Domestic space heating energy control via Smart Home Energy Management

The Smart Home Energy Management System (SHEMS) is considered as an effective way to reduce energy consumption in the home environment without compromising household´s comfort. Despite of the promising potential, it still lacks of convincing evidences to prove the effectiveness of such kind of home automation system. This paper reports a field trial study to reduce the energy wastage in space heating via a SHEMS. The trial result shows the achieved sustainable energy wastage reduction.
