CASCADE methodology and tool: appliedICT for energy efficient airports

Abstract

This paper gives an overview on the CASCADE project, methodology and on a stakeholdercentered solution called the CASCADE Tool that integrates Fault Detection and Diagnosis (FDD)into a comprehensive energy management system. Two major European airports are used as the test bench of the CASCADE solution. The solution delivers a common integrated platform including several innovative commercial and under development technologies including an ISO-50001 energy management software, advanced data visualization and FDD which has become a robust scientific field offering proven methods for the optimization and more effective operation of HVAC systems.
