Abstract In future smart communities, buildings must possess energy efficient systems, provide absolute comfort, empower occupants with information, adapt operations to energy grid situations and facilitate strategic maintenance. A key condition to realize these deliverables, is a proper designed and well-equipped building automation and control system (BACS). Thus, long-term solutions call for multi-criteria approaches capable of assessing and evaluating the building automation systems' performance based on multiple impacts. This paper introduces an innovative holistic tool ‘IBACSA’, for BACS assessment and smartness evaluation using a qualitative-based multi-criteria approach. A specific set of relevant systems and their associated services form the basis of the proposed auditing and evaluation methodology. The targeted building domains comprise 60 different services in total based on guidelines and functionalities listed in the EN15232 standard. The proposed tool is able to quantify the specific impacts of the selected control functionalities based on five criteria using the points grading principle. IBACSA demonstration in a case study university building is reported and evaluated. The building overall scored 79% on energy efficiency, 64% on maintenance & fault prediction, 24% on energy flexibility & storage, 70% on comfort and 84% on information to occupants. The implementation of IBACSA in the case study shows the potential of the tool in auditing various BACS features and reporting the impact of upgrades and retrofits. The proposed tool serves as a comprehensive and user-friendly instrument in a systematic building initial and retro commissioning platform, ensuring a good start-up for newly built and retrofitted energy efficient buildings.

IACSA：用于楼宇自动化和控制系统审计和智能评估的交互式工具

摘要 在未来的智能社区中，建筑物必须拥有节能系统、提供绝对舒适度、为居住者提供信息、使操作适应能源电网情况并促进战略维护。实现这些可交付成果的一个关键条件是设计合理且装备精良的楼宇自动化和控制系统 (BACS)。因此，长期解决方案需要能够基于多种影响评估和评估楼宇自动化系统性能的多标准方法。本文介绍了一种创新的整体工具“IBACSA”，它使用基于定性的多标准方法进行 BACS 评估和智能评估。一套特定的相关系统及其相关服务构成了拟议的审计和评估方法的基础。根据 EN15232 标准中列出的指南和功能，目标建筑领域总共包含 60 种不同的服务。所提出的工具能够使用积分分级原则根据五个标准量化所选控制功能的具体影响。报告并评估了案例研究大学建筑中的 IACSA 演示。该建筑在能源效率方面的总体得分为 79%，在维护和故障预测方面得分为 64%，在能源灵活性和存储方面得分为 24%，在舒适度方面得分为 70%，在向居住者提供信息方面得分为 84%。案例研究中 IACSA 的实施显示了该工具在审核各种 BACS 功能和报告升级和改造影响方面的潜力。
