ITOBO: Information and Communication Technologyfor Sustainable and Optimised Building Operation
Abstract
The
construction sector in Ireland contributes more than 20% of the Irish GDP while
buildings account for approx. 40% of Ireland’s energy usage, contributing to
over 30% of CO2 emissions.
The goal is to improve asset management while supplementing efforts to fulfill
the Kyoto Protocol requirements.
Thus
ITOBO will...
enhance the management of large-scale,
complex networks, services, and mobile users through introducing new network
and management protocols
develop frameworks and algorithms to support
mixed-initiative configuration for energy efficient buildings
design a system architecture that will
support scale-free composition of service coalitions
support seamless end-to-end network
composition and service operation through sensor and RFID hardware with
dynamic features
Focus Areas
