An Energy Efficiency Marketplace for Buildings: The ENERGATE System Architecture.

Nowadays it becomes evident that there is a lack of Information Technology systems that decision making as the creation of financing schemes for the building sector. In this context an information system acting as a marketplace enables data driven components that will be exploited by end users to perform bids and offers for building investments. This work focuses on the functional description of the EU-funded project ENERGATE marketplace for energy efficiency investments. ENERGATE System Architecture fosters data sharing, interoperability and the integration of data driven techniques, underlying the design principles to be followed having alignment with existing EU standards and protocols.
