Latest developments pertaining to advanced building control systems have led to an increased
level of technological and operational complexity of this domain. In this context, the present
contribution describes a scalable and automated method for system mapping and generation of a
hierarchical and classical closed-loop control scheme. Flexible system model views facilitate
coordination and communication across the pertinent engineering domains and support controlrelated
cross-disciplinary work processes. Thereby, the underlying concept comprises a structural
mapping of the physical building and its systems to a modular zone concept. With these zones, an
automated process generates a hierarchical multi-level control scheme. The proposed approach
entails links to the structure of BIM and IFC data models. The resulting model represents the
building´s physical components and control systems. The conceptual model is of special importance
when advanced building control strategies such as multi-parameter control, hierarchical
control, and model-based controls are involved.
