Abstract
Improving the energy efficiency of residential buildings can lead in reducing the energy consumption of cities. It is presented a prototype house that uses real time connectivity to enable effective energy management through the deployment of an optimization algorithm. Following the principles of the Web of Things, the devices of the house are mapped into a RESTful structure where the HTTP protocol is used for communication, and a risk-sensitive algorithm p-Sulu, based on Iterative Risk Allocation, is used for long-term energy optimization. The RESTful protocol makes the system compatible and scalable, able to expand at a neighborhood or a community scale.
