Description
Oak Ridge report ORNL/TM-2026/4715, dated September 2026, builds a shared web console for building energy systems. Seven authors are printed, led by Jihoon Chung, Sen Huang, and Boming Liu. Small and mid-sized shops make up ninety-four percent of United States commercial buildings, yet most lack energy management gear. Cloud tools lock owners to one vendor, big suites cost too much, and open platforms speak too few building dialects.
One plain YAML file describes a building, and a converter rewrites it into the files each system needs. The console then reshapes itself to match the gear on site. It runs on the open VOLTTRON platform and speaks BACnet and Modbus, the two main building tongues. Tests used standard model buildings plus one live field site. Screens adapted on their own across unlike heating and cooling setups. Setup labour fell sharply against hand configuration, the team reports.
