Abstract

Nowadays, taking into consideration the prevailing situation of price fluctuations, the rapid population increase and the technology’s evolution, the energy efficiency unexploited potential is considered to be extremely significant as a means of partly tackling energy dependence and climate change. This potential can be utilised through the provision of energy services, with the support of intelligent information systems. In particular, up to date several researchers, have proposed energy management tools and methodologies that provide specialized energy management services. However, the majority of the known energy tools are limited to a single equipment type, fuel, or locality. The present paper introduces an intelligent information decision support system, addressed to Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) for assessing an operational unit’s (building or industrial sector) energy behaviour and suggesting the appropriate interventions. Its overall scope is to facilitate the ESCO in reaching a decision quickly and accurately, by simulating the whole unit’s energy behaviour.
