The planning and layout of a building automation and control system (BACS) is a complex process characterised by the application and interconnection of several different functions. Such a complex process is prone to planning errors that are often only recognised during the initial operation of the building. In order to guarantee earlier fault detection and function analysis, a basic approach for efficient production of functional models of BACS was developed. This approach combines an AutomationML-based manufacturer-independent description of the BACS with a manufacturer-specific room-automation function database to generate a Petri net model enabling simulation of the BACS. This functional model enables an early analysis of the system behaviour and performance.
