The purpose of the present paper is to present recent developments of integrated building energy manaeement system combining intelligent decision making systems and smart card technology using Local Operating Network (LON) techniques applying mainly to existing buildings and to new buildings with minimum construction modifications. The development of the above Integrated Energy Management System (IBEMS) is focusing on 25% energy savings at existing buildings comparing to conventional control systems improving at the same time the indoor conditions and comfort. The project is funded in part by the European Commission in the framework of the Non Nuclear Energy Program JOULE III (CT97-0044)
