Abstract
This paper introduces the concept of Multi-Institution Building Energy System (MIBES) for the smart energy management. The MIBES addresses the exploitation of energy data shared by numerous multi-site multi-purpose institutions. It is a “hierarchical graph” describing the physical and structural reality of the data collected for these institutions. We propose the architecture of a multi-agent system (MAS) for the MIBES smart management. This MAS is then used within a data collection system to allow real time treatment of the system. This complete system is being deployed in a french company called Energisme.
