The energy and environmental impact of universities could be considerably reduced by applying organizational, technological and energy optimization measures. The aim of the present paper is to present an efficient web based energy management system for Campuses which manages in an energy efficient way the Campus buildings and spaces of public use, monitors the energy load and performs energy analysis per building and for the Campus as a whole, as well as it interacts with each building's BEMS and each user through questionnaires, e-mails and forms. The existing Campus IP infrastructure is exploited by using sensor networks, where nodes communicate their information using Web services, allowing direct integration in modern IT systems. To guarantee the system scalability and respect consolidated and diffused standards, the logical/architectural level of the whole Campus Energy Management System is linked with the existing infrastructure based on Internet Protocol (IP). The overall installation is tested via on line questionnaires to the building users showing a significant increase of the occupants' satisfaction. Finally, the energy efficiency achieved by the proposed system is almost 20%.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Energy and Buildings123119-135 Kolokotsa Dionysia Κολοκοτσα Διονυσια Gobakis Konstantinos Γομπακης Κωνσταντινος Papantoniou Sotirios Παπαντωνιου Σωτηριος Georgatou Christina Γεωργατου Χριστινα Kampelis Nikolaos Καμπελης Νικολαος Kalaitzakis Konstantinos Καλαϊτζακης Κωνσταντινος Vasilakopoulou Konstantina Βασιλακοπουλου Κωνσταντινα Santamouris, Matheos Elsevier Energy efficiency Indoor outdoor modelling IT infrastructure Prediction of energy loads University campus
