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

牛津大学的研究人员开发了一个原型软件应用程序，供企业使用，以衡量，基准和目标，他们的建筑能源使用和碳排放。专为中小型企业（SME）设计的软件为他们提供了复杂的反馈，使他们能够评估建筑物的能源性能，并在优先考虑节能投资方面做出明智的决定。该软件不要求用户事先具备任何建筑能源管理的技术知识。此外，成功采用该软件将产生非住宅建筑物能源使用的大规模数据集，用于主要建筑物能源研究。我们对NERC后续基金的申请是为了确定将这种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.
