NEB Building Management System (BMS) and DATABASE

The NEB uses an advanced Cylon BMS to monitor and control the building. This displays real time measurements of building performance as well as short and long-term trends.

• Electricity metering: total of 78 individual meters distributed by system and floor;
• Heat energy metering: total of 12 meters across both the hot and chilled water circuits;
• Internal environment parameters available in each zone: Temperature, Relative humidity (where relevant), CO₂ concentration and window position (where relevant);
• Extensive sensor measurements of all HVAC systems;
• Internal slab temperature sensors: 5 per floor;
• Local weather monitoring station;
• Water monitoring;

BMS DATABASE

An MySQL database stores long term BMS data from approximately 4,000 sensors and components installed throughout the building. This  provides an invaluable asset for research (and education) related to building energy consumption, thermal comfort, and internal enviromental quality. The database is accessible remotely via web using a PHP application, or using MySQL Workbench. Data has been continually stored since November 2011 at typical intervals of 450 seconds. The database is automatically updated on a daily basis. If you are interested in gaining access to the NEB BMS database for research or education purposes, contact Daniel Coakley: ( daniel.coakleynuigalway.ie) or Edward Corry: ( edward.corry.phdgmail.com) with your proposal.
