<p class="MsoNormal">Accurate, effective and thorough commissioning of building controls is often neglected or incomplete due to several factors; fear of occupant complaints, equipment damage, cost and time all contribute to a lack of proper commissioning.
 Building Controls Virtual Test-Bed (BCVTB), a free software available from Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, enables a user to connect their energy simulation to elements in the real world.  It can be used to incorporate real-time weather, sensor outputs, or
 even pieces of control hardware.<span class="bumpedfont15"> The research team at IDL implemented this process for a large campus building currently in operation, by physically connecting one of its controllers to an energy model developed in OpenStudio. This
 approach enabled identification and correction of operating parameters, including economizer control settings. By tuning just a few operational settings, this project had a potential to save up to 12% of the building’s energy per year.</span> This lecture
 will cover how the IDL successfully connected OpenStudio/EnergyPlus models to physical controllers.
