Philosophy:
Energy saving is based heavily on the design and development of novel energy efficient solutions. Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and Internet of Things (IoT) could be instrumental in the use of abatement technologies that address energy consumption inefficiencies. On the one hand, integration with ICT technologies is one of the main drivers for the buildings’ industry to meet the 2050 long term goals for achieving the decarbonisation goal for the European economy. On the other hand,Internet of Things (IoT) can bring direct efficiency gains and can enable behavioural change based on measuring, monitoring, intelligent management and control of energy consumption data, as well as through providing reliable data to citizens, industries and governments about energy consumption / carbon emissions.

In order to exploit this potential, innovative solutions have to be implemented upon properly understanding the main energy consuming factors, as well as energy consuming trends, including the citizens’ behaviour with regards to energy efficiency. However, it should be noted that even with full-scale deployment of novel and energy efficient ICT solutions, without the right incentives or motivation to change, behaviour can be a major barrier to adoption. Thus, the deployment of energy efficient ICT solutions has to be accompanied with active engagement of the buildings’ occupants towards the goal to increase the overall environmental friendliness of the buildings. This can be achieved by increasing the overall awareness of consumers regarding the main causes of energy consumption, the impact on the environment, the potential for energy and cost savings, as well as providing the proper motives for changing their daily lifestyle in order to achieve better life quality.

This workshop aspires to be a forum of discussion between different stakeholders, researchers, industries etc., in order to present the most recent advances in the area of ICT- and IoT-based Energy Efficiency solutions. It will also promote the collaboration and mutual exchange of experiences between researchers. The presence of researchers from EU funded projects will be promoted although it is open to all kind of contributions.
