Abstract

This paper presents an energy management system for Smart Buildings (SB) using Distributed Generation (DG). The proposal allows reducing the excessive energy consumption of lighting, air conditioning and computing systems at the campus of the administrative building at the University PUCESE. We employ a control system based on the raspberry microcomputer, which allows establishing the working conditions autonomously. The system defines a control algorithm based on different scenarios, where the energy rules for each of the building's services are determined. As a result, there is a 50 % reduction in energy consumption for each of the systems, evidencing a reduction in the energy bill and in the ecological footprint of the building.
