Software-Defined Wireless Decentralized Building Management System

Abstract

This report documents the installation and testing of a new BMS architecture which significantly lowers total lifecycle cost to 1/2 that of state-of-the-art competitors in the small building sector, enabling ROIs that make retrofits possible through performance contracts. The results of this project clearly establish the installed costs and energy savings for a range of building sizes and HVAC setups, demonstrating the necessary ROI to justify efficiency projects using this BMS. Installing advanced BMS systems in a larger portion of the DoD small building inventory will generate considerable utility savings for the DoD as well as help meet federal greenhouse emission reduction mandates.
