“…According to Frederiks et al (2015), to improve the energy efficiency solution in existing buildings in planning stage, two major factors need to be considered, including public awareness and willingness to accept new technology used for a sustainable environment. Similarly, as highlighted by Krysiński et al (2017), low awareness and insufficient knowledge towards energy efficiency technology are due to complicated technical systems that to be installed on their own. Zou et al (2016) specified that retrofitting works are notably focusing on the various social aspects, specifically on public view and tenants' cooperation towards the building.…”

“…The user behavior attribute indicates that there are uncertainties in energy-saving, which require a comprehensive analysis regarding working operation hour, total building occupant as well as the other information related to knowledge in energy usage. According to Krysiński et al (2017), low awareness and insufficient knowledge towards energy efficiency technology are due to complicated technical systems that to be installed on their own. In the planning stage, the establishment of energy surveying information regarding building occupants would be advantageous to the design team to collect and analyses the pattern of energy consumption.…”

The energy demand growth every year for existing building due to the natural lifecycle of the building performance. Systematic strategy in retrofitting is proven to revamp the energy building performance. However, the retrofitting process is facing several of unknown risk as early in pre-construction stage to achieve optimum energy efficiency design strategy. The risk requires strategic assessment to minimize the impact towards the efficiency level in retrofitting. This study aims to examine the risks and the potential impact towards design strategies by conducting a semi-structured interview from six internal stakeholders in the retrofit project. The result derived from the interview revealed that there are 13 of major risks involve in retrofit project and divided into planning stage and design stage. All the risks are proven to provide a potential impact towards energy efficiency design strategies.

“…Social acceptance: in this case, ratings related to users' awareness and social acceptance of the energy saving measures established by a specific energy efficiency solution are measured. The feedback is then transmitted to these users in order to motivate them in developing more sustainable actions [128].…”

Recently, tremendous interest has been devoted to develop data fusion strategies for energy efficiency in buildings, where various kinds of information can be processed. However, applying the appropriate data fusion strategy to design an efficient energy efficiency system is not straightforward; it requires a priori knowledge of existing fusion strategies, their applications and their properties. To this regard, seeking to provide the energy research community with a better understanding of data fusion strategies in building energy saving systems, their principles, advantages, and potential applications, this paper proposes an extensive survey of existing data fusion mechanisms deployed to reduce excessive consumption and promote sustainability. We investigate their conceptualizations, advantages, challenges and drawbacks, as well as performing a taxonomy of existing data fusion strategies and other contributing factors. Following, a comprehensive comparison of the state-of-theart data fusion based energy efficiency frameworks is conducted using various parameters, including data fusion level, data fusion techniques, behavioral change influencer, behavioral change incentive, recorded data, platform architecture, IoT technology and application scenario. Moreover, a novel method for electrical appliance identification is proposed based on the fusion of 2D local texture descriptors, where 1D power signals are transformed into 2D space and treated as images. The empirical evaluation, conducted on three real datasets, shows promising performance, in which up to 99.68% accuracy and 99.52% F1 score have been attained. In addition, various open research challenges and future orientations to improve data fusion based energy efficiency ecosystems are explored.Keywords Data fusion • energy efficiency • sensors • appliance identification • fusion of 2D descriptors • machine learning.

“…Active leadership is needed and positive results of neighbouring apartment associations who have passed the energy efficiency refurbishment can serve as an example to spread the relevant message. According to the Swedish experience, sufficient communication and pilot projects are good means to overcome residents' concerns (Krysiński et al 2017). In Sweden, information and opportunities for energy efficiency improvements are actively distributed through municipal climate and energy advisors and the Swedish Energy Agency (Korsbakken & Aamaas, 2016).…”
