Implementation of smart building management systems for residential complex “PANORAMA”

Abstract

The European Union (EU) and Ukraine, which is following a precise European integration course, have a priority to improve energy efficiency in order to prevent negative environmental impact and achieve climate neutrality. It is known that more than 40% of the energy produced is accounted for by energy consumption in existing buildings. Analysis of energy consumption reveals a high percentage of energy losses due to poor management, which necessitates the development and implementation of systems and tools for improved energy management. Therefore, the development of energy efficient building management systems using modern engineering and technical solutions to control and optimise energy consumption is a relevant and promising way to solve the issue of energy resources saving, increase energy efficiency and enhance energy independence. Within the framework of the international research grant “A novel decentralized edge-enabled PREsCriptivE and ProacTive framework for increased energy efficiency and well-being in residential buildings” – PRECEPT under the Horizon 2020 programme, smart building management system was developed and implemented at the residential complex “PANORAMA” in Dnipro city, Ukraine.
