BuildSyS 2009, "The First International 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. Successful papers will demonstrate how much energy is reduced by the authors' contribution, either through real-world results or credible simulation and analysis. In addition, showing how the technology can be integrated into smart grid architectures and an analysis of its performance would also be interesting. 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.
