Beschreibung

Energy prices are rising, as is the overall awareness for environmental sustainability. However, significant energy saving potentials in home heating are left unused by today's heating control systems. "Smart", adaptive techniques can tap into these saving potentials.

Our project aims to develop an adaptive energy control software (e.g. for heating and electric devices) with an accompanying smartphone user interface, in order to exploit both these saving potentials. We first try to predict the user's thermal demands, thus reducing the need for (potentially costly) user interaction. This prediction, in turn, allows us to prearrange future energy consuming periods in an energy-efficient way. The controller is intended to be used via a smartphone user interface, designed, among other objectives, to steer users towards energy-saving settings.

Further goals of this project are the connection of the user interface and the adaptive controller to a back end server, in order to arrive at a fully testable prototype.
