Abstract: With increased availability of IoT and cloud computing platforms, data collection and monitoring capabilities in buildings have increased significantly. The prospect of accessing energy-related information from buildings in a large scale, enables viable solutions to problems that were known only in theory to have a significant impact on the preservation of energy resources. This talk will present the SATO project, an H2020 project recently funded by the European Commission, coordinated by FCUL. Additionally, open problems in the energy management of buildings will be described as well as possible contributions that data since may bring to solve these problems.
