Ontology Integration for Building Systems and Energy Storage Systems
Fang He, Dan Wang, Yaojie Sun · 2023
A building ontology defines the concepts and organization of building data. Such knowledge can be assistance with automatic data access and support data-driven applications in buildings. With technological advances in batteries and energy storage, an increasing number of data-driven building applications now involve both building systems and energy storage systems (ESS), e.g., peak load shaving (PLS). However, existing building ontologies, e.g., Brick, are not designed to include concepts from ESS systems. Given the emergence of building-ESS applications, it has become important to develop ontologies that can cover knowledge about both building and ESS systems.
