Abstract:
Advances in technologies and the idea of incorporating technological solutions into buildings have made it possible to provide more comfortable and secure spaces for living or working. The term &ldquo
intelligent building&rdquo
is becoming very popular in terms of attaching prestige to a project and improving its desirability. However too many buildings are claimed to be intelligent and adaptive to change but, without an appropriate understanding of intelligent building concept and also capabilities of assessing an intelligent building, it is not possible to judge such claims. In view of the fact that truly intelligent buildings provide their occupants with efficient facilities and comfortable space, many experts and researchers have discussed the characteristics of intelligent buildings and come up with different definitions and assessment systems, but none agree with each other completely. The aim of this study was to evaluate intelligence in intelligent buildings and provide responsiveness clues in terms of system efficiency and user convenience to find out whether buildings claimed to be intelligent meet the intelligence requirements or not. v After conducting a literature survey to identify main intelligence characteristics, two buildings both claimed to be intelligent and able to provide occupants with healthy, secure and comfortable space, were selected as the case studies. The intelligent building principals and specific design considerations together with efficient system integration and system requirements were examined in the case studies. It was concluded that, even though case studies were admired in terms of holding commercial value and applying new technologies but there existed a lack in either employing or incorporating that technologies to meet desired responsiveness and dynamism which, are main attributes of intelligent buildings.

Abstract:
The economic and environmental benefits secured through the increased integration of photovoltaic (PV) technology into the built environment are undeniable and provide the principal motivation for this research. Present delays in the technology transfer of building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) can be attributed to the following; material cost, performance guarantee, increased installation complexity and unfamiliar technology. It is well understood that the temperature of a PV material receiving solar irradiation, will increase with solar intensity, while reducing in electrical efficiency. It therefore makes economic sense to minimise the increase in PV material temperature and maximise electrical energy yield. Through the addition of a convecting fluid, flowing over the surface of heated PV material, heat transfer will be induced. With the added benefit of warm air capture from an integrated photovoltaic/thermal (PVT) collector, the economic benefits are increased. But, to ensure maximum utilisation of both thermal and electrical energy production, a significantly more complex control system has to be employed than that for a PV system on its own. Modelling the energy flows within a multifunctional PVT building facade presents a problem of considerable complexity. Previous work in this area has centred on performing finite element analysis of the system in order to find solutions to complex algorithms. It requires considerable computational power to perform these calculations and often the results produced are much more detailed than required. Within this thesis, a fully operational PVT facade model is presented, giving the potential for improved multifunctional facade design. This new model has been developed into a software program for use within the TRNSYS environment. By using the TRNSYS software, a detailed building model has been created and integrated with the new PVT facade model. Simulations were then undertaken to evaluate the energy transfers between internal and external environments and the electrical and thermal energy capturing capabilities of the facade. Simulated results have been evaluated against experimental data taken from a fully operational PVT facade. The results conclude that the presented model simulates the energy flows around, through and within the facade (radiative, conductive, convective and electrical) very well. Performance enhancing development work is due to take place on the operational facade analysed in this work, very soon. This new facade model will be used as a tool to evaluate the proposed changes to the building prior to this development work being undertaken.

Abstract:
Process Automation has the potential to yield great benefits for companies and organizations, especially in the financial services industry where companies are information-intensive and experience rich data flows. This has mostly been done through Robotic Process Automation (RPA), but the increased maturity of Machine Learning algorithms has increased the viability of combining classic RPA with Artificial Intelligence, leading to Intelligent Process Automation (IPA). However, there is a set of challenges embedded in the transition from RPA to IPA. These challenges need to be dealt with in order to ensure that the benefits of the new technology can be harvested. The aim of this research was to identify this set of challenges that the companies will face, as well as provide guidance to what preparations that need to be made before IPA can be implemented in full scale. The research was conducted as a theory building case study at a large Swedish bank. An empirical study was conducted, consisting of interviews with researchers, as well as automation professionals and R&D at the case company. The findings of the empirical study and previous research on the area were combined and condensed into a guiding framework for organizations wanting to adopt IPA.
Processautomation har potentialen att ge stora fördelar för företag och organisationer, speciellt i finansbranschen där företag är informationsintensiva och har stora dataflöden. Detta har huvudsakligen gjorts med Robotic Process Automation (RPA) men den ökade mognadsgraden av maskininlärning har snabbt förbättrat möjligheten att kombinera RPA med Artificiell Intelligens (AI) för att därmed möjliggöra Intelligent Process Automation (IPA). I övergången från RPA till IPA uppkommer däremot en del utmaningar och problem som företag måste hanteras innan potentialen med dessa nya tekniker kan förverkligas. Den här forskningen ämnar att identifiera de utmaningar som företagen kommer ställas inför samt ge vägledning för vilka förberedelser som företagen måste genomföra innan IPA kan implementeras fullskaligt i organisationen. Forskningen genomfördes som en teoribyggande fallstudie på en stor svensk bank. Den teoretiska grunden samlades in genom en omfattande litteraturstudie och en empirisk studie bestående av intervjuer med forskare samt automationsutvecklare och FoU på banken. Resultaten från litteraturstudien och empirin kombinerades och kondenserades till ett vägvisande ramverk för organisationer som vill implementera IPA.

Abstract:
The widely used vector model maintains its popularity because of its simplicity, fast speed, and the appeal of using spatial proximity for semantic proximity. However, this model faces a disadvantage that is associated with the vagueness from keywords overlapping. Efforts have been made to improve the vector model. The research on improving document representation has been focused on four areas, namely, statistical co-occurrence of related items, forming term phrases, grouping of related words, and representing the content of documents. In this thesis, we propose the idea-indexing model to improve document representation for the filtering task in IR. The idea-indexing model matches document terms with the ideas they express and indexes the document with these ideas. This indexing scheme represents the document with its semantics instead of sets of independent terms. We show in this thesis that indexing with ideas leads to better performance.

Abstract:
With the availability of innumerable ‘intelligent’ building products and the dearth of inclusive evaluation tools, design teams are confronted with the quandary of choosing the apposite building control systems to suit the needs of a particular intelligent building project. The paucity of measures that represent the degree of system intelligence and indicate the desirable goal in intelligent building control systems design further inhibits the consumers from comparing numerous products from the viewpoint of intelligence. This thesis is organised respectively to develop models for facilitating the selection evaluation and the system intelligence analysis for the seven predominant building control systems in the intelligent building. To achieve these objectives, systematic research activities are conducted to first develop, test and refine the general conceptual models using consecutive surveys; then, to convert the developed conceptual frameworks to the practical models; and, finally, to evaluate the effectiveness of the practical models by means of expert validations.----- The findings of this study, on one hand, suggest that there are different sets of critical selection criteria (CSC) affecting the selection decision of the intelligent building control systems. Service life, and operating and maintenance costs are perceived as two common CSC. The survey results generally reflect that an ‘intelligent’ building control system does not necessarily need to be technologically advanced. Instead, it should be the one that can ensure efficiency and enhance user comfort and cost effectiveness. On the other hand, the findings of the research on system intelligence suggest that each building control system has a distinctive set of intelligence attributes and indicators. The research findings also indicate that operational benefits of the intelligent building exert a considerable degree of influence on the relative importance of intelligence indicators of the building control systems in the models. This research not only presents a systematic and structured approach to evaluate candidate building control systems against the CSC, but it also suggests a benchmark to measure the degree of intelligence of one control system candidate against another.

Abstract:
Abstract Global warming has set in motion a trend for cutting energy costs to reduce the carbon footprint. Reducing energy consumption, cutting greenhouse gas emissions and eliminating energy wastage are among the main goals of the European Union (EU). The buildings sector is the largest user of energy and CO2 emitter in the EU, estimated at approximately 40% of the total consumption. According to the International Panel on Climate Change, 30% of the energy used in buildings could be reduced with net economic benefits by 2030. At the same time, indoor air quality is recognized more and more as a distinct health hazard. Because of these two factors, energy efficiency and healthy housing have become active topics in international research. The main aims of this thesis were to study and develop a wireless building monitoring and control system that will produce valuable information and services for end-users using computational methods. In addition, the technology developed in this thesis relies heavily on building automation systems (BAS) and some parts of the concept termed the “Internet of Things” (IoT). The data refining process used is called knowledge discovery from data (KDD) and contains methods for data acquisition, pre-processing, modeling, visualization and interpreting the results and then sharing the new information with the end-users. In this thesis, four examples of data analysis and knowledge deployment are presented. The results of the case studies show that innovative use of computational methods provides a good basis for researching and developing new information services. In addition, the data mining methods used, such as regression and clustering completed with efficient data pre-processing methods, have a great potential to process a large amount of multivariate data effectively. The innovative and effective use of digital information is a key element in the creation of new information services. The service business in the building sector is significant, but plenty of new possibilities await capable and advanced companies or organizations. In addition, end-users, such as building maintenance personnel and residents, should be taken into account in the early stage of the data refining process. Furthermore, more advantages can be gained by courageous co-operation between companies and organizations, by utilizing computational methods for data processing to produce valuable information and by using the latest technologies in the research and development of new innovations
Tiivistelmä Rakennus- ja kiinteistösektori on suurin fossiilisilla polttoaineilla tuotetun energian käyttäjä. Noin 40 prosenttia kaikesta energiankulutuksesta liittyy rakennuksiin, rakentamiseen, rakennusmateriaaleihin ja rakennuksien ylläpitoon. Ilmastonmuutoksen ehkäisyssä rakennusten energiankäytön vähentämisellä on suuri merkitys ja rakennuksissa energiansäästöpotentiaali on suurin. Tämän seurauksena yhä tiiviimpi ja energiatehokkaampi rakentaminen asettaa haasteita hyvän sisäilman laadun turvaamiselle. Näistä seikoista johtuen sisäilman laadun tutkiminen ja jatkuvatoiminen mittaaminen on tärkeää. Väitöskirjan päätavoitteena on kuvata kehitetty energiankulutuksen ja sisäilman laadun monitorointijärjestelmä. Järjestelmän tuottamaa mittaustietoa on jalostettu eri loppukäyttäjiä palvelevaan muotoon. Tiedonjalostusprosessi koostuu tiedon keräämisestä, esikäsittelystä, tiedonlouhinnasta, visualisoinnista, tulosten tulkitsemisesta ja oleellisen tiedon välittämisestä loppukäyttäjille. Aineiston analysointiin on käytetty tiedonlouhintamenetelmiä, kuten esimerkiksi klusterointia ja ennustavaa mallintamista. Väitöskirjan toisena tavoitteena on tuoda esille jatkuvatoimiseen mittaamiseen liittyviä haasteita sekä rohkaista yrityksiä ja organisaatioita käyttämään tietovarantoja monipuolisemmin ja tehokkaammin. Väitöskirja pohjautuu viiteen julkaisuun, joissa kuvataan kehitetty monitorointijärjestelmä, osoitetaan tiedonjalostusprosessin toimivuus erilaisissa tapauksissa ja esitetään esimerkkejä kuhunkin prosessivaiheeseen soveltuvista laskennallisista menetelmistä. Julkaisuissa on kuvattu energiankulutuksen ja sisäilman laadun informaatiopalvelu sekä sisäilman laatuun liittyviä data-analyysejä omakoti- ja kerrostaloissa sekä koulurakennuksissa. Innovatiivinen digitaalisen tiedon hyödyntäminen on avainasemassa kehitettäessä uusia informaatiopalveluita. Kiinteistöalalle on kehitetty lukuisia informaatioon pohjautuvia palveluita, mutta ala tarjoaa edelleen hyviä liiketoimintamahdollisuuksia kyvykkäille ja kehittyneille yrityksille sekä organisaatioille

Traffic systems are the cause of both significant carbon emissions andinjuries in our world today. In an effort to better the traffic systems,a large amount of work is being put into making them intelligent. Byincreased information sharing and decision-making based on better data,intelligent traffic systems (ITS) hope to increase efficiency and safety onthe roads. Making ITS can be quite complex as the systems are alreadycomplex and large, it is therefore important to make the developmentand quality of ITS as good as possible.This thesis aims to find out whether Reactive Blocks and OSGi, amodelling based tool and a component system run in Java, is the rightplatform on which to build an ITS, specifically in the Norwegian trafficsystem environment. Simply put, the question the thesis aims to answeris: To what degree is Reactive Blocks and OSGi a good platform for ITSdevelopment?To answer the aforementioned question, a literature study has beenconducted, as well as making and testing a prototype application. Fromthe results of the literature study and the prototype a theoretical evaluationof the platform has been made.The results indicate that Reactive Blocks and OSGi is a very goodfit to the platform of ITS. It is in all likelihood a right choice whendeveloping ITS. It has beneficial features that the competition lacks, thatmake up for its respective drawbacks.Based on the results, Reactive Blocks and OSGi is recommended fordeveloping ITSs.

Abstract:

During the past few decades, the term intelligent building envelope has emerged as a building skin designed to meet increasingly varying and complex demands related to user comfort and energy and cost efficiency. The concept is described by a multitude of definitions that range from the use of innovative components and a high-tech visual expression to the rational design, use and maintenance of the building envelope.

Within the scope of this Ph.D., intelligent behaviour for a building envelope has been defined as adaptiveness to the environment by means of perception, reasoning and action, allowing the envelope to solve conflicts and deal with new situations that occur in its interaction with the environment, i.e., the local climate and site, and the individual user needs.

This definition is used to analyse the functions an intelligent building envelope can be expected to perform in the context of daylighting quality, or an optimisation of the indoor luminous environment to the requirements of the individual building occupant. Of particular importance is the co-operation between artificial intelligence and the material, form and composition of envelope elements, allowing the envelope to learn the occupant’s needs and preferences, to choose the most appropriate response in each situation, to make long-term strategies, to anticipate the development of environmental conditions, and to evaluate its own performance.

Simultaneously, it is found that adaptive envelope solutions in no manner reduce the need for envelope design meticulously adjusted to local climate and site and to individual user needs, developed in close co-operation between architects, engineers and manufacturers. All of the sources consulted during the course of this Ph.D. stress time and time again how difficult it is to control the operation of the envelope components according to the local environment, and, simultaneously, how important it is to do so.

Abstract A future vision of enabling technologies for the needs of energy conservation as well as energy efficiency based on the most important megatrends identified, namely climate change, urbanization, and digitalization. In the United States and in the European Union, about 40% of total energy consumption goes into energy use by buildings. Moreover, indoor climate quality is recognized as a distinct health hazard. On account of these two factors, energy efficiency and healthy housing are active topics in international research. The main aims of this thesis are to study which elements affect indoor climate quality, how energy consumption describes building energy efficiency and to analyse the measured data using intelligent computational methods. The data acquisition technology used in the studies relies heavily on smart metering technologies based on Building Automation Systems (BAS), big data and the Internet of Things (IoT). The data refining process presented and used is called Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD). It contains methods for data acquisition, pre-processing, data mining, visualisation and interpretation of results, and transformation into knowledge and new information for end users. In this thesis, four examples of data analysis and knowledge deployment concerning small houses and school buildings are presented. The results of the case studies show that the data mining methods used in building energy efficiency and indoor climate quality analysis have a great potential for processing a large amount of multivariate data effectively. An innovative use of computational methods provides a good basis for researching and developing new information services. In the KDD process, researchers should co-operate with end users, such as building management and maintenance personnel as well as residents, to achieve better analysis results, easier interpretation and correct conclusions for exploiting the knowledge
Tiivistelmä Tulevaisuuden visio energiansäästön sekä energiatehokkuuden mahdollistavista teknologioista pohjautuu tärkeimpiin tunnistettuihin megatrendeihin, ilmastonmuutokseen, kaupungistumiseen ja digitalisoitumiseen. Yhdysvalloissa ja Euroopan unionissa käytetään noin 40 % kokonaisenergiankulutuksesta rakennusten käytön energiatarpeeseen. Myös rakennusten sisäilmaston on havaittu olevan ilmeinen terveysriski. Perustuen kahteen edellä mainittuun tekijään, energiatehokkuus ja asumisterveys ovat aktiivisia tutkimusaiheita kansainvälisessä tutkimuksessa. Tämän väitöskirjan päätavoitteena on ollut tutkia, mitkä elementit vaikuttavat sisäilmastoon ja rakennusten energiatehokkuuteen pääasiassa analysoimalla mittausdataa käyttäen älykkäitä laskennallisia menetelmiä. Tutkimuksissa käytetyt tiedonkeruuteknologiat perustuvat etäluentaan ja rakennusautomaatioon, big datan hyödyntämiseen ja esineiden internetiin (IoT). Väitöskirjassa esiteltävä tietämyksen muodostusprosessi (KDD) koostuu tiedonkeruusta,datan esikäsittelystä, tiedonlouhinnasta, visualisoinnista ja tutkimustulosten tulkinnasta sekä tietämyksen muodostamisesta ja oleellisen informaation esittämisestä loppukäyttäjille. Tässä väitöstutkimuksessa esitellään neljän data-analyysin ja niiden pohjalta muodostetun tietämyksen hyödyntämisen esimerkkiä, jotka liittyvät pientaloihin ja koulurakennuksiin. Esimerkkitapausten tulokset osoittavat, että käytetyillä tiedonlouhinnan menetelmillä sovellettuna rakennusten energiatehokkuus- ja sisäilmastoanalyyseihin on mahdollista jalostaa suuria monimuuttuja-aineistoja tehokkaasti. Laskennallisten menetelmien innovatiivinen käyttö antaa hyvät perusteet tutkia ja kehittää uusia informaatiopalveluja. Tutkijoiden tulee tehdä yhteistyötä loppukäyttäjinä toimivien kiinteistöhallinnan ja -ylläpidon henkilöstön sekä asukkaiden kanssa saavuttaakseen parempia analyysituloksia, helpompaa tulosten tulkintaa ja oikeita johtopäätöksiä tietämyksen hyödyntämiseksi

With the recent resurgence of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence as a competitive advantage in product development, technical executives and managers are interested in learning what it would take to build intelligent platforms that can leverage these advances. In addition, they wish to produce cost estimates for developing such platforms. The goal of this thesis is to develop a reference architecture for an intelligent platform and an associated costing model that allows technical managers to understand the components needed to deliver such a platform and estimate the cost of each module, estimate the cost of the overall architecture, and enable what-if analysis to understand the cost tradeoffs. The intent is not to provide the values of the variables in the model, but to develop a cost model that will enable interested parties to plug in their estimated values for each factor and generate a forecast of the build cost.

Abstract:
Floods are natural phenomena which are a threat to human settlements. Flooding can result in costly repairs to buildings, loss of business and, in some cases, loss of life. The forecasts for climate change show a further increased risk of flooding in future years. Accordingly, the flooding of residential property has been observed as on the rise in the UK. It is difficult to prevent floods from occurring, but the effects of flooding can be managed in an attempt to reduce risks and costs of repair. This can be achieved through ensuring a good understanding of the problem, and thereby establishing good management systems which are capable of dealing with all aspects of the flood. The use of an intelligent system for assessment and remediation of buildings subjected to flooding damage can facilitate the management of this problem. Such a system can provide guidance for the assessment of vulnerability and the repair of flood damaged residential buildings; this could save time and money through the use of the advantages and benefits offered by knowledge base systems. A prototype knowledge base system has been developed in this research. The system comprises three subsystems: degree of vulnerability assessment subsystem; remediation options subsystem; and foundation damage assessment subsystem. The vulnerability assessment subsystem is used to calculate the degree of vulnerability, which will then be used by the remediation options subsystem to select remediation options strategy. The vulnerability assessment subsystem can subsequently be used to calculate the degree to which the building is vulnerable to damage by flooding even if it is not flooded. Remediation options subsystem recommended two strategy options: either ordinary remediation options in the case of vulnerability being low or, alternatively, resilience remediation options in the case of vulnerability being high. The foundation damage assessment subsystem is working alone and is used to assess the damage caused by flooding to the building s foundation, and to thereby recommend a repair option based on the damage caused and foundation type. The system has been developed based on the knowledge acquired from different sources and methods, including survey questionnaires, documents, interviews, and workshops. The system is then evaluated by experts and professionals in the industry. The developed system makes a contribution in the management and standardisation of residential building flooded damage and repair.

Abstract:
Building design is becoming an increasingly complex process. Technological advances in building materials and construction methods have necessitated the specification of more rigourous regulatory constraints to which the designer must adhere. Although a diverse range of sophisticated computer based design tools, addressing the formal functional requirements of building design, exist to assist the designer in the decision making process, as a result of their sophistication, such tools often require considerable specialist knowledge of the methodologies employed before they can realistically be utilized on a routine basis. As a result a growing interest has developed in intelligent user-interfaces in an attempt to make complex application software more accessible, maintainable and extendible. However, owing to inconsistencies between front-ends, the current trend in user interface management systems tends to propagate the encapsulation of application functionality within a static, esoteric style of dialogue; restricting interaction to the lowest common user level and therefore denying the designer unrestricted access to the embedded methodologies required for creative solution synthesis. By adopting a communications view of the user-interface, this thesis illustrates how a dynamically adaptable user-interface, coupled to a multi-level knowledge based system consisting of surface level models derived from human laws, with deep models of reasoning, employing non-procedural, opportunistic knowledge acquisition mechanisms, may be utilised to accommodate the dynamically varying nature of the design process. The resulting object oriented framework is an intelligent design support system which isolates the user from the low level aspects of CAD tool management; enabling experts from different sub-disciplines to access the functionality of a comprehensive range of design tools in manner suited to their individual conceptual vocabulary, level of expertise, and idiosyncratic design procedures. Although the framework described within this thesis is generally applicable across a range of domains, specific examples of user stereotypes and dialogue templates used to illustrate the principles behind the system are derived from building performance assessment and prediction.

Abstract:
We present hereafter the development of the Liebherr Intelligent Hydraulic Cylinder, in which the hydraulic component is used as smart sensing element providing useful information for the system in which the cylinder is operated. The piston position and velocity are the most important signals derived from this new measuring approach. The performance under various load and temperature conditions (measured both on dedicated test facilities and in field in a real machine) will be presented. An integrated control electronics, which is performing the cylinder state processing, additionally allows the synchronized acquisition of external sensors. Providing comprehensive state information, such as temperature and system pressure, advanced control techniques or monitoring functions can be realized with a monolithic device. Further developments, trends and benefits for the system architecture will be briefly analyzed and discussed.

Abstract:

The overall goal of this thesis is to provide a high level framework and motivation for intelligent building development by using data available in typical base building systems and finding synergies between these data streams to evaluate questions progressing beyond the traditional building operational metrics. This is done by exploiting a highly underutilized data point in buildings, the occupants, and relating this to the business objectives of tenants, property managers, and other key stakeholders to develop more interesting and valuable key performance indicators.

This framework is then deployed in a living laboratory, commercial office environment in Boulder, CO, to evaluate a portion of the developed metrics using commercially available building systems. These metrics mainly focus on space utilization and energy/power characteristics, but evaluates the effectiveness of grouping them according to the spatial hierarchy of the building and the internal business groups of the tenant.

The most significant contribution of this thesis is to evaluate two means by which energy consumption characteristics can be better evaluated with respect to the actual occupancy and spatial utilization patterns of the building. Since commercial office spaces are designed to be used by people, these methods consider the energy consumption in reference to the actual building occupancy, and are therefore referred to as "Occupancy Normalized Energy". These metrics are a step beyond evaluating the efficiency of a building by looking solely at energy consumption, but provide a basis for evaluating the effective usage of commercial offices.

The evolution and dissemination of network communication technology and the advanced status of embedded devices encourage the creation of solutions for monitoring cities in various environments. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) is an area that makes use of these technologies, so that end-users can benefit from applications that deliver information in real time. On the other hand, administrating these applications is not a trivial task. Components may fail and invalidate an application. Usually, traffic application's architecture is centralized, fact that increases the cost of maintenance and reduces the flexibility of resources reuse. There are features required on ITS such as adaptability, scalability, heterogeneity, interoperability, openness, accessibility, and flexibility. It was not found on the literature any related work that aims to cover all these features, although some of them are requisites for ITS developed for use in North America and Europe. In this work we present IDEAL-TRAFFIC: a framework based on SOA architecture for building monitoring applications, with the ability to manage the state of the applications. IDEAL-TRAFFIC provides a simple interface that enables system administrators create applications and make them available to end-users. A self-adaptation process is included in the IDEAL-TRAFFIC framework in order to ensure fault tolerance. For the implementation of these features, rules of the application need to be considered and might depend upon the minimum of human intervention, since the framework can use third part systems or legacy systems to retrieve relevant data to continue running an application. In this thesis we have applied the IDEAL-TRAFFIC to two use cases to illustrate its use for ITS. In the first use case, we demonstrate the use of the framework in static nodes. In the second use case, we show how the framework may be integrated with vehicular networks. Three experiments have been launched. In all executions we reproduced the first use case over embedded devices. In order to demonstrate the framework accordance with the main ITS requirements, we illustrate the creation of services using XML SOA files, the communication among devices, the integration of the framework with a legacy system, and the scalability of the system. In all experiments we have obtained the expected results. This fact shows that the IDEAL-TRAFFIC is in accordance with the main ITS requirements. In the experiments launched, it was proved that the use of XML is an effective and efficient alternative, to create applications using services available by several nodes on the network. The proposed process reduces the time of creation of applications.

Abstract:
The building industry makes up a considerable fraction of world&
#8217
s energy consumption. The adverse effects of a growing energy demand such as depletion in fossil fuel reserves and natural resources hassled the building industry to a search for new technologies that result in less energy consumption together with the maximum utilization of natural resources. Energy- and ecology-conscious European countries incorporated the well-being of occupants while conducting research on innovative technologies. In view of the fact that double-skin faç
ades offer a healthy and comfortable milieu for the occupants and use natural resources hence consume less energy they became a promising invention for all concerns. The analysis of the performance of the double-skin faç
ades and energy consumption is inconclusive at this time. However, based upon thermal performance analysis have been done so far, a double-skin faç
ade perform better and provide some energy reduction, particularly on the heating side cycle, from a standard double glazed unit wall. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between double-skin faç
ades and building management systems in intelligent office buildings as they relate to energy efficiency issues thus to find out whether or not the integration of these systems into intelligent buildings provides optimization in energy performance and comfort conditions. The building for the case study, which is an intelligent office building incorporating a double-skin faç
ade was selected as one that promises high comfort conditions for the occupants with low energy consumption. The working principles of integrated faç
ade systems, together with their advantages and disadvantages were investigated by means of the case study. It was concluded that due to their high initial costs, these systems offer no real advantages for today. However with the inevitable exhaustion of fossil fuels that is foreseen for the future, these systems would become an innovative solution in terms of energy conservation.

Abstract:
Les bâtiments sont de plus en plus équipés avec des réseaux d’automatisation dédiés, visant à réduire la consommation d’énergie ainsi que d’optimiser le confort. D’un autre côté, nous observons l’arrivée de capteurs et actionneurs liés à l’Internet des objets, pouvant naturellement se connecter à des réseaux IP. Dû à des contraintes d’obsolescence ou imposées par les propriétés physiques des bâtiments, il n’est pas rare que différentes technologies doivent cohabiter. Celles-ci fonctionnant avec des modèles et protocoles différents rend le développement de systèmes d’automatisation globaux compliqué. Les modèles classiques de systèmes distribués ne sont pas adaptés aux problématiques des réseaux de capteurs. Le paradigme du Web des objets est basé sur des ressources et vise quand à lui d’uniformiser la couche applicative entre différents objets à l’aide des technologies du Web, essentiellement HTTP et REST. Dans cette thèse, nous nous basons sur le Web des objets afin de créer un framework dédié au bâtiments intelligents, permettant aux développeurs de concevoir des applications composites sans connaissances des différentes technologies sous-jacentes. Grâce aux technologies Web, nous pouvons offrir des services homogènes tout en profitant des ressources disponibles à l’intérieur du réseau (capteurs et actionneurs), formant un nuage auto-géré. Dans le but de doter les bâtiments d’une plus grande intelligence, l’apprentissage automatique, souvent réservé aux experts, est rendu accessible à travers des interfaces Web cachant la complexité des processus
Buildings are increasingly equipped with dedicated automation networks, aiming to reduce the energy consumption and to optimize the comfort. On the other hand, we see the arrival of sensors and actuators related to the Internet of Things, which can naturally connect to IP networks. Due to constraints imposed by the obsolescence or physical properties of buildings, it is not uncommon that different technologies have to coexist. These networks operate with different models and protocols, making the development of global automation systems difficult. Traditional models of distributed systems are not adapted to the context of sensor networks. The paradigm of the Web of Things is resource-based and strives to standardize the application layer of different objects using Web technologies, primarily HTTP and REST. In this thesis, we use the Web of Things to create a framework dedicated to smart buildings, allowing developers to develop composite applications without knowledge of the underlying technologies. By relying on Web technologies, we can provide seamless service while reusing the available resources within the network (sensors and actuators), forming a self-managed cloud. In order to equip the buildings with a higher-level intelligence, machine learning, often reserved for experts, is made accessible through Web interfaces hiding the complexity of the process

Abstract:
There is a growing societal need to address the increasing prevalence of behavioral health issues, such as obesity, alcohol or drug use, and general lack of treatment adherence for a variety of health problems. The statistics, worldwide and in the USA, are daunting. Excessive alcohol use is the third leading preventable cause of death in the United States (with 79,000 deaths annually), and is responsible for a wide range of health and social problems. On the positive side though, these behavioral health issues (and associated possible diseases) can often be prevented with relatively simple lifestyle changes, such as losing weight with a diet and/or physical exercise, or learning how to reduce alcohol consumption. Medicine has therefore started to move toward finding ways of preventively promoting wellness, rather than solely treating already established illness. Evidence-based patient-centered Brief Motivational Interviewing (BMI) interven- tions have been found particularly effective in helping people find intrinsic motivation to change problem behaviors after short counseling sessions, and to maintain healthy lifestyles over the long-term. Lack of locally available personnel well-trained in BMI, however, often limits access to successful interventions for people in need. To fill this accessibility gap, Computer-Based Interventions (CBIs) have started to emerge. Success of the CBIs, however, critically relies on insuring engagement and retention of CBI users so that they remain motivated to use these systems and come back to use them over the long term as necessary. Because of their text-only interfaces, current CBIs can therefore only express limited empathy and rapport, which are the most important factors of health interventions. Fortunately, in the last decade, computer science research has progressed in the design of simulated human characters with anthropomorphic communicative abilities. Virtual characters interact using humans’ innate communication modalities, such as facial expressions, body language, speech, and natural language understanding. By advancing research in Artificial Intelligence (AI), we can improve the ability of artificial agents to help us solve CBI problems. To facilitate successful communication and social interaction between artificial agents and human partners, it is essential that aspects of human social behavior, especially empathy and rapport, be considered when designing human-computer interfaces. Hence, the goal of the present dissertation is to provide a computational model of rapport to enhance an artificial agent’s social behavior, and to provide an experimental tool for the psychological theories shaping the model. Parts of this thesis were already published in [LYL+12, AYL12, AL13, ALYR13, LAYR13, YALR13, ALY14].

With rapid growth of technology and R&D of new technology, people have changed the imagination of the living environment in the past, thus traditional building materials have been not able to meet building demands in age of smart life gradually. In recent years, the idea of Internet of Things was just emerging, and multifunctional intelligent products have gradually replaced single-function products, which drives the integration development trend of products in various fields. Integrated-type intelligent technology materials and products, which combine with techniques such as material, electronics, electrical machine, automatic control and information communication, have gradually and rapidly been guided to spatial environment to become essential products or auxiliary tools in building or life, such as access control systems with intelligent image perception and intelligent household facilities and equipment controlled by mobile phones. However, there is no enough research or literatures for reference for the intelligent building materials integrating multiple properties and functions, thereby resulting in uneven management and maintenance of the building materials. In view of this, the research collects related literatures both at home and abroad, summarizes and sorts out category and connotation of intelligent building materials, and tries to make classification and definition of the intelligent building materials as the basis for follow-up research and development. In addition to collection of literatures, the research further investigates application devices with automated or intelligent materials in the market on the spot to discuss its classification mode. Intelligent building material is a new industry with integration across multiple fields. In lack of related information and unclear positioning conditions, it is expected to utilize classification to make the public have further understanding and reestablish a direction of thinking intelligent living space, thereby also helping development and promotion of intelligent building material industry. The research result shows that the intelligent building materials are divided into three types of systems, modules and devices. Based on material properties after combination, the building materials are divided into six parts consisting of safety, energy conservation, health, convenience, environment and integration. Based on functions after combination, it can be divided into six parts consisting of sensing, distinguishing, actuating, disposal, self-early-warning and self-repair. Through combination of various features and functions, more multicomponent and diverse intelligent building materials can be developed.

This thesis focuses on the wavelength division multiplex (WDM) passive optical network (PON) architecture designs applied in intelligent building. This thesis is divided into two parts; the first part is to design a novel WDM PON architecture that can be employed in intelligent building. To match the outside shape of traditional buildings, we report and demonstrate a simple network architecture that is consists of double central offices (COs) and backbones. All the optical passive components we used are only simple optical passive components such as switches, power couplers, and WDM multiplexers. In contrast to a classical WDM PON, the proposed architecture has a complete in-line protection switching ability including backbones of whole network and distributed line lines for single floors. A high service survival rate is observed. The proposed architecture can approach 10Gb/s data rate with power margin over 5dB. It also can provide the network immunity to each unexpected calamities and provide various backup methods for outside communication. The users will not face the threat to compromise of private information and the network administrator can proved a user reconfigurable service. The three-tier hierarchical service levels may combine with various access technologies including the time division multiplex (TDM) technology and can enlarge the user capacity. The maximum user capacity is [(The user amount of first level) + (laser channels - The user amount of first level) × (The percentage to the user amount of second level) × (The maximum user capacity of TDM system) + (The user amount of the third level)]. The second part discusses the hybrid erbium doped fiber amplifier (EDFA)/Raman fiber amplifier (RFA) we can employ in an access network. With low concentration EDF, the gain can be flattened basically. The maximum gain difference is about 5.5dB only. By sharing the residual pumping power, the noise figure (NF) will also be reduced. The gain improvements are 1dB to EDFA and RFA. The NF improvements are 1dB to EDFA and 0.4dB to RFA. We also introduced a distributed dispersion compensation mechanism. When a common 4041-m dispersion compensation fiber had been set up, only the difference in length between 4041m and other individual DCF lengths for different wavelengths should be set up additionally.

Integrating robotics into architectural space to promote spatial flexibility, climate adaptability and energy efficiency has become a compelling challenge in our changing world. With various physical and information units distributed in a spatial field, a major issue of smart space is how intelligent individuals can collaboratively perform autonomous behaviors as a whole, spatial entity.  Intelligent robotic architecture is a smart space that accommodates hundreds of swarm robotic units with well-integrated sensors, actuators, and smart technology, making collaborative operation possible in space. The system framework for intelligent robotic architecture consists of physical and information dimensions, and each dimension has three spatial hierarchical levels. In the physical dimension, the practical implications of robotic architecture are categorized into four technical sections: 1)physical conformation, 2)power and energy conversion, 3)spatial localization and remote control, and 4) the hybrid control system. In the information dimension, the operation of robotic architecture must consider the synchronicity of the following three platforms: 1)the physical building space, 2)the virtual building information modeling (BIM) model, and 3)the cloud environmental database. Operating these three platforms synchronously can generate comprehensive effects, and can integrate the information obtained from the spatial field and the intelligent units within it during building life-cycle phases starting from the interactive design, behavior simulation, installation and testing, to operation management. Three physical prototypes were evolutionarily progressed and applied to verify the feasibility of the conceptual framework.  To conclusion, compared to a conventional fixed building envelope, distributed mobile surface units can actively respond to environmental conditions and move, scatter, or assemble themselves to generate various holistic configurations. By doing so, they promote the use of flexible architectural space, are adaptable to climate changes, and reduce energy consumption. This research serves to systematize the conceptual framework for intelligent robotic architecture with respect to physical conformation, mechatronics integration, and information platforms. It supports the future development of smart space, intelligent building materials, and intelligent BIM components.

A great quantity of humanity long terms development and the carbon dioxide(CO2 ) that cause from construction have had a serious impact on earth. According to the researches of CO2 emissions, the amount that exhaust from construction industry head the list among others. With the rising awareness of environmental protection, the construction industries are calling for protecting duties. Therefore, when confronting architectural design, it will gradually transform into Intelligent and Green Building which aims at low-energy consumption and reduction of environmental destruction. Taiwan is one of the few countries in the Asia-Pacific region with Intelligent and Green Building assessment systems. Expecting to improve the status of the industries not only through the study and realizing of their spirits , indicators contents , certification processes and reward systems but also via comparing each country with different assessment projects that mentioned above. The research will mainly based on comparative analysis. Initially analyze the standards of intelligent and green building from each nation ,then classify according to their index which shows below: Intelligent Building: "Infrastructure" ," Management" , "Security , "Health" and "Energy Saving" Green Building: "Base" ," Materials" ,"Water" ,"Energy" and special one "Reductions of CO2" The results show that the evaluation differ owing to national conditions. In terms of Intelligent Building assessment, Hong Kong put more emphasis on the benefits instead of infrastructures while Taiwan focus on the other hand. There is little evaluation of base physical environment in Taiwan when it comes to Green Building. Such as base wind field, base noise, and base traffic. If we can learn from other countries, we will continue to enhance the level of this industry.

Taiwan has promoted the green building labeling and candidate green building certificate system since 1999. However, the residential buildings received labels and candidate certificates of green building are only 1.09% and 3.59% of the total cumulative incremental building amount, respectively. Besides, the residential buildings received labels with smart building and candidate smart building certificate are only dozens of cases. Therefore, it is believed that the intelligent green buildings are full of potentials for future development. The consumers, developers, and producers can also obtain economic benefits as well as environmental protection can be realized. This study tried to establish a cognitive-affective-conative model of consumers, developers and producers in intelligent green building for residential building. According to method of sustainable development, green consumer, value engineering, industry transformation, economic externality, we comprehended quantitative analysis and research on consumer and developers and producers. We tried to understand consumption, development, and production of intelligent green building preference and price range of choices. The methodologies adopted in this study include descriptive statistical analysis, factor analysis, reliability analysis, Pearson's chi-squared test, correlation analysis, and hypothesis testing on effective questionnaire sample data. The statistical analyses are conducted using SPSS 18.0. Hopefully, the study results could provide some useful information for the industrial development program and the related research. This study issued 228 questionnaires, of which 223 were valid. The analytical results based on the valid questionnaires conducted on consumer, developer and producer of intelligent green building for residential building are summarized as follows: (1) The cognitive-affective-conative model for consumer's intelligent green building is significant. The consumers are willing to pay additional 10.7% of price for intelligent green building. Besides, the consumers are also willing to pay 9.98% extra money for remodelling the RC-residential building into intelligent green building. (2) The cognitive-affective-conative model for developer's intelligent green building is partially significant. For intelligent green building, the developers accept the increases in product price, product budget, and expected economic benefits by 9.26%, 7.78%, and 10.2%, respectively. (3) The cognitive-affective-conative model for producer's intelligent green building is partially significant. For intelligent green building, the producers accept the increases in product price, product budget, and expected economic benefits by 8.51%, 7.38%, and 10.47%, respectively.

Abstract:

Commercial buildings not only have significant impacts on occupants’ well-being, but also contribute to more than 19% of the total energy consumption in the United States. Along with improvements in building equipment efficiency and utilization of renewable energy, there has been significant focus on the development of advanced heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system controllers that incorporate predictions (e.g., occupancy patterns, weather forecasts) and current state information to execute optimization-based strategies. For example, model predictive control (MPC) provides a systematic implementation option using a system model and an optimization algorithm to adjust the control setpoints dynamically. This approach automatically satisfies component and operation constraints related to building dynamics, HVAC equipment, etc. However, the wide adaptation of advanced controls still faces several practical challenges: such approaches involve significant engineering effort and require site-specific solutions for complex problems that need to consider uncertain weather forecast and engaging the building occupants. This thesis explores smart building operation strategies to resolve such issues from the following three aspects.

First, the thesis explores a stochastic model predictive control (SMPC) method for the optimal utilization of solar energy in buildings with integrated solar systems. This approach considers the uncertainty in solar irradiance forecast over a prediction horizon, using a new probabilistic time series autoregressive model, calibrated on the sky-cover forecast from a weather service provider. In the optimal control formulation, we model the effect of solar irradiance as non-Gaussian stochastic disturbance affecting the cost and constraints, and the nonconvex cost function is an expectation over the stochastic process. To solve this optimization problem, we introduce a new approximate dynamic programming methodology that represents the optimal cost-to-go functions using Gaussian process, and achieves good solution quality. We use an emulator to evaluate the closed-loop operation of a building-integrated system with a solar-assisted heat pump coupled with radiant floor heating. For the system and climate considered, the SMPC saves up to 44% of the electricity consumption for heating in a winter month, compared to a well-tuned rule-based controller, and it is robust, imposing less uncertainty on thermal comfort violation.

Second, this thesis explores user-interactive thermal environment control systems that aim to increase energy efficiency and occupant satisfaction in office buildings. Towards this goal, we present a new modeling approach of occupant interactions with a temperature control and energy use interface based on utility theory that reveals causal effects in the human decision-making process. The model is a utility function that quantifies occupants’ preference over temperature setpoints incorporating their comfort and energy use considerations. We demonstrate our approach by implementing the user-interactive system in actual office spaces with an energy efficient model predictive HVAC controller. The results show that with the developed interactive system occupants achieved the same level of overall satisfaction with selected setpoints that are closer to temperatures determined by the MPC strategy to reduce energy use. Also, occupants often accept the default MPC setpoints when a significant improvement in the thermal environment conditions is not needed to satisfy their preference. Our results show that the occupants’ overrides can contribute up to 55% of the HVAC energy consumption on average with MPC. The prototype user-interactive system recovered 36% of this additional energy consumption while achieving the same overall occupant satisfaction level. Based on these findings, we propose that the utility model can become a generalized approach to evaluate the design of similar user-interactive systems for different office layouts and building operation scenarios.

Finally, this thesis presents an approach based on meta-reinforcement learning (Meta-RL) that enables autonomous optimal building controls with minimum engineering effort. In reinforcement learning (RL), the controller acts as an agent that executes control actions in response to the real-time building system status and exogenous disturbances according to a policy. The agent has the ability to update the policy towards improving the energy efficiency and occupant satisfaction based on the previously achieved control performance. In order to ensure satisfactory performance upon deployment to a target building, the agent is trained using the Meta-RL algorithm beforehand with a model universe obtained from available building information, which is a probability measure over the possible building dynamical models. Starting from what is learned in the training process, the agent then fine-tunes the policy to adapt to the target building based on-site observations. The control performance and adaptability of the Meta-RL agent is evaluated using an emulator of a private office space over 3 summer months. For the system and climate under consideration, the Meta-RL agent can successfully maintain the indoor air temperature within the first week, and result in only 16% higher energy consumption in the 3rd month than MPC, which serves as the theoretical upper performance bound. It also significantly outperforms the agents trained with conventional RL approach.

In this paper, we proposed an intelligent behavior avatar (IBA) to solve personalized problems, and to improve the traditional avatars to make decisions wisely. The IBA model is designed by Bayesian networks and decision theory. It not only imitates user''s behavior style to live in the virtual world, but also adjusts itself to make proper strategies in the varied environment by using our developed reasoning and self-learning mechanisms. However, the performance penalties caused by the interaction between avatars and objects in the virtual world is an important issue in this work. In order to reduce loads on IBA and increase the performance of the system; we purpose a smart object which is different from other objects. By using smart object, the efficiency of the interaction with IBA can be obtained.

There have been a lot of research efforts related to intelligent buildings and Building Information Modeling(BIM) in the past few years,but most of the research has focused on the early stages of the building life cycle. However, due to the complexity of intelligent equipment in intelligent buildings, how to effectively improve facility management (FM) systems for intelligent buildings is still being researched. In addition, an FM system integrated with building information modeling (BIM) will likely make intelligent buildings more intelligent and. thus, Construction Operations Building Information Exchange (COBie), which is a data format for the publication of a subset of BIM, is getting popular. Two remarkable advantages of COBie are that COBie can take several approved formats and can be incorporated into software for building life cycle analysis. By using COBie format as a data source, this research aims to develop a Web-based FM system for intelligent buildings to demonstrate the feasibility of introducing BIM& COBie into a FM system.

In Taiwan, Intelligent Building was developed since later stage of 1989. It has been developed for 16 years in the history up to now. Moreover, we have invested lots of human resource, material resources, and financial resource in the process in different fields. Therefore, the Architecture and Building Research Institute, Ministry of Interior, R.O.C addressed the functions and criteria that Intelligent Building should have in 2003; meanwhile, it published the “Intelligent Building Criteria”, the evaluation systems and comment manuals, under the legal guidelines for the main criteria of future architecture’s quality promotion in Taiwan. After publishing the “Intelligent Building Criteria”, the information of evaluation indices and operations were only for paperwork or simple explanations on the website. However, the correlation of Intelligent Building research in Taiwan was only focus on the evaluation of the efficiencies and the consultations of the intelligent levels in Taiwan. Since there was no Intelligent Building Evaluation Criteria service system, the inefficiency problems occurred while the users’ lack of cognition of Intelligent Building and insufficient information of Intelligent Building evaluation indices. In order to let users have more electronical information of Intelligent Building evaluation indices and technical context, we offer the assistant searching of divers indices information when we plan and design the Intelligent Building. Thus, in this study, we take evaluation indices and illustration manual of “Intelligent Building Criteria” from Architecture and Building Research Institute, Ministry of Interior, R.O.C. as our target to apply and integrate Intelligent Building evaluation indices and technical context through the correlated database to develop Intelligent Building evaluation indices system for the reference. In conclusion, there are two main objectives in this study.

The Intelligent Building/Home System (IBS) enhances the human life style. It makes our life more comfortable, efficient, and safety. With increasing of computer, communication network, and building automation protocol, the IBS has been possible to implement in every building soon. The critical problem to the IBS that can be a popular one is that how to construct the IBS quickly and efficiently. So we proposed a systematical method and model to construct an IBS and a control kernel to integrate it. After that, the IBS will be easy to construct and it will be a flexible and scalable system. An IBS always includes the following components, 1). security system, 2). alarm system, 3). access control system, 4). audio/video system 5). lift system, 6). HVAC system, 7). power management system, 8). lighting system. In the past, these components were all standalone system and had to communicate through a complex wire technique with high cost until recently. The new building automation protocol adopts the open and distributed architecture with an uni-field bus that even the power line can be used as the communication field bus. Under this structure, we group the field devices to several basic utilities unit that organize the components in IBS through cooperation among these basic utilities. According to these features of IBS, a holonic SCADA (HSCADA) can be applied to it. In HSCADA, a holon represents an autonomy and cooperation building block. There two types of holon, namely, software holon and firmware holon which are separated into the software layer and firmware layer and an integrated control kernel, namely supervisory request oriented control kernel (SROCK). In IBS, each component can be composed by software holon meanwhile the basic utilities and hardware device control can be composed by firmware holon. Each holon can implement the needed intelligence into itself. A group of holons can handle all behaviors in the IBS. In HSCADA, the SROCK is an integrated control unit which supports the capabilities as follows. 1). holon integration, 2). user request editor, 3). user request process, 4). error recovery. The first one increases the flexibility, scalability of systems that controlled by SROCK whereas applied in Internet. The second one supports a user-friendly control interface between IBS and occupancy such as macro request, and control command automatically retrieving. These allow the occupancy using the service more efficiently. Finally, when the devices in IBS break down, the SROCK can do error recovery that makes it a reliable system. The error can’t break down and effects the system.
