Abstract:
The design of building automation systems is a complex task. As it has many similarities to the design of embedded systems, this article proposes the use of simulation techniques taken from circuit design for the development of building automation systems. As an example for the simulation framework being developed a simulation of the energy consumptions of flats and their inhabitants is shown, implemented in the hardware description language SystemC AMS.
