WP7- Pilot Case 3

(Benchmarking In Lighting

Products)

Expected Outputs & Results

• 1. To measure lighting energy consumption as it stands in a Universityenvironment. The production of a set of consumer utility models is the coreof this objective, as measurements for different hours of the day and fordifferent types of activities characteristic only in a university environmentwill provide the Cassandra platform with the diverse in nature scenarioresults required to enhance its effectiveness and efficiency.

• 2. Identify parameters that decrease energy consumption withoutsignificant reduction of consumer comfort/utility. The Evaluation of lightingdesign according to standards and for different lighting products, underboth user free-of-restrictions actions scenarios and under user imposedactions scenarios (increased consumption awareness level).

• 3. To suggest ways of energy consumption reduction (from the user's sideof the platform, after running the scenarios) after proper evaluation ofvarious effects of different lighting products.

Data Gathering Methodology

Scenarios And Scenarios Parameters

Parameters Supporting Each Scenario

• 1. The monitoring environment (monitoring equipment).

• 2. Envisaged indicators required (results of aggregated measurement

data).

• 3. The related parameters to be measured.

• 4. Measurement system (includes specific sensors to be installed and

existing systems providing data).

• 5. Measurement procedures to be followed (measurement sequence,

prerequisites, rate of data gathering (in scientific terms is referred as the

“Sampling Rate”)).

Groups of Involved Actors

Groups of Involved Actors

• 1. End–consumers (Students).

• 2. Regulators (Lecturers).

• 3. Aggregator (Managers and Staff from the University's Estate

Department).

• 4. Energy Monitoring Supplier (A Green Tech Company).

Validation And Assessment

Our main goal though out the validation and assessment process

will be to understand, verify and increase the impact of the

Cassandra platform, in terms of services on customers or clients.

Through out the validation and assessment process we can use

one, or a combination, of the following methods for data collection

purposes:

1. Questionnaires

2. Surveys

3. Interviews

4. Documentation Review

5. Observation

6. Checklists
