Conclusions
The article describes the development, testing and optimization phases of an integrated tools for the energy diagnosis of buildings aimed at the identification of anomalous energy behavior, possible causes and optimal management of the energy flows as a function of the thermal comfort requirements. The process required the design of the hardware (sensors, transmission infrastructure and data processing) and software components (diagnosis and control methodologies), the testing and optimization through the application in real conditions. From the diagnosis point of view, in the stricter sense, the use of the ES as an indicator of the energy behavior of building presents a number of significant advantages, consisting of: more complete analysis than the methods related to only monitoring of consumption, analytical assessment, expenditure of resources. The method allows to detect anomalies and above normal consumption and to identify the possible causes. Starting from the punctual indices provided by the method of analysis a benchmarking phase was defined allowing the correlation of the assumed values by each indicator with possible anomalies and corrective solutions. Finally, the definition of a control system allowed to define control logics for the optimization of the energy consumption of building to reach the desired levels of thermal comfort.
