Energy Efficiency through Optimised Coordination of Production and Technical Building Services

Specifically for companies which involve high energy consuming production processes and need defined production environments as well as process-related auxiliary media optimising energy efficiency gets more and more important nowadays. Thereby it is crucial to have a holistic view on the whole system including the strong interdependences of production equipment and technical building services to derive global optima. Against this background this paper presents an integrated approach which basically enfolds the coupling of four different simulation tools for technical building services, building climate, production machines /material flow and production management. Thereby the approach supports the energy efficient design and management of production facilities and technical building services.
