Data Collection, Analysis and Optimization in Prosumer Buildings: A Case Study with An Open Dataset

The integration of renewable energy sources and advanced technologies has led to the emergence of prosumer buildings, where occupants are both producers and consumers of energy. This paradigm shift offers unique opportunities to optimize energy use, improve grid stability and promote sustainability. A critical aspect of realizing these benefits is the effective collection and analysis of data generated within these buildings. This paper explores the methods and challenges associated with collecting and interpreting data in prosumer buildings, and discusses the potential of this data to inform decision-making and drive future innovation.
