Abstract
Energy management of complex buildings is a set of mutually connected energy branches (energy processes and installations) the aim of which is the production, transport, and distribution of energy carriers to consumers (e.g. office rooms and garages). Due to these connections, the energy management treated as a whole is characterized by features not displayed by particular energy branches considered separately [5]. Therefore, energy management of complex buildings can be considered as a system from the viewpoint of the oldest definition of system formulated by Aristotle [7].
