Data Storage Optimization for Energy Management in Intelligent Buildings

The main objective of the LIFE-OPERE project is the improvement of energy management in the facilities of the University of Santiago de Compo-stela (USC). Data analytics are applied to sensor data to check the impact of new policies in the energetic behavior of the facilities. To achieve this, system for the acquisition, management and publication of building sensor data was de-signed and implemented. The contribution of this paper is focused on the opti-mization of the data model that enables overcoming the main problems and fac-ing the main challenges that arose during the project. Besides, the applicability of big data technologies is also studied.
