Energy wastage in several building uses, such as teaching auditoriums, working areas (offices, laboratories, computer rooms etc.) or living areas (dormitories), can be encountered. Furthermore, since the University campuses comprise of buildings covered with artificial surfaces with undesirable thermal effects, along with the possible overheating by human energy release and absorption of solar radiation on dark surfaces of buildings, create an urban – kind climate. The energy and environmental impact of universities could be considerably reduced by applying organizational, technological and energy optimization measures. To design and operate a sustainable campus, it is essential to take into account – among other – the real time interaction between the indoor and outdoor environment, using sensors and metering equipment, local and global control algorithms and actuators to control heating, cooling, ventilation, lighting, shading and other types of systems. In the present work, existing Information & Communication Technology (ICT) is exploited to create a micro-grid by integrating sensors, actuators, control algorithms etc., aiming at minimizing energy consumption of buildings and activities within the Campus. On this basis, the research project Camp-IT is expected to create new frontiers for research and development in energy management by considering the single building aspect as part of a “district” approach, where real time interaction of indoor and outdoor spaces is monitored and controlled. The aim of the Camp-IT project is to review the techniques of building modelling incorporating outdoor spaces as well as the control algorithms for energy load prediction, in order to develop, test and validate an integrated and holistic indoor - outdoor Web based Energy management System for Campuses. Preliminary results indicate a potential reduction of annual energy consumption of approximately 30% due to reduction of energy waste. As a result, this project will contribute to a future smart grid community by deploying and testing of a decision support tool and optimization method for a web based energy management system in real time conditions, taking into account indoor / outdoor environmental parameters and user preferenceshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Proc.
