Irrational energy consumption and waste of energy are two of the main problems that we face today. A lot of the energy is wasted by people in their homes or offices because they are not paying much attention to their energy consumption. In order to increase energy efficiency of the general population and to raise general awareness, a system based on Internet of Things (IoT) is developed to influence users to be more energy efficient. Because of the great number of different entities in the buildings and their complex relationships, a semantic ontology is used to store contextual knowledge about spatial arrangements of the rooms, devices and sensors in the buildings.
