Abstract
Building intelligence and, more recently, energy efficiency are key concepts to bear in mind when future smart spaces are considered. Common automation capabilities in the field of domotics only presented the first building blocks for the indoor spaces of the future. In this framework, energy consumption requires a special treatment, due to the strident environment preservation issues that the society is facing nowadays. For this reason, new solutions are needed to deal with the increasing power requirements of indoor spaces. In this line, an intelligent building platform which embraces not only well known automation necessities of indoor spaces, such as automatic lighting, security, remote access, etc., but also novel concepts in the fields of context-awareness, resident tracking and profiling, and net-zero/positive energy building are considered in a new proposal: the PLATERO platform. This chapter provides a detailed background on building automation/intelligence and energy efficiency and then details the novel architecture of PLATERO, its main elements and energy efficiency subsystems, and describes the different prototypes developed and deployed in a reference energy-efficiency building.
