Description du projet :

Sur la thématique des smart cities, l’évolution récente des capteurs, des réseaux de communication et des algorithmes
de traitements big data ouvrent des perspectives inédites pour l’analyse de nos cités. Un premier objectif du projet sera
d’équiper le quartier BlueFactory de Fribourg et les carrefours adjacents avec des plateformes de capteurs compatibles
« Internet des Objets » et évolutives. Les capteurs seront capables d’inférer le trafic, de mesurer la pollution de l’air, la
pollution sonore et l’illumination ambiante. Un second objectif sera de traiter les informations collectées afin de mettre
en place différents services d’analyse permettant d’estimer des indices de qualité de vie au niveau des quartiers et de
la ville. Finalement, il s’agira de mettre les données récoltées ainsi que les plateformes de capteurs à disposition des
équipes du smart living lab pour leur propres projets.

Link zur Publikation

Zusammenfassung:

The modern built environment is now connected. Multiple software and protocols are used in buildings of many kinds, thus creating a fascinating and heterogeneous environment. Within this context, applied research can be complicated and would benefit from a single data location across projects and users. The first version of BBData tried to solve this problem, BBData v2.0 is an update with a better-defined scope and a new codebase. The solution has been open sourced and simplified with a full software rewrite. Its components are now state-of-the-art and proven to be stable in industrial settings. The achieved performances have been thoroughly tested. Together with its new architecture, BBData v2.0 now accommodates the needs of modern experiments; efficient for simple proof of concepts while keeping the possibility to scale up to city-level projects. This flexibility makes BBData a good candidate for research while being able to scale in production settings.

Zusammenfassung:

With the fourth generation of district heating networks in sight, opportunities are rising for better services and optimized planning of energy production. Indeed, the more intensive data collection is expected to allow for load prediction, customer profiling, etc. In this context, our work aims at a better understanding of customer profiles from the captured data. Given the variety of households, such profiles are difficult to capture. This study explores the possibility to predict domestic hot water (DHW) usage. Such prediction is made challenging due to the presence of two components in the signal, the first one bound to the physical properties of the DHW distribution system, the second one bound to the human patterns related to DHW consumption. Our contributions include (1) the analysis of recurrent neural network architectures based on GRU, (2) the inclusion of state-based labels inferred in an unsupervised way to simulate domain knowledge, (3) the comparison of different features. Results show that the physical contribution in the signal can be forecasted successfully across households. On the contrary, the stochastic "human" component is harder to predict and would need further research, either by improving the modelling or by including alternate signals.

Journal of Physics: Conference Series,

Link zur Publikation

Zusammenfassung:

Providing users with relevant information raises their awareness on the influence of their behavior on the energy consumption and comfort in their workspace. A user-building interface was developed as part of this research through a co-creation process. It provides the occupants of monitored offices with information on their electricity and heating consumption, comfort indicators (temperature and air quality), light control and hints and tips on how to improve their behavior. This contribution describes the methodology used to improve the behavior of users in a pilot building and the results of a 32-week measurement campaign.

The impact of building occupant behavior on energy efficiency and methods to influence it :

Wissenschaftlicher Artikel ArODES

a review of the state of the art

Antonio Paone, Jean-Philippe Bacher

Energies, 2018, 11, 953

Link zur Publikation

Zusammenfassung:

Buildings consume a significant amount of energy, estimated at about one-third of total primary energy resources. Building energy efficiency has turned out to be a major issue in limiting the increasing energy demands of the sector. Literature shows that building user behavior can increase the efficiency of the energy used in the building and different strategies have been tested to address and support this issue. These strategies often combine the quantification of energy savings and qualitative interpretation of occupant behavior in order to foster energy efficiency. Strategies that influence building occupant behaviors include eco-feedback, social interaction, and gamification. This review paper presents a study conducted on the state of the art related to the impact of building user behavior on energy efficiency, in order to provide the research community with a better understanding and up-to-date knowledge of energy, comfort-related practices, and potential research opportunities. Achieving and maintaining energy-efficient behavior without decreasing the comfort of building occupants still represents a challenge, despite emerging technologies and strategies as well as general research progress made over the last decade. Conclusions highlight eco-feedback as an effective way to influence behavior, and gamification as a new opportunity to trigger behavioral change. The impact of user behavior is difficult to quantify for methodological reasons. Factors influencing human behavior are numerous and varied. Multi-disciplinary approaches are needed to provide new insights into the inner dynamic nature of occupant’s energy behavior.

Link zur Publikation

Zusammenfassung:

Future buildings will more and more rely on advanced Building Management Systems (BMS) connected to a variety of sensors, actuators and dedicated networks. Their objectives are to observe the state of rooms and apply automated rules to preserve or increase comfort while economizing energy. In this work, we advocate for the inclusion of a dedicated system for sensors data storage and processing, based on Big Data technologies. This choice enables new potentials in terms of data analytics and applications development, the most obvious one being the ability to scale up seamlessly from one smart building to several, in the direction of smart areas and smart cities. We report in this paper on our system architecture and on several challenges we met in its elaboration, attempting to meet requirements of scalability, data processing, flexibility, interoperability and privacy. We also describe current and future end-user services that our platform will support, including historical data retrieval, visualisation, processing and alarms. The platform, called BBData - Big Building Data, is currently in production at the Smart Living Lab of Fribourg and is offered to several research teams to ease their work, to foster the sharing of historical data and to avoid that each project develops its own data gathering and processing pipeline.

Link zur Konferenz

Zusammenfassung:

Electricity storage technologies in buildings are evolving, mainly to reduce their environmental impact and to improve self-sufficiency of buildings that produce their own energy through Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) installations. To maximize self-consumption – minimizing the import of grid electricity – photovoltaic (PV) systems can be coupled with a hydrogen storage system converting the electricity to hydrogen by electrolysis during the summer season – when the on-site production is higher – and employing it during the winter season with fuel cells. This study focuses on the sizing constraints of solar hydrogen systems at building-scale using an innovative research-centre that will be built in Fribourg (Switzerland). It presents four stories and a mix-usage (office spaces and research facilities areas) and multi-oriented PV installation in order to produce enough electricity to achieve at least 50% of electricity self-sufficiency ratio. Using the PV production, this study aims to optimise the sizing of a hydrogen storage system allowing to reach the required self-sufficiency ratio with the lowest environmental impact possible. Ultimately, the global energy and financial efficiency of the system will be analysed.

Flexibility shares in a low-voltage distribution grid :

Proceedings of the 6th European Grid Service Market Symposium, 4-5 July 2022, Lucerne, Switzerland

Link zur Konferenz

Zusammenfassung:

Among the issues distribution system operators are anticipating today, the management of peak loads is at the forefront. This problematic has repercussions on the dimensioning of the network infrastructure that must support these peaks, consequence of the deployment of distribution energy resources like solar panels, or the introduction of future consumption needs driven by the electrification of the energy system. In answer to this problematic, leveraging the electrical flexibility of end-customers mixing consumption and production profiles is considered particularly promising to avoid the oversizing of the grid infrastructure or the use of dimensioning cases too strict for connecting new end-customers to the grid. To determine the flexibility shares the DSOs can use as leeway for the grid management, the end-customers’ load profiles made available by the deployment of advance metering infrastructure are leveraged, in combination with the data obtained from the DSOs’ geographical and network information systems. Utilizing the deployment of their advance metering infrastructure, Groupe E initiated a data-driven project analyzing the load profiles in a typical low-voltage distribution grid covering 269 distinct end-customers. These end-customers present combinations of profiles mixing baseline residential consumption, particular non-standard consumption (heat pumps, electrical vehicles) and production (photovoltaic) profiles. Based on this data, a methodology has been proposed to identify critical loci in time and location where the grid infrastructure reaches its load limits and targets select impacted end-customers for the activation of flexibility lowering in return the peaks critical for the infrastructure. The methodology follows a data-oriented approach to (1) identify the flexibility shares in the grid where the activation improves the load on the infrastructure using the load profiles and (2) propose a flexibility controlling strategy benefiting the grid infrastructure with the analysis of the effects of this strategy on the grid infrastructure and the impacted end-customers.

Zusammenfassung:

Professionals involved in building construction and monitoring increasingly implement new practices made available by Building Information Modelling (BIM), Virtual Reality (VR) and the Internet of Things (IoT). In spite of numerous efforts, most methods integrating BIM and IoT rely on Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) related to Closed Source Software (CSS), which practically exclude the basic BIM Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) standard. Within the fewer methods actively using the IFC data model to VR-enhanced interfaces, we can observe the loss of crucial IFC information. This article describes a workflow of a BIM-IFC to VR-enabled data management definition, articulating a Building Management Systems' (BMS) database or, as an alternative, an IoT system. This workflow is presented through four phases (model making, device inventory, protocol setting, and real-time VR interaction), which correspond to the actual sections of the information flow that we have successfully tested.

Zusammenfassung:

La consommation des bâtiments est fortement influencée par le comportement de ses occupants. Il est donc important de sensibiliser les utilisateurs à leur consommation et de les aider à la réduire. Le projet THE4BEES présenté dans cette contribution vise (1) à sensibiliser les utilisateurs à la consommation d'énergie des bâtiments et (2) à optimiser le confort et l'efficacité énergétique grâce à une meilleure interaction entre les utilisateurs et les bâtiments. La méthode proposée donne un rôle important à l'utilisateur, tout en augmentant l'utilisation et l'acceptation, ce qui est parfois difficile à réaliser avec des solutions entièrement automatiques. Pour ce faire, une interface utilisateur (application TIC sur tablette) a été développée dans le cadre de ce projet. Cet outil fournit aux occupants de deux bureaux surveillés des informations sur leur consommation d'électricité et de chauffage, des indicateurs de confort (température et qualité de l'air), un contrôle des lampes et des conseils et astuces pour améliorer leur comportement. Le système mis en œuvre est multi-protocole afin de pouvoir communiquer avec des capteurs et actionneurs de tout type et de tout fabricant. Une campagne de mesure de 32 semaines a conduit à une réduction significative de la consommation électrique des lumières et des appareils électriques. La qualité de l'air dans l'environnement de travail a également été améliorée grâce à l'interface utilisateur. Cette recherche a mis en évidence que le fait d'inclure les occupants dès le début du processus de conception d'une interface utilisateur qui répond à leurs attentes est une bonne façon de les informer et de leur faire prendre conscience de l'impact de leur comportement sur la consommation d'énergie.

Zusammenfassung:

La transition énergétique soulève les questions de la performance, du potentiel de façade et de l'intégration architecturale des solutions photovoltaïques. Dans ce contexte, la compréhension holistique des obstacles et des opportunités du marché est un enjeu majeur. Cette contribution s'appuie sur les résultats du projet SNSF PNR70 ACTIVE INTERFACES (sous-projet 05) et met l'accent sur les aspects d'intégration architecturale (design et technique) ainsi que sur les aspects socio-économiques, les aspects normatifs et juridiques et le transfert de connaissances entre les différents acteurs le long de la chaîne de valeur des produits BIPV. Cette recherche considère le renouvellement urbain résidentiel de la ville de Neuchâtel comme une étude de cas afin d'évaluer le potentiel commercial du BIPV. La méthodologie utilisée consiste en une approche pragmatique, en interrogeant les architectes et les propriétaires sur les choix qu'ils ont faits pour leur projet de rénovation spécifique ainsi que leur point de vue et leurs croyances à l'égard du PV et du BIPV. Un modèle d'acceptation du comportement planifié a été utilisé pour évaluer l'influence de différents facteurs tels que l’appréciation de la valeur ajoutée, les attentes en termes de performance, la perception des efforts induits, les croyances normatives et la motivation à se conformer - ce qui génère l'intention comportementale - ainsi que les compétences personnelles, les contraintes spécifiques et les conditions facilitant l'adoption du BIPV qui, elles, génèrent l’action. Les résultats de cette étude permettent de mieux comprendre le potentiel de marché du BIPV dans le processus de rénovation urbaine et offrent de nouvelles perspectives sur les politiques publiques et les mécanismes d'incitation existants. Sur la base de l'analyse des entretiens avec les parties prenantes, des recommandations concrètes susceptibles de modifier de manière significative les pratiques actuelles dans ce domaine sont proposées.

Market potential and acceptance of building integrated PV (BIPV) solutions, a practical approach

Konferenz ArODES

Proceedings of the 12th Conference on Advanced Building Skins, 2-3 October 2017, Bern, Switzerland

Link zur Konferenz

Zusammenfassung:

Despite technological progress and costs reductions of PV systems, only a marginal part of the solar electricity potential of BIPV is currently harnessed, although BIPV could effectively contribute to the energy transition toward a sustainable electricity production. This study focuses on the market potential of BIPV in the urban renewal process of Neuchatel’s city, a representative example of middle-size cities of the Swiss Plateau. A study of building permits and a statistical analysis of photovoltaic installations commissioned in recent years have demonstrated the growing potential of renovation or transformation of multi-storey residential buildings with progressive densification of urban areas in Switzerland. Then, this research followed a pragmatic approach, interviewing architects on choices they made for their specific renovation project as well as their viewpoint and beliefs towards PV and BIPV. Answers were examined and compared to interviewees profiles, taking into account their knowledge on BIPV and their proneness to install BIPV products. An acceptance model was used to evaluate the influence of different factors which generate the behavioral intention or enable action. Conclusions shows that the principal obstacle to the BIPV is the lack of knowledge about this technology. Then come obstacles of the lack of market pull and the too high cost investment.
