Key performance indicators regarding user comfort for building energy consumption management
7th International Conference on Energy and Environment Research, ICEER 2020, 14–18 September, ISEP, Porto, Portugal ; This paper proposes an optimization approach to minimize the power consumption of an office building considering user comfort and key performance indicators. The present approach implements the power reduction by reducing power consumption of lights and air conditioners as reducible loads, and implements load shifting by considering dishwasher as shift able load. Two key performance indicators and several comfort parameters are defined to limit the power reduction of lights and air conditioners to consider the user comfort. In the context of load shifting, the complete operation cycle of dishwasher should be shifted without interruption based on the priority weight of the periods and available power. In the present optimization approach, sufficient number of periods have been considered for running the optimization, considering operational constraints and multiple levels for key performance indicators to evaluate their effectiveness. The case study of the work contains six different scenarios to validate different characteristics of the approach. Real consumption data of 20 lights, 10 air conditioners and 1 dishwasher in 20 working days have been applied to implement six different scenarios to propose a real comparable view of present approach. ; This work has received funding from Portugal 2020 under SPEAR project, Portugal (NORTE-01-0247-FEDER040224) and from FEDER Funds through COMPETE program and from National Funds through (FCT, Portugal) under the project UIDB/00760/2020, and CEECIND/02887/2017 ; info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion
