State-of-the-art user interfaces for building operating systems

Being equipped with an appropriate user interface, building operating systems are capable of providing transparent information on energy consumption and generation in the household and achieving interaction with residents to implement energy management and optimization. In order to help provide a reference for the design of a more comprehensive user interface for building operating systems in the future, this paper reviews state-of-the-art user interfaces for various building operating systems and evaluates them from perspectives of a variety of use cases relating to smart buildings as well as different technical characteristics about successful user interfaces.
