Existing solutions have several limitations
Exclude important parameters
Capacity of the building to participate to the Energy
Market
BMS functionnalities are limited– Rely on Data/information (and not knowledge)
Performance gap
But…

The gap between actual energy performance and design energy performance can arise
from:
construction errors
commissioning errors
the way buildings are actually used and operated
An overview of the performance gap

Highly Innovative building control Tools Tackling the
energy performance GAP
What’s HIT2GAP?
Decision support and visualisation
tool for the facility managers,
buildings’ occupants
and users
Data mining, DMKD
Users behaviour modelling
in order to better predict
and optimise the use of
the building

HIT2GAP process
The applications/modules are
physically implemented outside the
HIT2GAP core platform and not inside
it.
