Abstract

An optimal energy infrastructure is essential for adequate indoor comfort. In the design process of energy infrastructures there is no shared understanding (i.e. an ontology) of the design activities to come to an integral design of building and comfort systems. The purpose of this paper is to achieve an understanding of design activities in the context of designing architecture for Multi agents to optimize process control of the energy infrastructure of a building in relation to its surroundings. This paper presents a perspective of ontology of design activities in the Flexergy project based on the shared understanding by professionals of what each specific design activity entails. The Flexergy project aims to develop a multi-agent concept for innovative process control of a Flex(ible en)ergy infrastructure for buildings in relation to their environment and their internal processes.
