Energy Saving by Ambient Intelligence Techniques

Nowadays the problem of energy consumption is becoming a pressing problem. We present an innovative system named Elettra able to allow people to monitor and control energy consumption in one or more buildings. For improving Elettra we introduce different methods taken from ambient intelligence. Through these methods we can infer energy consumption, construct a plan for decreasing energy consumption, improve this plan and adopt it to the system. The implementation of these methods to Elettra helps its automation and increases its efficiency.
