Indoor Monitoring: SensorNet Integration and Actuations for Energy Saving

In order to achieve the annual target of energy requalification, prompted by regulations both at EU and national level, building occupants should obviously collaborate through organizational and behavioral measures related to energy consumption. LepidaSpA decided to integrate into an existing service, created to manage heterogeneous sensor networks extended to the entire territory of the Emilia Romagna Region, some new sensors created ad-hoc for the monitoring of environmental parameters inside buildings. Moreover, it was thought a data analysis model that allows to detect real-time unsuitable values and then trigger actuations aimed at saving energy. This first testbed specifically relies on warnings sent to the occupants of the offices so to raise awareness of energy saving problem and recommend a proper use of lighting, heating and air conditioning.
