In this lecture I will present the required steps/methodology used on a Small scale case (house/domotics) towards a large scale one (smart city) under an Energy Efficiency situation. The integration of the various energy systems and the required optimization algorithms (stochastic dynamic programming) are also included in this part. Thus, initially the creation of a Software Tool for a single House Energy Management Systems (HEMS) followed by the further extension to multiple houses under a microgrid concept is given. As the scale increases then the creation of a more complex tool on the efficiency/optimization is required for the Building Energy Management Systems (BEMS). This system will have to operate also in presence of microrenewables (i.e., wind, solar, CHP) and the integration of electric vehicles (EVs) with the available parking space (underground or on surface), either on an islanded way or connected to the electricity grid under a symmetric/asymmetric situation functioning as a microproducer while this integrated tool is also the objective of this work.
