The project is now at month 36 out of 48 planned months of execution. The activities have started with the specification and definition of the requirements to implement the SATO concept. This concept is heavily grounded on the development of a platform capable of connecting buildings and building equipment to the relevant actors, trough innovative user-centered interfaces implementing the interaction with a set of energy self-assessment and optimization services. A significant contribution of the first period was the definition of the SATO platform architecture, the self-assessment and optimization frameworks, and the interfaces interaction design and workflows. Finally, these components were taken from conceptualization, to the specification of the tools and technologies that will support the development and integration of the platform components, and to the beginning of the implementation of the different platform layers: Internet-of-Things middleware, Self Assessment Framework, Optimization Services, and interaction with actors through interfaces. During the second reporting period the consortium has finished the implementation of the platform components that support the communication with buildings, the execution of the computational flows behind the self-assessment & optimization frameworks, and the interaction with users. Additionally, the self-asessment framework and the services framework have been consolidated, developed and initiated the final implementation and deployment in the platform and pilots. The SATO demonstration framework, composed of eight pilots, has been implemented by finishing all interventions and system installations. The web-based, BIM-based, and mobile applications, have been fully designed and are being updated with the visualizations for specific assessments as these become ready in the platform.
