- Abstract
- Manufacturers of energy management and control systems (EMCS) have a strong interest in developing new products quickly, minimizing the time required to install and commission new systems, and making sure that new control products and systems work in a reliable manner when installed in a variety of real applications. The last is of particular importance since it helps to minimize the risk and cost involved in bringing new products to market. A building/HVAC emulator is a promising new tool that is likely to assist manufacturers in these areas and to provide many additional benefits.
