Design, modeling of an intelligent green building using, actuator sensor interface network protocol

Abstract

Conventional buildings waste a huge quantity of energy and generate significant amount of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) — approximately 40% in the developed world and 33% elsewhere. Conventional buildings have been built for years without consideration being given to their impact on global warming. Since 1973, simulation of Green Building (GB) for energy efficiency started and many countries in particular the US showed a positive response to minimize the usage of energy in respect to reducing the CO2 emission. The last decade has witnessed rapid growing number of researches on GB energy efficiency system. However, studies indicate that the results of current GB simulations are not satisfactory to meet its objectives. In addition, to that, GB is an expensive investment compared to conventional building. The purpose of this research is to design and model Intelligent Green Building (IGB) that almost satisfies the objectives of IGB by using appropriate modern cost-effective technology like Actuator Sensor Interface (ASI) known AS-Interface. This method reduces the initial, running, and maintenance costs of electrical/electronic devices and limit wiring installations with significant amount of reduction ∼ 50%. In this paper the objectives and scope of IGB has been briefly discussed to demonstrate this research works complies within the economical and cost-effective design.
