Multi-dimensional building performance data management for continuous commissioning

Current buildings’ performance assessment tools are deficient in their ability to integrate and process building monitoring data to generate actionable information that can assist in achieving a higher level of building performance. Therefore, this paper addresses this problem by proposing the design and implementation of a multi-dimensional data analysis concept for building monitoring data. Firstly, the development of the multi-dimensional performance data model is described based on data warehouse technology. Secondly, a dedicated graphical user interface is introduced bringing the benefits of the multi-dimensional model to different stakeholders. Finally, the advantages of multi-dimensional performance data management is demonstrated in a real life case study for on-site and e-service performance management.
