Abstract
In this article, the PROBAnD requirements engineering method, which is specialized towards the domain of building automation systems, is presented. The method bases on object-orientation to handle complexity, reuse to gain efficiency as well as product quality, and prototyping to enable test-based verification and validation early in the development process. To demonstrate the applicability and efficiency of this method, the results of an extensive case study are introduced.
