    The research team reported the progress of the sub-project "Standardized Big Data Extraction Technology of Building and MEP system based on Energy Consumption Monitoring system", which belongs to the project "Key technologies for Database and Data integrated of Building and MEP system", in the third quarter symposium in 2018 for the 13th Five-Year Key R&D Project "Research and Demonstration on Big Data Management Technologies for Green Buildings within the Building Lifecycle". A software was developed by our research team, which mainly established the building energy information model for dynamic monitoring. We also proposed the integration methods of building energy information model and dynamic monitoring data, and formed the standardized extraction technology for static and dynamic data.
