Abstract

The goals of ecological transition in habitations require an increasing number of considerations to ensure that newly installed systems or building management solutions are economically advantageous and effective in terms of energy savings and production. The increasing variety and supply of renewable energy systems, and the increasing demand for them require tools that meet the needs of building stakeholders (e.g., building owners and facility managers) to ease the transition as well as provide consistent metrics to measure the validity and integrated simulation to facilitate investment decisions and track ecological transition progress over time. This paper introduces a comprehensive toolset with multiple features, including the simulation and management of Renewable Energy Systems (RES), the Building Management System (BMS) integration, and the calculation and simulation of the Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI). This toolset collectively assesses the readiness of a building toward an ecological transition. Specifically, the system includes: (1) an Advanced SRI Calculation Engine, which implements both simplified (Method A) and detailed (Method B) SRI calculations for various European regions providing precise evaluations of smart building capabilities across domains such as heating, cooling, ventilation, lighting, and energy monitoring; (2) a continuous tracking of building’s smart readiness evolution enabled by seamless BMS Integration that allows real-time monitoring of building systems and allows a continuous tracking of a building's smart readiness evolution; and finally (3) an Optimized Investment Advisor which offers tailored recommendations for investments in smart building upgrades, renewable energy installations, and energy storage systems, employing advanced optimization algorithms to ensure cost-effectiveness and energy efficiency. Developed as part of the INSPIRE, an experiment under the SUSTAIN EU project Open Call for smart building innovations, this toolset aims to enhance decision-making processes, improve resource allocation, and foster a holistic approach to achieve smart, sustainable, and energy-efficient buildings.
