    A novel Decision Support System (DSS) development framework, named FusiX, with integrated simulation support, Graphical User Interface (GUI) support and data fusion engine, is developed to meet the needs of the modern building energy management sector. Its main objective is to facilitate and streamline the development and the expansion of a complete DSS. FusiX constitutes a versatile base on which Intelligent Energy Management Systems (IEMS) can be built, allowing a system engineer to incorporate different data resources into a single intelligent system. Its data fusion engine can process heterogeneous data from historic, real time sensed data, simulated and predicted data independently from their location (local or remote). The software system is extended with a web-based GUI for efficient administration, exposing all real-time measurements and available commands to authorized users, supporting user alerting, as well as providing means to produce and export business and technical reports.

    Forecasting the building energy consumption constitutes a significant factor for a wide variety of applications including planning, management and optimization. Nowadays, research is focused towards the development of more efficient and sustainable energy management systems which focus on minimising energy waste. These systems are based on intelligent models, which provide accurate predictions of future energy demand/load, both at aggregate and individual site level. In this work, we present a holistic integrated solution for the buildings’ energy management systems using deep learning methods. The proposed solution is based on efficient deep-learning forecasting models for short-term local weather parameters and energy load consumption. The developed forecasting models are integrated into the smart energy management system of the building for taking the proper decisions to ensure efficient utilization of energy resources.

    Das „Recht auf Reparatur“
    (Leykam, 2020-11-26)
    Kuhlmann, Josefine 
    The Right to Repair (R2R) movement has been gaining momentum and has been spreading all around the globe. While there seems to be considerable interest of consumers to be able to repair or to commission repair of their products (Eurobarometer 2014), there are substantial legal and non-legal barriers.In this paper three main legal obstacles to the establishment of a real right to repair, meaning an en-forceable claim against the producer of a non-digital product, are considered; most importantly, the Sale of Goods Directive. It does not prioritise repair in relation to the other warranty remedies. In addition, there is a missing link between the requirements set out (for certain groups of goods) in the implementing regula-tions of the EU Eco-Design Directive and the requirements of conformity as defined in the Sale of Goods Directive. Consequently, although there is a legal obligation for producers to provide spare parts, manuals and services for a certain amount of time, there is no corresponding right for the consumer to benefit di-rectly from these obligations.Second, the Waste Framework Directive and its transposition into national law both define a waste hierarchy that put waste prevention on top. At the same time, their definition of waste is rather broad and qualifies things as waste that could easily be (re-)used after (and sometimes even before) repair. Hence, another legal obstacle remains comes with the waste definition and – based on that – waste qualification.Finally, intellectual property law safeguards a producer’s rights by protecting trademarks, copyrights, patents and design rights. Most repairs require disassembly and spare parts and so they bear a potential of trade secrets being disclosed or intellectual property rights infringed. These risks are probably the most deterring factor for a universal right to repair. There are only limited remedies in intellectual property law in favour of consumers or independent repairers.If there were a right of repair embedded in consumer law – so the argument developed – the sheer number of claims from consumers against producers would pave the way to changes in the other relevant fields of law.
