Demand Side Management (DSM) programmes promote energy flexibility, cost reduction and resilience in both grids and buildings, which can be supported by integrating Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Building Automation System (BAS). Despite recent advances in the field, research to date remains limited in defining data requirement structures...

The EU strategies to reduce carbon emissions highlight the importance of renovating the existing building stock. It is one of the most contributing sectors to these undesired emissions to the atmosphere. The business-as-usual practices to design energy efficient retrofitting projects are still too time consuming and unprecise, and their supporting...

The design of district Energy-efficient Retrofitting Projects is a major challenge if solid and proved solutions want to be implemented. From the establishment of the criteria to the calculation of indicators, there is a plethora of aspects to be considered to select the optimal solution. This paper presents OptEEmAL, a solution as a decision-suppo...

This document describes the validation activities of the OptEEmAL platform but in this case towards the achievement of a TRL7, that is, demonstration of the OptEEmAL platform in operational environments. With this aim three demonstration sites with different "district profile" are considered with a twofold objective: Demonstrate that the prototype...

The document describes the validation activities of the OptEEmAL platform at TRL6 “Platform prototype demonstration in relevant environment” and the associated results. The methodology implemented has consisted in applying the platform on already performed district retrofitting projects and comparing the obtained results with the results available...

This paper presents interim results of the currently ongoing Building as a Service (BaaS) EU project. The BaaS project aims at optimising energy performance of non-residential buildings, e.g. schools, universities, hotels, shopping centres, or sports facilities. An ICT platform is being developed that integrates IT systems that already exist in inf...

The way in which document collections are generated, modified or updated generates problems and mistakes in the information coherency, leading to legal, economic and social problems. To tackle this situation, this paper proposes the development of an intelligent virtual domain expert, based on summarization, matching and neuro-fuzzy systems, able t...

This paper is focused on the problems and effects generated by the use of a document corpus with mistakes, content incoherences amongst its connected documents and other errors. The problem introduced in this paper is very relevant in any area of human activity when this corpus is used as base element in the relationships between company partners,...

This paper presents a free Critical Care Information System (CCIS) that shows an essential infrastructure for critical care medical and nursing practice. Specifically, a Patient Integral Analysis Aid System (SAIP) in Intensive Care Units (ICU) has been developed to cover the needs discovered in these scenarios. An important part of this system is r...

CARTIF ha desarrollado el SiLGeM (Sistema Libre de Gestión Multibus), un sistema tanto hardware como software para el control y gestión simultánea de un sistema multibus de forma no centralizada, bajo el paradigma del software libre, donde cada uno de los buses del sistema pueden ser iguales o diferentes, siendo considerados hasta el momento dos es...
