Development of a simulation-based methodology for energy
efficiency optimization including:
• the development of a conceptual framework,
• a detailed description of all required components as well as
• a prototypical implementation using a fictional use case scenario.
Experimental validation of the developed methodology in a practical
area of application including:
• the transfer of results of the fictional case study on the real
business case and
• an extensive and critical validation of the methodology.
