A Short Review on Smart Building Energy Resource Optimization

Motivated by increasingly strict policies aiming to reduce the pollutants emission that contribute to the greenhouse gases effect and seeking the sustainability of the electricity sector, buildings have great potential to contribute to these goals. For accounting more than a third of the world's energy consumption and combining the growing incentive in Distributed Generation (DG) and the electric vehicle (EV) industry, smart buildings will be a key development in the years to come. In this way, this work presents an introduction to the linear programming (LP) optimization method and review the main works related to the scope of Smart Buildings (SB) energy resources optimization modeled as LP, with the objective to analyze different approaches taken to meet their goals.This work has received funding from FEDER Funds through COMPETE program and from National Funds through FCT under the project UID/EEA/00760/2019 and BENEFICE – PTDC/EEI-EEE/29070/201
