Smart homes have been viewed with increasing interest by both home owners and the research community in the past few years. One reason for this development is that the use of modern automation technology in the home or building promises considerable savings of energy therefore simultaneously reducing the operational costs of the building over its whole lifecycle. However the full potential of smart homes still lies fallow due to the complexity and diversity of the systems badly engineered and configured installations as well as the frequent problem of suboptimal control strategies. Summarized these problems converge to two undesirable conditions in the not-so-smart home energy consumption is still higher than actually necessary and users are unable to yield full comfort in their automated homes. This work puts its focus on alleviating the current problems by proposing a comprehensive system concept that shall ensure that smart homes can keep their promise in the future. The system operates on an extensive knowledge base that stores all information needed to fulfill the goals of energy efficiency and user comfort. Its intelligence is implemented as and within a multiagent system that also caters for the system s openness
