First CASSANDRA Workshop Presentation

1. WP7- Pilot Case 3
(Benchmarking In Lighting
Products)

2. Expected Outputs & Results
• 1. To measure lighting energy consumption as it stands in a University
environment. The production of a set of consumer utility models is the core
of this objective, as measurements for different hours of the day and for
different types of activities characteristic only in a university environment
will provide the Cassandra platform with the diverse in nature scenario
results required to enhance its effectiveness and efficiency.
• 2. Identify parameters that decrease energy consumption without
significant reduction of consumer comfort/utility. The Evaluation of lighting
design according to standards and for different lighting products, under
both user free-of-restrictions actions scenarios and under user imposed
actions scenarios (increased consumption awareness level).
• 3. To suggest ways of energy consumption reduction (from the user's side
of the platform, after running the scenarios) after proper evaluation of
various effects of different lighting products.

4. Data Gathering Methodology

5. Scenarios And Scenarios Parameters
Parameters Supporting Each Scenario
• 1. The monitoring environment (monitoring equipment).
• 2. Envisaged indicators required (results of aggregated measurement
data).
• 3. The related parameters to be measured.
• 4. Measurement system (includes specific sensors to be installed and
existing systems providing data).
• 5. Measurement procedures to be followed (measurement sequence,
prerequisites, rate of data gathering (in scientific terms is referred as the
“Sampling Rate”)).

6. Groups of Involved Actors
Groups of Involved Actors
• 1. End–consumers (Students).
• 2. Regulators (Lecturers).
• 3. Aggregator (Managers and Staff from the University's Estate
Department).
• 4. Energy Monitoring Supplier (A Green Tech Company).

7. Validation And Assessment
Our main goal though out the validation and assessment process
will be to understand, verify and increase the impact of the
Cassandra platform, in terms of services on customers or clients.
Through out the validation and assessment process we can use
one, or a combination, of the following methods for data collection
purposes:
1. Questionnaires
2. Surveys
3. Interviews
4. Documentation Review
5. Observation
6. Checklists
