“…Moreover, an additional system named Energy Management System (EMS) includes tasks partially in common with the FMS and the BMS. In particular, the EMS involves strategies and methods aiming at the building performance, efficiency and energy utilization improvement (Bonilla et al, 2018). This sub-system is focused on key energy management tasks like the demand-response strategies, energy costs prediction, energy use anomalies detection, and management of energy use information (Mariano-Hernández et al, 2020).…”

In this paper an insight on innovative implementation strategies and operative Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) regarding Intelligent Buildings (IBs) is provided. Data-driven knowledge extraction and re-usage can be a valid source of information to study the whole building life-cycle as a process to optimize. Today, new challenges can be provided thanks to ICT and Internet of Things (IoT) paradigms that allow big data to be stored, processed and analysed. This approach is still not deeply applied in construction engineering fields. In order to analyse the related literature, first a framework to describe the IB technological environment is proposed. Second, the literature is reviewed according to this framework and focusing on ICT tools and implementation aspects for the whole building life-cycle. To the best of our knowledge, there isn't yet a survey focusing on innovative operative tools adopted in the development of the ICT technological layer of IB. The reviewed literature is discussed by identifying implemented technologies and related ICT tools and classifying applications in building life-cycle. Finally, critical aspects are singled out and opportunities for future developments in the field of IBs are outlined.

“…The integration of this student squad with teachers, researchers and experts working as guides is fundamental for the soundness of a strong energy culture. On the other hand, it is advisable to organise meetings between students and the developers of the recent Virtual Energy Management System (Bonilla, Samaniego, Ramos, & Campbell, 2018) so that the former can have a clearer idea of the measurement and monitoring of electrical energy in a university building. Just as it is possible to monitor electrical parameters, carbon footprint and electricity cost, it is also advisable to monitor the three-layer KM Model presented in this research to contribute to the maturity of the higher education institutions that use it (Moller, Berkes, Lyver, & Kislalioglu, 2004).…”

This document presents a Knowledge Management (KM) model aimed at promoting a strong energy culture regarding Saving and Efficient Use of Energy (SEUE) in higher education students. A survey was carried out and the analysis revealed a significant association between the study subjects' prior tacit knowledge about SEUE and their KM situation and attitudes about it. We have also used factor analysis as a statistic technique to extract latent variables from the ones already existing. The findings suggest the design and use of didactic materials and educational strategies that promote training and development practices in the context of an effective and transparent knowledge transfer process, as well as individual practices in the change of energy use behaviour. The educational strategies must prevent previously inherited beliefs from distorting the new necessary knowledge, i.e., the tacit knowledge higher education students must acquire, assimilate and disseminate to strengthen a culture of SEUE.

“…These systems are extremely complex, often very heavily dispersed, as well as diversified in terms of technical and ownership compatibility. As a result, technical analysis and operational optimisation, in order to reduce energy / utilities consumption (including transmission losses), is a very serious challenge and should be implemented based on exploitation data from measuring devices located in key places of these systems and most of all, at the receiving ends of energy, heat and utilities [3,7,8]. However, it should be emphasised that in addition to the collection and archiving of measurement data and their automatic (intelligent) analysis, modern energy systems functioning under the label Smart Energy City should be able to adapt to recommendations based on conclusions from the implemented analytical algorithms [1,2,6].…”

Buildings in Poland are very energy-consuming, especially during their exploitation. As a result, there is a need for establishing new systems and technologies which could increase energy efficiency in this sector. One of the most important reasons is the lack of technologies and systems dedicated to managing energy and utilities for buildings or building compounds in urban areas. Wide implementation of these kinds of systems, which will operate based on measured on-line data, will ensure a decrease in energy and utilities consumption. At the beginning of the paper, some basic demands of exploitation data acquisition systems are described. The specifics of energy and utilities consumption data are presented. In the main body of the paper, a conception of an innovative system for the acquisition and analysis of energy and utilities consumption data dedicated for buildings is presented, which makes it possible to decrease heat, energy and utilities consumption in urban areas. Some basic systemic assumptions are presented and fundamental technical aspects are described. In addition, the essential assumptions of data analysis algorithms are described in the article.
