Energy Efficiency in Public Buildings through Context-Aware Social Computing
The challenge of promoting behavioral changes in users that leads to energy savings in public buildings has become a complex task requiring the involvement of multiple technologies. Wireless sensor networks have a great potential for the development of tools, such as serious games, that encourage acquiring good energy and healthy habits among users in the workplace. This paper presents the deve...
متن کاملContext-Aware Energy Efficiency in Smart Buildings
When talking about energy efficiency at global scale, buildings are the cornerstone in terms of power consumption and CO2 emissions. New communication paradigms, such as Internet of Things, can improve the way sensors and actuators are accessed in smart buildings. Following this approach, we present an energy efficiency subsystem integrated with a building automation solution that makes the mos...
متن کاملImproving Energy Efficiency and Risk Management in EU Public Buildings
National and regional authorities worldwide have passed legislation in order to mitigate climate change. For example, the “20-20-20” targets of the European Commission include a 20% improvement in energy efficiency by 2020 relative to 1990 levels (EU, 2008; EU, 2009). One pathway for this objective to be achieved is via improved operational and retrofitting practices in existing buildings. Sinc...
متن کاملEnergy-aware Computing Energy Efficiency from a Circuit Perspective
......The march of Moore’s law continues to provide ever more transistors, but unfortunately Dennard scaling—the concomitant reduction of CMOS threshold and supply voltages—has come to an end. Hence, power density and peak power demands are soaring with each new silicon process generation on a trajectory that far outstrips improvements in our ability to dissipate heat. Because of these trends, ...
متن کاملEnergy efficiency in historic buildings
The particularity of cultural heritage and its interaction with the theme of energy efficiency has often been analysed either for the purposes of integrating climate control systems in listed buildings, which can be quite a complicated problem [ASHRAE, 2003] [CIBSE, 2002], or in the framework of the conservation of cultural heritage, using approaches which at times can be overly sectoral – [Tet...
