The project has two goals through which energy savings will be achieved. On one hand, the goal is to create Intelligent Energy Management Systems (IEMS) in which energy consumption data regarding the buildings will be collected, analysed and aggregated using artificial intelligence methodologies to recognize and classify activity patterns of the users and correlate them with energy consumption patterns and exogenous conditions as a way to optimize energy usage while maintaining or increasing comfort levels to building users.
On the other hand, the goal is that the building users will be subject to Real Time Information on energy consumption and Decision Guidance to help them use energy efficiently, resulting in User Behaviour Transformation towards more energy-efficient behaviours.
The project is led by the Portuguese SME Alfamicro and piloted in four European University campuses (in Helsinki, Lisbon, Luleå and Milan) facing different climates and energy saving challenges. The building users in each pilot will be engaged to participate in the SMART CAMPUS project according to the Living Lab methodology leading to an involvement on the Co-design process of energy saving solutions and services with the users, making use of service design tools.

Cross-border pilots in four different countries were established and tested common methodologies and practices. The user-driven Living Lab methodology was implemented to achieve faster and more effective results.

A network of five public building pilots located in Helsinki, Leiden, Lisbon, Luleå and Manchester installed data collection systems and real-time energy displays to support behaviour change and determine best practice. The user-driven Living Lab methodology was implemented to achieve faster and more effective results. A generic process is presented which can be used as the basis of future energy behaviour transformation programmes.
