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. INDEX TERMS Energy efficiency, energy performance of existing buildings, Internet of Things, smart building template, smart energy management.
In information technology industry, the development of new technology achievements influences and inspires the business world, serves and contributes to the progress of society. This rapidly evolving technological advancement needs a legal framework in order to obtain social and commercial status. Patent Law is the legal science and patent is the legal tool that adds value to intangible assets and therefore technology scientists are motivated to ensure their invention with a patent and also dominant technology enterprises are competing for the development of a strong patent portfolio. For the first time in Greece, combining the fields of intellectual property law and technological innovation, we created a survey using a questionnaire that was distributed in 2019, to graduated students of technology institutes in Greece. The purpose of the present survey is to clarify the knowhow of students as for the legal point of view of technology. We intend to find out, whether Greece's potential inventors have beyond their technological background, the skills and knowledge to support a potential innovative idea. The results of the survey were that students have confidence in the institution of patents; however they lack the knowledge of patenting technological inventions. At the same time they have a positive attitude and motivation for entrepreneurship in the technological industry. Consequently, it is vital to apply measures in education, for the next generation technical inventors to have the knowhow of utilizing their intellectual asset in their own free will. Then, we can refer to integrated scientist technocrats who can protect their intellectual property and manage a competitive business. INDEX TERMS Artificial intelligent inventions, computer related inventions, entrepreneurial trend, management of technology, patent law awareness, smart technology, survey on technology institutes.
This is the era of technological innovation, and the integration of technology into all sectors of society is a reality. Technology industry has already indicated the need for technology professionals who work and take decisions led not only by their engineering skills, but also by their legal and managerial skills. In this direction, in 2019 we conducted a survey using a questionnaire that was distributed to graduated students of Technology Institutes in Greece, in order to examine their knowhow on Entrepreneurship and on Patent Law in the direction of supporting a potential technological invention. Considering the above mentioned and the conclusion of the survey, in this paper a course is compiled and is proposed to be integrated in undergraduate curriculum of technical universities. The course regards both legal and managerial aspects of technology that concern a professional of technology. Educating new technological scientists to cope with the Technology Industry is a major issue and a qualification that scientific and industrial communities require. This paper serves this purpose; the proposed course is an innovative tool for the new generation technocratic scientists, who will serve the future technological and industrial society.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
