Recommender systems have significantly developed in recent years in parallel with the witnessed advancements in both internet of things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. Accordingly, as a consequence of IoT and AI,…

Multiple advantages had been identified with the integration of data acquisition into any existing system configuration and implementation. Using data acquisition as a support into a monitoring system has not only improved its overall…

Heat, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems play a critical role in maintaining a comfortable thermal environment and cost approximately 40% of primary energy usage in the building sector. For smart energy management in buildings,…

In this paper, a general value of information (VoI) framework is formalised for latent variable models. In particular, the mutual information between the current status at the source node and the observed noisy measurements at the…

The rise of advanced data technologies in electric power distribution systems enables operators to optimize operations but raises concerns about data security and consumer privacy. Resulting data protection mechanisms that alter or…

In response to the substantial energy consumption in buildings, the Japanese government initiated the BI-Tech (Behavioral Insights X Technology) project in 2019, aimed at promoting voluntary energy-saving behaviors through the utilization…

The optimal management of a building's microclimate to satisfy the occupants' needs and objectives in terms of comfort, energy efficiency, and costs is particularly challenging. This complexity arises from the non-linear, time-dependent…

The Internet of Things (IoT) plays a major role today in smart building infrastructures, from simple smart-home applications, to more sophisticated industrial type installations. The vast amounts of data generated from relevant systems can…

The energy consumption of the HVAC system accounts for a significant portion of the energy consumption of the public building system, and using an efficient energy consumption prediction model can assist it in carrying out effective…

In this paper, we propose a practical Bayesian framework for the calibration and validation of a computer code, and apply it to a case study concerning the energy consumption forecasting of a building. Validation allows to quantify…

This paper describes the design, implementation, and user evaluation of an IoT project focused on monitoring and management of user comfort and energy usage in office buildings. The objective is to depict an instructive use case and to…

The optimization of Value of Information (VoI) in sensor networks integrates awareness of the measured process in the communication system. However, most existing scheduling algorithms do not consider the specific needs of monitoring…

In coming years residential consumers will face real-time electricity tariffs with energy prices varying day to day, and effective energy saving will require automation - a recommender system, which learns consumer's preferences from her…

Decision makers involved in the management of civil assets and systems usually take actions under constraints imposed by societal regulations. Some of these constraints are related to epistemic quantities, as the probability of failure…

Modern building control systems adopt demand control heating, ventilation, and cooling (HVAC) for increased energy efficiency. The integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) in the building control system can determine real-time demand,…

One of the primary challenges facing the Internet of Things is the reservation and efficient consumption of energy resources, especially in those types of applications that require continuous monitoring or suffer from lacking ongoing energy…

This paper provides a state-of-the-art literature review on economic analysis and pricing models for data collection and wireless communication in Internet of Things (IoT). Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are the main component of IoT which…

We present a universal concept for the Value of Information (VoI), based on the works of Claude Shannon's and Ruslan Stratonovich that can take into account very general preferences of the agents and results in a single number. As such it…

The Internet of Things adoption in the manufacturing industry allows enterprises to monitor their electrical power consumption in real time and at machine level. In this paper, we follow up on such emerging opportunities for data…

Information value, a measure for decision sensitivity, can provide essential information in engineering and environmental assessments. It quantifies the potential for improved decision-making when reducing uncertainty in specific inputs. By…
