmed logic required. IV. CONCLUSION For the modern and qualified tuition, the effective cooperation of industry and academy is required. There can be special demands of laboratories: industrial technologies and results are needed to be taught and open technologies for researches: scientific works, thesis on the level of MSc and PhD. The heat pump system installed in the Intelligent Building is controlled by the NI sbRio 9606 card. It is flexibly reconfigurable according to the building services demands. We built up a Master-Slave Simulation System from two FPGA controlled sbRio card which is able to simulate the building, the building services, supervision and communication. One sbRio 9606 is built in the Heat pump system with solar collectors. The tested programs can be transplanted without any change into the heat pump systems’ control. The sbRio simulation system is up-todate and can be used any times. There are some basic building services implemented in the system which proves the reliable working of the Simulation System. The test operations of this graphical oriented program show that it is well feasible for the above mentioned purposes, representing an efficient real-time operating program with userfriendly interface. At the same time it remarks with an immense flexibility, it is easy-to-use, and allows rapid configuration facilities. These abilities recommend to be used as a general framework for a wide range of residential or commercial building applications, without any major changes in its structure or additional reprogramming efforts. By using the given results, the energetics simulation can be realized without operating the building. Based on the simulation system, the regulation system can be regulated, can be made unique. V.
