Summary: | In spite of the substantial advance in developing energy-efficient buildings,
power demand in the building sector is still remarkably growing due to
teleworking and e-learning triggered by the COVID-19 movement restrictions.
This is highlighted by the inefficiency of energy saving measures that have
recently been set owing to the the marketability failure and unsuccessful
design integration of existing ICT based solutions. Specifically, the factors
that affect energy efficiency comprise natural and socio-economic restrictions,
technological advances, and last but not least the human behavior. Energy
efficiency based on behavioral change has attracted an increasing interest in
the recent years, unfortunately, solutions in this area suffer from the lack of
marketability because of the absence of both prospective studies and consumer
awareness. This work, focuses on a key cost-effective technology for monitoring
power consumption and for contributing to the behavioral change through smart,
personalized, and on the moment, action recommendations. In order to examine
the marketability of the proposed solution, we begin with a market and research
analysis of the domain of energy efficiency systems in the building sector that
target behavioral change. Moving forward, various factors that affect the
commercialization of the final product are considered before proceeding with
recommended actions to ensure its successful marketability via conducting a
Go/No-Go analysis. Finally, based on the comprehensive commercialization study,
a GO decision is concluded for the subject technology. |
