Use case #3 Energy management in smart buildings/cities

Development and evaluation of NEPHELE technologies for intelligent monitoring and remote energy management in a Smart Building testbed scenario provided by OdinS in Murcia, Spain.

Demonstration

• Develop advanced applications and services using the VOStack. This will help to effectively manage building equipment control, prioritizing customized services for energy efficiency, user well-being, and comfort.
• Deploy a sophisticated automation scheme. This allows to collect real-time data from diverse range of IoT devices. These devices include appliances, sensors, and HVAC - heating, ventilation, and air conditioning - systems, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the building's operational status.
• Utilize Edge nodes to instantiate Virtual Objects. These nodes play a vital role in the instantiation of VOs, further enhancing the system’s capacity to process and respond to data in real-time.
• Distribute intelligence across Edge nodes. This will allow the system to operate more efficiently and responsively, avoiding bottlenecks.

• To develop applications to allow energy control actions of building equipment.
• To offer customized services to end-users to improve energy-efficient and well-being.
• To provide an automation scheme based on real-time information and video/image processing from different IoT devices and Edge nodes.
