Smart energy tools for buildings energy management

Nowadays, due to population growth, the demand for energy resources has increased. In this respect, the consortium of the European project CitiSim has developed a platform for the smart city ecosystem. It will provide a powerful monitoring and control infrastructure for planners to make critical management decisions on tactical and strategic levels. Smart services included are focused on energy consumption and building management. We focused our work on developing two innovative solutions: Smart Energy for building management and Business Intelligence Tool. The Smart Energy for building service is a service designed to deal with energy-related data, using analytic and forecasting algorithms to provide KPIs useful for the strategical decision making within a building. The second service, Business Intelligence Tool, relies on energy production and consumption monitoring, energy production potential simulation, and simulation of the economic performance of energy efficiency projects for various investment scenarios.
