Connect via open-communication protocols (i.e., Open Charge Point Protocol
(OCPP) for additional app-based services).
The component is intended to be adaptable either to new buildings construction
or to renovation interventions on existing buildings. In addition, it is suitable to be
installed outdoors in parking areas, aside cycle paths, public access areas or can be
installed as a stand-alone device. In this last solution, the system will be constructed
using certified recycled material to maximize the reduction of ecological footprint.
In Fig. 1, a series of photographs show the process of construction and integration
of a portion of the new building envelope equipped with the INCASe module.
The system makes available and easily usable, by every individual user, fundamental information for the monitoring, optimization and enhancement of the electricity
produced. Additional services that improve the building operation performance will
be foreseen. Within these additional services, the following can be included: security
control of the area, remote authorization for building access and the storage of orders
placed with the courier. Likewise, the municipality would be able to have available
shared charging spaces for the electrical mobility, guaranteeing the sufficient territory cover and reducing costs of implementation and management. In this way, the
system is an alternative to the road infrastructure conversion and allows the efficient
management of municipal spaces for free or paid parking otherwise necessary for
recharging. The activities of sharing electrical vehicles or electricity provision will
directly benefit the citizens by enhancing the use of these spaces, also due to the
reduced costs of construction and maintenance.
3 Conclusions
The project is immersed within the context of the development of advanced sensor
implementation for IoT devices, with the capabilities to be integrated for building
automation at building scale through the installation of elements into a modular
façade component enabling innovative interventions primarily on existing buildings.
The system will allow the acquisition of granular data coming either from
the condominium’s interior or from external affiliations of electrical vehicles that
will be accessible for monitoring via the app-based environment and the crosscommunication link with the device. Different techniques applied, would allow the
real-time adaptation of the implemented functionalities for off-line analysis and profiling aimed at improving the service provided. Accordingly, it will be possible to
allow the interaction of the device both with the electric vehicles plugged or with those
registered for connection and with smart elements for building automation present
in the condominium, primarily energy storage technologies (i.e., aside photovoltaics
systems) and personal devices.
