enCOMPASS
enCOMPASS developed an open, extensible, process-based, cloud-enabled platform for energy saving and behaviour change applications, which exploits data sensing from different sources, social computation interfaces, visualization and gamification techniques, context detection, personalized collaborative recommenders, behaviour change apps, and open interfaces. This architecture was deployed in a cloud infrastructure to allow easy application development by third parties following Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS) models. This simplified development and testing, automating deployment to a hosted runtime environment, and facilitates providing new services on top of enCOMPASS.
The enCOMPASS H2020 project implemented and validated an integrated socio-technical approach to behavioural change for energy saving, by developing innovative user-friendly digital tools to make energy consumption data available and understandable for different stakeholders (residents, visitors, public actors, building managers, utilities and ICT-providers) so to empower them to achieve energy savings and manage their needs in energy efficient, cost-effective and comfortable ways. To this end, enCOMPASS integrated visualisation of energy data collected from smart sensors, user-generated information, and context-aware collaborative recommendations for energy saving, intelligent control, and adaptive gamified incentives.
