ENERCARE

Abstract

Households, factories, office buildings and communities can reduce their energy consumption, while maintaining the same level of activity and comfort, by identifying and avoiding unnecessary energy waste. Governments around the world are taking initiatives in this direction and also international coordinated initiatives such as the future ISO 50001.

To support these plans, the general goal of ENERCARE project is to design a new open information platform built on customizable, adaptive and open service-oriented architecture, providing connectivity to the energy grids and information to the users.

ENERCARE will provide an innovative platform for the development of a key piece in a new generation suite of Smart Grid products. Through the spread of services on energy management, will encourage more energy conservation at demand side and will contribute to the achievement of lowcarbon society to come.

ENERCARE will work to increase the social awareness of the citizens in saving energy and the improvement in new and more efficient habits triggered by IT solutions.
