Many authorities launched their energy sustainability plan that involve the sustainable energy management scheme to improve energy efficiency. The sustainable energy management scheme consists of several measures to encourage energy efficiency in three primary energy consumers by pursuing implementation measures in the industrial, commercial, and residential sectors. Meanwhile, energy performance is quantifiable in energy efficiency and energy consumption become one of scheme measure aspects. In this review, the ASEAN Energy Management Scheme (AEMAS) was discussed as a regionally structured training and certification system for ASEAN Energy Managers. Besides that, Energy Management Gold Standard (EMGS) is AEMAS's first regional achievement certification for global excellence in energy management systems. Previous literatures exposed the key to energy efficiency goals is behavioural change, which means individual attitudes affect energy consumption.

“…Consequently, there is a pressing need to help end-users change their consumption habits and promote more sustainable and environmentally friendly behaviors. To that end, RSs have been proposed as an effective solution to achieve the aforementioned goals [11]. For instance, Starke et al [12] introduce a Rasch-based energy RS that produces personalized and engaging energy recommendations for households' end-users.…”

Preserving energy in households and office buildings is a significant challenge, mainly due to the recent shortage of energy resources, the uprising of the current environmental problems, and the global lack of utilizing energy-saving technologies. Not to mention, within some regions, COVID-19 social distancing measures have led to a temporary transfer of energy demand from commercial and urban centers to residential areas, causing an increased use and higher charges, and in turn, creating economic impacts on customers. Therefore, the marketplace could benefit from developing an internet of things (IoT) ecosystem that monitors energy consumption habits and promptly recommends action to facilitate energy efficiency. This paper aims to present the full integration of a proposed energy efficiency framework into the Home-Assistant platform using an edge-based architecture. End-users can visualize their consumption patterns as well as ambient environmental data using the Home-Assistant user interface. More notably, explainable energysaving recommendations are delivered to end-users in the form of notifications via the mobile application to facilitate habit change. In this context, to the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first attempt to develop and implement an energy-saving recommender system on edge devices. Thus, ensuring better privacy preservation since data are processed locally on the edge, without the need to transmit them to remote servers, as is the case with cloudlet platforms.

“…Many researchers have discussed energy conservation practices and reduction strategies for carbon emission during the building lifecycle (Li et al 2020). Worldwide, to eradicate environmental issues and energy conservation in building projects, the adoption of energy management activities has become a significant factor for construction industries (Himeur et al 2021). The construction sector plays an imperative role in economic growth and helps reduce the unemployement gap (Qarnain et al 2021;Xia et al 2018).…”

Reducing energy usage and promoting energy management practices remain hot issues in the construction sector. Construction firms are not interested to adopt energy conservation and management practices in their projects. Despite the successful integration of energy management practices in developed nations, their adaptability in developing countries, especially in Pakistan, is at a slow pace. Therefore, drivers to energy management practices need to be realized for its adoption. Based on this, the current study intends to evaluate the drivers of energy management practices adopted in the construction sector of Pakistan by using a four-stage methodology. Fuzzy Delphi method (FDM), interpretive structural modeling (ISM), and Matrice d'Impacts Croises Multiplication Appliques a un Classement (MICMAC) analysis were integrated with prioritizing essential drivers. Increased tax imposition on construction companies for energy usage and pollution contribution, promotion of investment subsidies for energy efficiency technologies, and increased enforcement of government rules and regulations regarding on-site energy management practices arose as significant drivers to adoption of energy management practices in the construction sector of Pakistan. These results will be helpful for policymakers to develop effective policies for integrating energy management practices in the construction sector. This study contributes significantly by developing a novel model of drivers affecting EMP adoption in the Pakistani construction sector. Further research might be expanded to other developing countries to validate current results.
