Intelligent Management Systems for Energy Efficiency in Buildings
2014
ACM Computing Surveys
The simplest approach to energy efficiency is to
AF
provide appropriate feedback to the users about energy consumptions so as to increase
their awareness and encourage eco-friendly behaviors. ...
Explicit feedback is obtained when a user voluntarily ties a judgement
to a given environmental condition, for instance by using an interface (e.g., a touchscreen)
installed in the monitored area. ...
