27 Quintessence of research results The measurements in the rooms of the Biberach University of Applied Sciences indicate a significant energy saving potential with room control functions and building automation. (lighting and heating) The position and construction of the installed sensors and actuators have a significant influence on the closed loop control and thus on the results of the measurements The individual behavior of the occupants has a significant influence of the results A building automation and control system is the tool to realize a continuous energy monitoring. Thus, a continious optimized building operation is possible. Slide 34
