heal.abstract	Nowadays, buildings are responsible for about 40% of the EU's total final energy consumption and greenhouses emissions, putting them among the largest end-use sectors globally. In this context, a number of studies exist in the international literature analyzing the importance of effective energy and environmental management of the buildings. With respect to the above, the main aim of the paper is to present a building automation and control tool for remote and real time monitoring of energy consumption in the building sector. Apart from analyzing the building's energy profile, the tool integrates control scenarios that minimizes the energy consumption and rationalizes the energy use in the highest degree. The proposed tool achieves significant decrease in the operating cost of active system in a tertiary sector building, while maintaining desirable comfort. © 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.	en
