Abstract
The Internet of Energy (IoE) impacts on smart cities’ power sector. IoE is an implementation of the Internet of Things technology (IoT) into distributed energy systems and aims to achieve energy efficiency, to avoid energy wasting, and improve environmental conditions. IoE technology includes, among others, utilizing smart sensors and renewable energy integration. Therefore, the IoE is becoming a legal science tool to serve the purpose of a smart city. In this paper, we refer to the reasons that led the European Union to compile Regulations for facilitating transformation of existing cities, starting from existing buildings, into smart buildings. We propose a smart building template that manages the performance of all technical systems through IoT technology with the view of achieving energy efficiency. In addition, in order to improve the certification of existing buildings, as for energy performance, we propose an automated remote, control method supported by cloud interface. This method minimizes time consuming procedures and stores, on a cloud platform the energy performance of each building, for the purpose of drawing conclusion and applying measures.
Highlights
In a smart city, technology is placed in the serve of society in order to achieve the smart objectives of every living factor that motivates society, such as the administration, citizens and industry
RELATED WORK For the purpose of this study we review and analyze previous literature which has been published in the field of smart buildings, energy efficiency and Internet of Things (IoT) technology, in order to collect all representative technologies regarding Heat, Ventilation, Air Condition systems (HVAC), Renewable Energy systems (RES), Building Energy Management Systems (BEMS) and generally energy efficient methods applicable to smart buildings
To continue with the HVAC technical system of the smart building, as mentioned above, we propose the utility of RES in order to reduce energy consumption from the grid and to avoid the use of fossil fuel that provokes gas emissions which contribute to the contamination of the environment
Summary
Technology is placed in the serve of society in order to achieve the smart objectives of every living factor that motivates society, such as the administration, citizens and industry. For existing buildings, regarding the Smart Readiness indicator and bearing in mind the aim of European legislation for the gradual transformation of buildings into smart buildings, which has not been considered in literature before, and with the view to improve Building Certification and compliance checking of existing buildings as for energy performance, we try to develop a management system which will check the energy consumption of a building’s technical systems remotely and will propose solutions in case of energy inefficiency.
