A Scalable and User-Friendly Framework Integrating IoT and Digital Twins for Home Energy Management Systems
Artikel i vetenskaplig tidskrift, 2024

The rise in electricity costs for households over the past year has driven significant changes in energy usage patterns, with many residents adopting smarter energy-efficient practices, such as improved indoor insulation and advanced home energy management systems powered by IoT and Digital Twin technologies. These measures not only mitigate rising bills but also ensure optimized thermal comfort and sustainability in typical residential settings. This paper proposes an innovative framework to facilitate the adoption of energy-efficient practices in households by leveraging the integration of Internet of Things technologies with Digital Twins. It introduces a novel approach that exploits standardized parametric 3D models, enabling the efficient simulation and optimization of home energy systems. This design significantly reduces deployment complexity, enhances scalability, and empowers users with real-time insights into energy consumption, indoor conditions, and actionable strategies for sustainable energy management. The results showcase that the proposed method significantly outperforms traditional approaches, achieving a 94% reduction in deployment time and a 98% decrease in memory usage through the use of standardized parametric models and plug-and-play IoT integration.
