Abstract
Cities are increasingly recognized for their ability to play a catalytic role in addressing climate and energy chal- lenges using technologically innovative approaches. Since en- ergy used in urban areas accounts for about 40% of total EU energy consumption, a change of direction towards re- newable energy is necessary in order to alleviate the usage of carbonized electricity and also to save money. A combina- tion of IT and telecommunication technologies is necessary to enable the energy and resources saving. ICT based so- lutions can be used to enable energy and money saving not only for a single building, but for the whole community of a neighborhood. In this paper a model for the energy cost minimization of a neighborhood together with an agent-based interaction model that reproduces the proposed formal rep- resentation is presented. Furthermore the authors present a prototype implementation of this model and first experimen- tal tests.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
