GEBEM – Um Componente FIWARE para Gerenciamento de Energia em Prédios Inteligentes

Abstract

In recent years, the demand for energy has grown rapidly, increasing the discrepancy with respect to its supply. Consequently, it has become imperative seeking for more efficient ways of using and managing the available energy. In this context, this report introduces GEBEM (Generic Enabler for Building Energy Management), a system that allows accounting and keeping the historical usage of electricity in smart buildings, thereby contributing to its better use and management. GEBEM was developed upon components of FIWARE, an open, generic, extensible platform mainly targeted to support smart city applications. For validation purposes, GEBEM was integrated with Smart Place, an application for the energy management of lighting and air conditioning in intelligent buildings.
