Abstract:
Manufacturers of energy management and control systems
(EMCS) have a strong interest in developing new products
quickly, minimizing the time required to install and
commission new systems, and making sure that new control
products and systems work in a reliable manner when
installed in a variety of real applications. The last
is of particular importance since it helps to minimize
the risk and cost involved in bringing new products to
market. A building/HVAC emulator is a promising new
tool that is likely to assist manufacturers in these
areas and to provide many additional benefits.
