The World is increasingly experiencing a strong need for energy
consumption reduction and a need for efficient use of scarce natural
resources. Official studies report that buildings account for the
largest portion of World's energy expenditure and have the fastest
growth rate. Clearly, energy saving strategies that target energy use in
buildings and surroundings can have a major impact worldwide, driving
the current energy market toward self-sufficiency and
self-sustainability. This calls for effective techniques and methods
that enable accurate carbon foot printing, monitoring and control of
appliance activity, energy auditing and management in buildings and
surroundings and the generation of energy awareness.
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) plays a key role in enabling
energy-saving systems in buildings and surrounding spaces by providing a
reliable, cost-effective and extensible solution that can be placed in
existing as well as new structures and be controlled via the Internet.
In fact, WSNs allow the monitoring of the energy consumption in
near-real time and, as such, they are an essential tool in the control
loop that will be used in future structures for the generation and usage
of diverse types of energy.
Following the success of the past edition of the workshop, BuildSys 2010
focuses on the intersection between WSNs and energy in buildings by
merging experts in the WSN domain and experts in the Building/Energy
community in order to identify innovative solutions which achieve the
broad goal of energy-reduction.
The workshop welcomes sensor network-based techniques and applications
that can clearly demonstrate how to:
* Increase energy awareness and reduce consumption by leveraging on
sensing systems/social networking/mobile phones, novel visualization and
other forms of media to convey relevant information to users;
* Systems that can influence a change of building occupant behaviour
towards a more parsimonious usage of electricity, gas, heating, water, etc.;
* Monitor and actuate appliances in residential and industrial
settings (e.g. data centres, HVAC, etc.)
* Monitor and control of alternative energy sources aiming at an
increase of production efficacy;
* Model and simulate heating cooling lighting, ventilation, water
usage and other energy flows in buildings and surrounding spaces through
the combination of real data from sensors and popular energy simulation
tools such as Energy Plus and TrnSys;
* Create innovative tools to model and visualize energy expenditure
and production (from, e.g., solar panels, wind turbines);
* Integrate sensor-based systems to improve grid operation and
energy distribution (electricity, gas, water);
Particular emphasis will also be given to:
* Real evaluation of energy-saving techniques and case studies that
demonstrate a decrease of energy expenditure in real scenarios;
* Design of innovative architectures that are capable of reducing
energy consumption and improve energy use efficiency;
* Accurate case studies and issues experienced current energy
systems and how sensor networks can improve the state of the art in
building energy management;
* Sensor systems for the identification of appliances in industrial
and home environments, which can be used to estimate the energy
usage/production model and to predict future demands;
* Innovative Sensor Network-assisted building monitoring systems (BMS);
* Integration of WSNs and wired sensor systems (e.g., Powerline,
exing BMS) for the energy management in buildings.
