Bridging the two domains of building and industrial
automation systems at their management levels is a topic hardly
regarded so far. Nevertheless, cross-domain integration promises
significant benefits in terms of resource consumption and costs
optimisation where systems of both worlds encounter each other.
To this aim, this work presents an OPC UA information modelling framework providing a holistic information base for both
domains. This facilitates the implementation of cross-domain
management applications in the context of smart grids with the
potential goals to coordinate the reuse of waste energy, to avoid
peak loads and to predict energy demand.
