The graphic below illustrates the problem and the role
of Gbots in solving it.
Gbots have proved to be a useful tool to allow integration
and optimization of building systems from the cloud.
In current building automation and control systems,
supervisory control strategies are developed from
heuristics or past operator experience, making use of
Artifcial Intelligence (AI) and Artifcial Neural Networks
(ANN). The system uses this experience to maintain
comfort levels, based on settings that worked in the
past in similar weather or load conditions without the
occupants complaining. Although this approach does
meet the basic needs of the building’s occupants, it
is almost impossible to maintain high levels of energy
effciency as conditions change. This problem can be
addressed by Gbots which can be programmed to
maintain the desired comfort levels at all times and alert
operators immediately to changes in system settings.
Proprietary and non- proprietary subsystems of a building such as
HVAC, Lighting, Sensors, Security, Metering, e.t.c
Variety of systems from vendors such as Trane, Siemens,
TAC, Honeywell, ABB, Dalkia, JCI, Invensys, Carrier, GE, e.t.c
Multiple protocols and standards, multiple architecture
Lack of unied platform
Absence of Intelligence in Building Technologies and absence of
remote diagnostic capability; absence of user connectivity with
the buildings
Lack of purpose of Intelligent Building Management System
