Deliverable D4.4 - e-SAFE BEMS early version

This Deliverable corresponds to the first and early version of the e-BEMS (Building Energy Management System). The present document contains the collection of all the developments carried out in Task 4.3. It contains the definition of the BEMS as an ICT solution for monitoring purposes and for managing the energy systems.
The objective of this deliverable is to provide the first version of the e-BEMS system that will monitor and partly control the building's mechanical and electrical equipment within Task 4.3.

The document first analyzes the BEMS scope and provides some examples of BEMS frameworks that are suitable for the project purposes. e-BEMS is then analyzed from the end-user’s perspective through user stories, and functional and non-functional requirements within e-SAFE project are considered. Probes for indoor and outdoor comfort, energy production and consumption, and also thermal system probes, are presented in this first version.
Moreover, the first version of the e-BEMS is provided with its main features and components. Supported data communication and exchange protocols, the data model of the e-BEMS environment and user interfaces are provided as the base platforms.
