“…Similarly, [12] monitored heat consumptions in 49 schools for identifying main necessary renovation measures. In the work of [13], a monitoring network has been installed in a university and electric consumption data have been gathered at for the different zones; they demonstrated that the disaggregated level of data allows finding the most energy intensive areas and that contributes to consumption reduction strategies. Yang et al [14], estimated the impacts of thermal consumptions on the environment by monitoring the thermal comfort of buildings using PMV and PPD methods.…”

Urban areas have become energy intensive hubs that need of solutions for significantly reduce carbon emission in the next decades. For that reason, the exploration of different energy conservation measures alternatives is crucial for meeting the desired environmental goals. In such contest, the paper proposes a procedure, based on real-time monitored data, for characterizing the thermal and electric consumption of urban public buildings (schools, offices, etc.). The paper aims at providing rich information about the building performances and occupation schedules for finding opportunities for better control/regulation/energy service contracts strategies for operating public buildings. The procedure is applied to case study buildings in Rivalta di Torino and demonstrates that most of buildings can really benefit from this analysis leading to a more comfortable work environment and contemporary reducing their energy consumption at an affordable cost.

“…Furthermore, users tend to accept new technology that is easy to handle and maintained [35,106]. Such results come in parallel with the concept introduced by [88], which focused on the role of innovativeness as an intrinsic factor that influences the eventual utility of a system. Hypothesis 5, representing the relationship between perceived ease of use (PEU) on perceived usefulness (PU), is supported (t-statistic = 2.841; p-value < 0.01).…”

“…Furthermore, it has been found that the role of innovativeness entices consumers to have more intrinsic utilities for utilizing such a system [87]. It is, furthermore, imperative to note that the innovativeness serves as the central element in the concept of diffusion of innovation theory, which mainly relates to the tendency of adopting innovations [88]. Thus, the following hypothesis can be made:…”

“…A widely accepted notion presents that for users to be more motivated to adopt a technology, they should perceive such technology not to be complicated for them to find it more useful and easier to use [86,88]. In a particular case of the probable continuance intention of using e-government, both perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use have been theorized as primary constructs to determine the adoption of e-government [89].…”

To promote efficient use of electrical energy, technology-based solutions, along with their corresponding user acceptance assessments, have been seen to facilitate goal fulfillment concerning desired functionality and expected benefits, in an open innovation fashion. This paper simultaneously develops an electrical energy consumption monitoring system (EECMS) device that shall monitor and control the use of energy in real-time and assesses its acceptability to users according to the extended technology acceptance model (TAM) approach. This proposed EECMS device is tested in an academic institution in the Philippines, and it is found that the device can function as desired as well as render a significant favor from its users according to additional key constructs. As such, future developments of the device are encouraged to enhance key constructs identified as suitable for future adoption.

“…It is evident that energy monitoring systems are important for energy awareness (e.g., in manufacturing companies [5], schools [6], households [7,8], universities [9], etc.). Studies have shown that by simply monitoring one's energy consumption, the savings on the electric bills can be 5 to 15 %.…”

Background: Reducing energy consumption and CO2 emissions in order to address climate change requires behavioral changes by the citizens, who will have to adopt more environmentally friendly and energy-saving practices. Methods: We present a system and corresponding practices for gathering energy consumption data from public school buildings over the Internet, processing them to identify hidden correlations and produce actionable advice and presenting the results in real-time to its occupants over the Web. We describe the metering infrastructure installed at schools for energy consumption monitoring and the related actions carried out in order to motivate local school communities towards an environmentally friendly behavior. The introduction of IPv6 was found to be a key enabling technology for setting up such a system in a simple, secure, and efficient way. Results: The proposed system and processes are put under test in a pilot installation composed of about 50 IPv6-enabled schools of the Greek School Network (GSN). These are also combined with appropriate educational and social engagement tools. In this way, energy consumption, operating costs, and greenhouse effects can be reduced in the area of educational and public administration buildings in general. Thus, people become almost instantly aware of the energy and environmental implications of their actions, which motivates them towards behavioral changes and the adoption of environmentally friendly practices. Conclusions: The pilot provides a good example of collaboration between the ICT sector, the smart building and automation vendors, and the public authorities.
