Abstract Modern day building design projects require multidisciplinary expertise from architects and engineers across various phases of the (conceptual, preliminary, detailed) construction processes. The Architecture Engineering Construction (AEC) community has recently shifted gears toward leveraging optimization techniques to make well-informed decisions in buildings. However, most efforts ar...

Building automation integrates the active components in a building and, thus, has to connect components of different industries. The goal is to provide reliable and efficient operation. This paper describes how simulation can support building automation and how the deployment process of simulation assisted building control systems can be structured. We look at the process as a whole and map it ...
