New technologies in energy management systems of buildings

Abstract

This paper provides an overview of trends in the application of digital technologies in the energy management system of commercial buildings. In recent years, energy management in buildings, based on digital technologies, has resulted in the reduction in energy consumption of up to 50%. The paper covers trends in the development and application of digital devices and software in various technological areas such as Internet of Things, Edge Computing, Cloud Computing, Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, and Blockchain. Based on the review of the results of the conducted experiments as well as the characteristics of the technologies themselves, automation has been defined as a cornerstone of maximization of energy savings and digital transformation of the energy management system in buildings.

A comprehensive review of Building Energy Management Systems (BEMS) for Improved Efficiency

“…BEMS integrated advanced technologies such as microprocessors, sensors, and communication networks to monitor and control a wide range of building systems, including heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC), lighting, and energy-consuming equipment (Barber & Krarti, 2022, Vahidinasab, et. al., 2021, Vučković & Pitić, 2022.…”

The Influence of Organizational Factors on the Adoption of Energy Efficiency Measures in Companies

“…Over the past two decades, significant advancements in digital technologies have contributed to improving energy efficiency in residential and commercial buildings and industrial processes. These technologies fall within the Internet of Things, Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, Edge Computing, Cloud Computing, and Blockchain (Vučković & Pitić, 2022). Energy-efficient technologies significantly promise to reduce financial costs and environmental damage associated with energy consumption.…”
