Abstract
Energy management is an essential economic factor in every country. The times when Europe had safe and cheap energetic resources are now gone. These days, all of European’s Union members are confronting with high challenges brought by climate changes, dependency of massive imports of energy and higher energy prices. On an international scale, the energetic efficiency of the buildings is possible through intelligent management of energy consumption. Present article will reveal a concept for an intelligent management system for energy consumption and adjustable user comfort.
