Query: A Markov Process Approach to Ensemble Control of Smart Buildings   This paper describes a step-by-step procedure that converts a physical model
of a building into a Markov Process that characterizes energy consumption of
this and other similar buildings. Relative to existing thermo-physics-based
building models, the proposed procedure reduces model complexity and depends on
fewer parameters, while also maintaining accuracy and feasibility sufficient
for system-level analyses. Furthermore, the proposed Markov Process approach
makes it possible to leverage real-time data streams available from intelligent
data acquisition systems, which are readily available in smart buildings, and
merge it with physics-based and statistical models. Construction of the Markov
Process naturally leads to a Markov Decision Process formulation, which
describes optimal probabilistic control of a collection of similar buildings.
The approach is illustrated using validated building data from Belgium.
