CALL FOR PAPERS
Sensing, monitoring and actuating systems are expected to play a key role in reducing buildings overall energy consumption. Leveraging sensor systems to support energy efficiency in buildings poses novel research challenges in monitoring how the space is used, controlling devices, interfacing with smart energy meters and communicating with the energy grid. This includes developing energy efficient algorithms of control systems, integrating heterogeneous devices, personalizing and presenting data to generate energy awareness. These challenges include making sensed data available to any connected device, facilitating reasoning from multiple sources of data achieving global energy conservation over a combination of different systems, and devising control systems that support a multitude of network actuators.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
We solicit contributions that focus on the design of architectures that are capable of improving the global energy efficiency of
buildings leveraging connected sensing systems, networks, and devices. Of particular interest is also the application of sensing and
actuation technologies to distributed energy generation systems, i.e., systems to generate energy from federated small energy sources
such as microgrids and local green energy sources. Successful papers will demonstrate how much energy is reduced by the authors'
contribution, either through real-world results or credible simulation and analysis. We expect concise papers (max. 6 pages)
presenting results from field trials, theoretical and practical issues of improving energy-efficiency in buildings by using embedded
sensing systems written from both an academic and an industrial perspective. |
