Abstract
This paper describes the development and implementation of an electronic
platform for energy management in public buildings. The developed
platform prototype is based on the installation of a network of wireless
sensors using the emerging Long Range (LoRa) low power long-range
wireless network technology. This network is used to collect sensor
data, which is stored online and manipulated to extract knowledge and
generate actions toward energy saving solutions. In this process,
gamification approaches were used to motivate changes in the users’
behavior towards more sustainable actions in public buildings. These
actions and the associated processes can be implemented as public
services, and they can be replicated to different public buildings,
contributing to a more energy-sustainable world. The developed platform
allows the monitoring and management of the heating/cooling, electric
power consumption, and lighting levels. In order to validate the
proposed electronic platform, sensor information was collected in the
context of a university campus, which was used as an application
scenario in public buildings.
