Smart Campus® as a living lab on sustainability indicators monitoring

Abstract

As a mini city with a range of activities, a university campus can be used as a simulation and living lab. Smartness is a quality of contributing to sustainable development and resilience, and results achieved in a smart campus can be extrapolated to real and larger city as well. Indicators and targets not only represent important tools for smart cities planning but also for civil society participation and engagement. This paper reports the experience of incorporating data science and IoT in university activities, through a continuous and smart monitoring system. The results related to energy efficiency are presented, in order to share the positive and negative aspects of indicators measurement and control, improving decision making addressed to university campus sustainability and smartness.
