ACM BuildSyS 2009, "The First ACM Workshop on Embedded Sensing Systems
For Energy-Efficiency In Buildings".
Sensing, monitoring and actuating systems are expected to play a key
role in reducing buildings overall energy consumption. Leveraging sensor
systems to support energy efficiency in buildings poses novel research
challenges in monitoring how the space is used, controlling devices,
interfacing with smart energy meters and communicating
with the energy grid. This includes developing energy efficient
algorithms of control systems, integrating heterogeneous devices,
personalizing and presenting data to generate energy awareness. These
challenges include making sensed data available to any connected device,
facilitating reasoning from multiple sources of data achieving global
energy conservation over a combination of different systems, and
devising control systems that support a multitude of network actuators.
We solicit contributions that focus on the design of architectures that
are capable of improving the global energy efficiency of buildings
leveraging connected sensing systems, networks, and devices. Of
particular interest is also the application of sensing and actuation
technologies to distributed energy generation systems, i.e., systems to
generate energy from federated small energy sources such as microgrids
and local green energy sources. Successful papers will demonstrate how
much energy is reduced by the authors' contribution, either through
real-world results or credible simulation and analysis. We expect
concise papers (max. 6 pages) presenting results from field trials,
theoretical and practical issues of improving energy-efficiency in
buildings by using embedded sensing systems written from both an
academic and an industrial perspective.
