Research towards energy optimization in buildings heavily relies on building-related data such as measured indoor climate factors. While data collection is a labor- and cost-intensive task, simulations are a cheap alternative to generate…
A Smart Home provides integrating and electronic information services to help residential users manage their energy usage and bill cost but also exposes users to significant privacy risks due to fine-grained information collected by smart…
To meet widely recognised carbon neutrality targets, over the last decade metropolitan regions around the world have implemented policies to promote the generation and use of sustainable energy. Nevertheless, there is an availability gap in…
At present, a major concern regarding data centers is their extremely high energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions. However, because of the over-provisioning of resources, the utilization of existing data centers is, in fact,…
Buildings across the world contribute significantly to the overall energy consumption and are thus stakeholders in grid operations. Towards the development of a smart grid, utilities and governments across the world are encouraging smart…
In this chapter, we report on our experience with domestic flexible electric energy demand based on a regular commercial (HVAC)-based heating system in a house. Our focus is on investigating the predictability of the energy demand of the…
Recent advances in Internet of Things (IoT) technologies and the reduction in the cost of sensors have encouraged the development of smart environments, such as smart homes. Smart homes can offer home assistance services to improve the…
Device use in smart homes is becoming increasingly communal, requiring cohabitants to navigate a complex social and technological context. In this paper, we report findings from an exploratory survey grounded in our prior work on communal…
Sensing will be a key technology in 6G networks, enabling a plethora of new sensing-enabled use cases. Some of the use cases relate to deployments over a wide physical area that needs to be sensed by multiple sensing sources at different…
Residential heating, primarily powered by natural gas, accounts for a significant portion of residential sector energy use and carbon emissions in many parts of the world. Hence, there is a push towards decarbonizing residential heating by…
Electricity forms the backbone of the modern world but increasing energy demand with the growth of urban areas in recent decades has overwhelmed the current power grid ecosystem. So, there is a need to move towards a more efficient and…
Electrical energy consumption has been an ongoing research area since the coming of smart homes and Internet of Things devices. Consumption characteristics and usages profiles are directly influenced by building occupants and their…
As part of global climate action, digital technologies are seen as a key enabler of energy efficiency savings. A popular application domain for this work is smart homes. There is a risk, however, that these efficiency gains result in…
The growth of ubiquitous sensor networks at an accelerating pace cuts across many areas of modern day life. They enable measuring, inferring, understanding and acting upon a wide variety of indicators, in fields ranging from agriculture to…
This paper illustrates the design and implementation of a smart home automation system for the conservation of energy and user control with the help of environmental sensors and Raspberry Pi 5. It monitors real-time conditions like motion,…
Energy efficient buildings require high quality standards for all their technical equipment to enable their efficient and successful operation and management. Building simulations enable engineers to design integrated HVAC systems with…
Electricity usage is a major portion of utility bills and the best place to start lowering them. An effective home energy management approach is introduced to decrease customers' electricity bills by determining the optimal appliance…
With the rapid growth of smart home IoT devices, users are increasingly exposed to various security risks, as evident from recent studies. While seeking answers to know more on those security concerns, users are mostly left with their own…
The past decade has seen the advent of numerous building energy efficiency visualization and simulation systems; however, most of them rely on theoretical thermal models to suggest building structural design for new constructions and…
Consumers wish to choose sustainable accommodation for their travels, and in the case of corporations, may be required to do so. Yet accommodation marketplaces provide no meaningful capability for sustainable choice: typically CO2 estimates…
