Building energy management. Implementation of a sophisticated web-based software tool.

牛津大学的研究人员开发了一款软件原型应用程序，供企业使用，以测量、基准和确定其建筑能源使用和碳排放的目标。该软件专为中小型企业设计，为他们提供复杂的反馈，使他们能够评估建筑物的能源表现，并作出明智的决定，优先考虑节能投资。该软件不需要用户有任何先前的建筑能源管理的技术知识。此外，该软件的成功应用将产生非住宅建筑能源使用的大规模数据集，用于初级建筑能源研究。我们对NERC后续基金的申请是为了确定将这一创新软件商业化的最佳途径。

Researchers at Oxford University have developed a prototype software application for use by businesses to measure, benchmark and target their building energy use and carbon emissions. The software designed for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) supplies them with sophisticated feedback so they can assess a building's energy performance and make informed decisions in prioritising energy saving investment. The software does not require users to have any prior technical knowledge of building energy management. In addition, successful uptake of the software will produce large scale datasets of energy use in non-domestic buildings for use in primary building energy research. Our application to the NERC follow-on fund is to identify the best routes for commercializing this innovative software.
