Energy Consumption Adaptation Approach for Smart Buildings

Since the last years, a huge interest has been paid for the new generation buildings: the Smart Buildings. The Smart Buildings bring solutions to several issues, like those related to the energy management and the occupant's comfort. Therefore, a Smart Building has the possibility to manage its energetic behaviour in order to reduce its energy consumption and ensure a healthy state and durability of its devices. We find that many research studies were conducted these last years for Smart Buildings. These research studies propose several solutions to manage the energy consumption in Smart Buildings. We are interested in research studies that not only manage the energy consumption but also guarantee that the occupant's wellbeing is maintained. We consider a Smart Building in which a Smart Building application implements a set of energy saving strategies. We propose different algorithms for the energy management embedded in the Smart Building application while keeping as possible the occupants' comfort.
