The built environment, as hallmark of modern society, has become one of the key drivers of energy demand. This makes for meaningful application of novel paradigms, such as cyber-physical systems, with large scale impact for both primary energy consumption reduction as well as (micro-) grid stability problems. In a bottom-up approach we analyze the drivers of CPS design, deployment and adoption in smart buildings. This ranges from low-level embedded and real time system challenges, instrumentation and control issues, up to ICT security layers protecting information in a world of ubiquitous connectivity. A modeling and predictive control framework is also discussed with outlook of deployment for HVAC optimization to a new facility for research from our campus.
