FP7 SMARTCITIES- Objective ICT-2013.6.4 Optimising Energy Systems in Smart Cities
The overall vision of the project “OPTIMising the energy USe in cities with smart decision support systems (OPTIMUS)” is the design, development and implementation of a Decision Support System (DSS) addressed to city authorities, in order to assist them to optimize the energy use in their premises and reduce CO2 emissions.
OPTIMUS will provide an integrated ICT platform that will collect and structure open data from five domains (namely: weather conditions, social mining, buildings’ energy profiles, energy prices, energy production) and then it will use semantic technologies so as to integrate them and intelligent rules so as to propose energy optimization plans. The resulting web-based DSS will be validated in three different cities: Savona (Italy), Sant Cugat del Vallès (Spain) and Zaanstad (The Netherlands).
