Research reaching practice
Professor Amir’s smart-home research informs a European Commission assessment of practical barriers to building-energy monitoring, including interoperability, costs and data management.
How the research was used
The Joint Research Centre report draws on the team’s smart-home research to explain challenges in connecting monitoring systems, meeting initial costs and managing large volumes of metering data. The research contributes to its assessment of technologies relevant to building renovation.
The documented contribution
The documented contribution is technical evidence within the report, rather than authorship of its retrofit method or proof of regulatory implementation.
