An IMPReSS prototype system was developed, deployed and used in different application scenarios for different purposes, such as assessment, demonstrations, troubleshooting, and performance analysis.
The main achievement
demonstrated with the IMPReSS SDP is a portfolio of applications
for decreasing the complexity and cost of collecting massive
amount of energy related data in buildings as well as raising
user awareness about energy consumption and efficiency. The IMPReSS
SDP allows developers to create and experiment with new
smart energy management services and use IoT enablers to fuse
physical data to appropriate data analysis and control systems. The
key functionalities provided by the IMPReSS Middleware are implemented
by four main components, dealing with data, context,
resource, and communication management.
