BEMS系统的用户需要有独立于制造商提供的性能信息。描述了基于这种需求开发的评估方法。该方法通过使用在国际能源机构附件17框架内开发的建筑和设备模拟器来实现。选择的评估程序包括指定建筑能源管理系统所需的功能。必须对其系统进行测试的制造商随后将获得这些规范。他们配置系统并将其连接到模拟器。然后进行一系列测试，在此期间，BEMS控制模拟安装，并编写评估报告。 提供所用建筑和设备模拟器的说明、评估程序的说明，以及已在用于管理办公楼循环加热系统的两种不同边界元法上执行的测试结果。讨论了利用这些试验结果比较边界元法的可能性。计算，控制，计算，模拟。引用:研讨会，ASHRAE Trans。1994年，第100卷，第一部分

Users of BEMS systems need to have performance information independent of that which manufacturers supply. Describes an assessment method developed because of this need. The method was implemented by using a building and equipment emulator developed within the framework of Annex 17 of the International Energy Agency. The chosen assessment procedure consists of specifying the functions required of the building energy management system. Manufacturers whose systems must be tested are then supplied with these specifications. They configure the system and connect it to the emulator. A series of tests during which the BEMS controls the modelled installation is then conducted, and an assessment report is written. Provides a description of the building and equipment emulator used, a description of the assessment procedure, and the results of tests already performed on two different BEMS used for managing hydronic heating systems in an office building. Possible use of these test results to compare the BEMS is discussed.KEYWORDS: energy management, controls, emulation, estimating, calculating, testing.
