Development of an Automated Building Energy Management System

Thesis Abstract

Abstract
This thesis presents the development of an Automated Building Energy Management System (ABEMS) designed to optimize energy consumption and improve efficiency in buildings. The increasing demand for energy efficiency and sustainability in the built environment has driven the need for innovative solutions to monitor and control energy usage. The ABEMS integrates advanced sensor technologies, data analytics, and automation to provide real-time monitoring and control of building systems. Chapter 1 provides an introduction to the project, outlining the background of the study, problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, structure of the thesis, and definition of key terms. The research aims to address the challenges associated with traditional building energy management systems and propose a more efficient and automated solution. Chapter 2 presents a comprehensive literature review covering ten key areas related to building energy management systems, including current trends, technologies, challenges, and best practices. The review of existing literature provides a foundation for understanding the current state of the field and identifying gaps that the ABEMS seeks to address. Chapter 3 details the research methodology employed in developing the ABEMS, including system design, data collection methods, sensor integration, data analysis techniques, and system implementation. The methodology outlines the step-by-step process followed to design, test, and deploy the ABEMS in a real-world building environment. Chapter 4 discusses the findings of the study, highlighting the performance and effectiveness of the ABEMS in optimizing energy consumption and improving building efficiency. The chapter presents data analysis results, system performance metrics, and case studies to demonstrate the practical application and benefits of the ABEMS. Chapter 5 provides a conclusion and summary of the project thesis, highlighting the key findings, contributions, limitations, and future recommendations for further research and development. The ABEMS offers a promising solution to address energy management challenges in buildings and contribute to a more sustainable built environment. In conclusion, the development of an Automated Building Energy Management System represents a significant advancement in building automation technology, with the potential to revolutionize energy management practices and drive towards a more sustainable future. The ABEMS offers a scalable and adaptable solution for optimizing energy consumption in buildings, reducing operational costs, and enhancing overall building performance.
