“…In the energy sector, BLE is widely used on the energy consumption in residential and commercial buildings. For instance, the authors of [65] describe a smart office energy management system that reduces the energy consumption of PCs, monitors, and lights using BLE. Another study proposes an energy management system for smart homes that utilizes BLE for communication among home appliances aiming at decreasing the energy at homes [66].…”

Integration of renewable energy and optimization of energy use are key enablers of sustainable energy transitions and mitigating climate change. Modern technologies such the Internet of Things (IoT) offer a wide number of applications in the energy sector, i.e, in energy supply, transmission and distribution, and demand. IoT can be employed for improving energy efficiency, increasing the share of renewable energy, and reducing environmental impacts of the energy use. This paper reviews the existing literature on the application of IoT in in energy systems, in general, and in the context of smart grids particularly. Furthermore, we discuss enabling technologies of IoT, including cloud computing and different platforms for data analysis. Furthermore, we review challenges of deploying IoT in the energy sector, including privacy and security, with some solutions to these challenges such as blockchain technology. This survey provides energy policy-makers, energy economists, and managers with an overview of the role of IoT in optimization of energy systems.

“…They have evaluated their system by predicting whether a user was inside or outside of a single room. The authors in [9] have evaluated a system for determining the movements of office occupants and controlling a building management system. They have used an office area to evaluate their BLE based system and although they present building energy consumption results, there is no evaluation of the mobile application's energy consumption.…”

Abstract-A reliable estimation of an area's occupancy can be beneficial to a large variety of applications, and especially in relation to emergency management. For example, it can help detect areas of priority and assign emergency personnel in an efficient manner. However, occupancy detection can be a major challenge in indoor environments. A recent technology that can prove very useful in that respect is Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), which is able to provide the location of a user using information from beacons installed in a building. Here, we evaluate BLE as the primary means of occupancy estimation in an indoor environment, using a prototype system composed of BLE beacons, a mobile application and a server. We employ three machine learning approaches (k-nearest neighbours, logistic regression and support vector machines) to determine the presence of occupants inside specific areas of an office space and we evaluate our approach in two independent experimental settings. Our experimental results indicate that combining BLE with machine learning is certainly promising as the basis for occupancy estimation.

“…Education [1], healthcare [2], tourism [3], transportation [4] and smart building sectors are only few of the examples where this technology has been applied. Especially in a building context, the knowledge of locations is beneficial for emergency management [5], [6], [7] and building energy management [8]. The beacons, however, base their operation on the broadcast of advertisement packets which results in security vulnerabilities.…”

Abstract-Occupancy detection of a building has a wide range of applications. Areas such as emergency management, home automation and building energy management can benefit from the knowledge of occupants' locations to provide better results and improve their efficiency. Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons installed inside a building are able to provide information on an occupant's location. Since, however, their operation is based on broadcasting advertisements, they are vulnerable to network security breaches. In this work, we evaluate the effect of two types of spoofing attacks on a BLE based occupancy detection system. The system is composed of BLE beacons installed inside the building, a mobile application installed on occupants mobile phones and a remote control server. Occupancy detection is performed by a classifier installed on the remote server. We use our real-world experimental results to evaluate the impact of these attacks on the system's operation, particularly in terms of the accuracy with which it can provide location information.
