Abstract
Malfunctioning control, operation, and building equipment, such as unstable control loop, biased sensor, and stuck outdoor air damper, are considered as the top cause for “deficient” building systems. In this article, types of faults that are commonly observed in a building system are introduced firstly. Literature-reported fault detection and diagnosis methods for building systems are then briefly summarized, which is followed by a discussion on the technical challenges in building system fault detection and diagnosis areas. Other topics, such as impacts that a fault could cause to a building, how to evaluate a fault detection and diagnosis method, and issues related to implementing a fault testing, are reviewed next. Future directions in this area are presented at the end of this article.
