Recent studies show that the Energy Performance Gap (EPGap), defined as the difference between the estimated and actual energy consumption of a building, is significantly high. This is due to various factors encountered in the different phases of the building life cycle, i.e., inaccuracy of the specifications used in the simulation tools during design phase, poor quality of the on-site practices conducted throughout the construction, inadequate verification of the equipment installed in the building during commissioning phase, and limited analysis of the data collected from the equipment during the operational phase. With the aim of reducing the EPGap, we present an energy management framework defined in the context of an EU-funded H2020 project, HIT2GAP1. The proposed solution provides several services from collecting heterogeneous on-site data, to advanced data analysis and visualization tools designed for the different actors of a building (e.g., building/facility/energy manager, occupants, etc.), for building energy performance optimization. In this paper, we give an overview on the proposed framework architecture and detail its different functionalities, with a particular focus on the solution Core Platform, which is in charge of orchestrating the different components, storing and structuring the data, and providing pre-processing services.

Twenty-first century systemic global change in health, water, environment, energy, business and socio-economic structures is challenging our communities' management of resources. For a community to adapt to this systemic change, while maintaining and even enhancing its economy and quality of life, the World Economic Forum has recognized the need for new approaches to enable collaborative innovation (CI) and related action among both the leadership and concerned members of the community. Many see the web as an approach to CI and as a new form of creativity machine that can augment our intelligence. This paper outlines the concepts of an approach to CI based on asset mapping and how it has been supported through a web-based technological framework. based on the experience using the framework in designing and building over 50 systems that incorporate asset-mapping CI, it is clear that CI takes many forms. We illustrate some of these forms through specific examples in environment and socio-economic development and planning. We conclude that it is not possible to build a single set of tools to support CI. Rather a framework and a set of meta-tools is needed which can be used to build tailored systems to fit specific situations that arise when web-based collaboration is to occur. The Centre for Community Mapping and the Computer Systems Group at the University of Waterloo are using the web Informatics Development Environment (WIDE) to support collaborative innovation, with services related to temporal and spatial data, distributed role-based access controls, reporting, document management, social networks and other collaboration tools. Two examples are discussed: Invasives Tracking System, developed for the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters for agencies and the general public, with facilities for capturing, identifying, mapping and reporting on invasive aquatic and terrestrial species in search, discovery, remediation and monitoring stages of invasives management
