Work Package 2 – Model definition
Objectives:
- Test and use different modelling techniques from data mining of energy related records to first principles modelling, from deterministic to stochatic approach, from classic to neural model;
- Obtain a final model. The factors that will be considered in the modelling phase may be: Technical, type of machinery, electrical loads, energy production and distribution;
External, outside environmental conditions; - Specific, number of patients, no of analyses carried out.
Description of work and role:
- Review of the national and international standards on energy efficiency in buildings, building energy labelling, computation of energy consumption in buildings;
- Analysis on commercial simulation tools for energy consumption evaluation.
Development of simple building simulators in Matlab environment.
Work Package 3 – Test on selected models
Objectives:
- The models selected in WP2 will be tested on the field in order to validate the theoretical work carried out during WP2 and point out improvement strategies;
- The testing of WP2 selected models will be carried out in at least two medical centres among those providing their support to the project;
- The testing will provide evidence relevant to the degree to which the selected models are accurate representations of the real world from the perspective of their intended uses;
- Based on the WP3 model validation a best suited static model will be defined.
Description of work and role:
- Define testing methodology and period for each parameter;
- Collect appropriate existing data from selected medical centers;
- Comparison of the selected models with the data collected Participation per Partner
Work Package 4 – What if analysis
Objectives:
- Carry out a systematic sensitivity analysis of the model;
- Disclosure the effect of the change of some variables and parameters under appropriate assumptions;
- Define Key Performance Indicators (KPI) in order to assist the user to formulate realistic future scenarios and compute suitable risk-based indexes.
Description of work and role:
- Review and analysis of the most appropriate testing methodology design for models on energy consumption in medical centers.
- Definition of variables, data collection, validations, quality measurements.
Work Package 5 – Development and testing of E3s prototype tool
Objectives:
- Correctly estimate the actual energy consumption;
- Correctly predict the financial and energetic value of the intervention on the equipment;
- Build a robust software with an user friendly interface.
Description of work and role:
- Setting up the input variables as suggested by WP4 results;
- Design and develop the tools procedures for a correct estimate of actual energy consumption;
- Design and develop the tool procedures for a correct prediction of financial and energetic value of the intervention on the equipment;
- Testing and validate the results with the fine tuning of variables and methods with a strict and continuous information exchange with WP3 and WP4 teams.
