Abstract
Energy efficiency of buildings may be improved using
information provided by smart meters. They enable new
services aiming at making the end-user aware of its
energy consumption. Our vision is a neighbourhood of
independent but co-operating buildings, with common aim
to maximise their energy efficiency. Smart meters are the
link between the buildings and the Neighbourhood
Management System (NMS) which will control the community.
The NMS will analyse the measurements, loads and
available power in buildings and use simulation to
forecast their behaviour to provide e.g. failure
detection and load management.
In this context a new concept has been developed. The
concept illustrates an intelligent use of building energy
information through a contest between several office
buildings within a company. The idea is to combine both
energy awareness and energy information benchmarking to
create an incentive scheme for energy reduction in a
tertiary environment.
