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.
