Abstract
Within the operational phase buildings are now producing more data than ever before, from energy
usage, utility information, occupancy patterns, weather data, etc. In order to manage a building holistically
it is important to use knowledge from across these information sources. However, many barriers
exist to their interoperability and there is little interaction between these islands of information.
As part of moving building data to the cloud there is a critical need to reflect on the design of cloudbased
data services and how they are designed from an interoperability perspective. If new cloud data
services are designed in the same manner as traditional building management systems they will suffer
from the data interoperability problems.
Linked data technology leverages the existing open protocols and W3C standards of the Web architecture
for sharing structured data on the web. In this paper we propose the use of linked data as an enabling
technology for cloud-based building data services. The objective of linking building data in the cloud is to
create an integrated well-connected graph of relevant information for managing a building. This paper
describes the fundamentals of the approach and demonstrates the concept within a Small Medium sized
Enterprise (SME) with an owner-occupied office building.
