Regione Lazio Project
We have implemented a Building Automation solution to manage and monitor the largest Gas Driven VRF air conditioning system in Europe and fully exploiting the cogeneration part of the electricity and hot water
In 2007, together with Andrea Antognarelli from Studio Antognarelli in Parma, we created the air conditioning system management system for the Lazio Region headquarters in Rome for Sanyo Airconditioners Europe.
Thanks to the Lonworks system and the Echelon iLON 100 devices, at the time very popular in Asia and America, but practically unknown in Europe, we were able to interface the HTML and JavaScript application with all the fan coils in the building.
The project immediately posed complex problems, both due to the lack of documentation and the size of the system, consisting of a battery of 24 iLON 100s and 1,500 rooms to be controlled.
In 2009 we implemented a new web application aimed at monitoring the energy consumption of the air conditioning system. In this case, the solution collected data on electricity and gas consumption every 60 seconds and grouped them by physical and logical units, allowing the division of costs between the various departments based on actual consumption.
