“…(8) Based on mains supply as main power source tradition, the majority of research studies on HEMSs still focus on the monitoring and/or management of domestic appliance energy use, which aims to schedule the operation of appliances. (9)(10)(11) At the level of practical applications, according to NRGExpert (2011), HEMSs are still at a very early stage in terms of development and applications.…”

In this study, we propose the use of a home energy aware system (HEAS) and an intuitive user interface to help household occupants to be aware of the states of different types of power generation and unconsciously improve their electrical use behavior, and thereby achieve the goal of reducing mains electricity consumption. Because of the application of a smart grid and a smart meter infrastructure, smart homes can use various energy management approaches, such as alternative energy, energy storage, and mains electricity. This system employs the National Instruments data acquisition (NI DAQ) energy data retrieval system and LabVIEW software as core programming technologies, providing four power usage reminders: alternative energy use reminder, stored energy power use reminder, insufficient stored energy warning, and mains electricity use reminder.

“…However, to the authors' knowledge, none of the existing initiatives on life cycle analysis address individual systems for managing buildings' energy consumption. Only van Dam et al [4] explored the effectiveness of home energy management systems taking into account not only the energy savings provided by the system but also the energy needed for its production, use and disposal. Energy management systems have been proved to provide considerable benefits in terms of net energy savings [4] but the full range of environmental impacts related to the whole life cycle of intelligent management systems has not been investigated till now.…”
