The Internet of Things (IoT) has become one of the most widely research paradigms, having received much attention from the research community in the last few years. IoT is the paradigm that creates an internet-connected world, where all the everyday objects capture data from our environment and adapt it to our needs. However, the implementation of IoT is a challenging task and all the implementation scenarios require the use of different technologies and the emergence of new ones, such as Edge Computing (EC). EC allows for more secure and efficient data processing in real time, achieving better performance and results. Energy efficiency is one of the most interesting IoT scenarios. In this scenario sensors, actuators and smart devices interact to generate a large volume of data associated with energy consumption. This work proposes the use of an Edge-IoT platform and a Social Computing framework to build a system aimed to smart energy efficiency in a public building scenario. The system has been evaluated in a public building and the results make evident the notable benefits that come from applying Edge Computing to both energy efficiency scenarios and the framework itself. Those benefits included reduced data transfer from the IoT-Edge to the Cloud and reduced Cloud, computing and network resource costs.
物联网（IoT）已成为研究最为广泛的范式之一，在过去几年中受到了研究界的广泛关注。物联网是一种创建互联世界的范式，在这个世界中，所有日常物品都能从我们的环境中捕获数据并根据我们的需求进行调整。然而，物联网的实施是一项具有挑战性的任务，所有实施场景都需要使用不同的技术以及新出现的技术，如边缘计算（EC）。边缘计算允许进行更安全、高效的实时数据处理，从而实现更好的性能和结果。能源效率是物联网中最有趣的场景之一。在这种场景下，传感器、执行器和智能设备相互作用，生成大量与能源消耗相关的数据。这项工作提出使用边缘物联网平台和社会计算框架来构建一个旨在实现公共建筑场景中智能能源效率的系统。该系统已在一座公共建筑中进行了评估，结果表明将边缘计算应用于能源效率场景和框架本身带来了显著的好处。这些好处包括减少从物联网边缘到云的数据传输，以及降低云、计算和网络资源成本。
