Advanced Data Systems for Energy Consumption Optimization and Air Quality Control in Smart Public Buildings Using a Versatile Open Source Approach

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

1. The language should be double-checked. I have seen several mistakes, and this article should proofread during the possible revision. After a double-check of the English used to try to avoid any typographical error.

2. The introduction and literature review section should be improved. Bring along as much as you can the baseline scientific proof for the knowledge you are going to explore in further sections. The literature is better to be updated based on the most recent works.

3. The results and discussion are suitable to be more described. I think Figure 3-5 requires more discussion. Also, try to remark the influential parameters as a graphical/statistical view.

 

4. I think the abstract and conclusion can be more informative

Reviewer 2 Report

1.     The name of used approach should be mentioned in the paper title. Using a Low Cost Approach is not appropriate.

2.     Don’t use the abbreviations in abstract, and headings.

3.     The figures should be improved in terms of quality.

4.     The problem formulation is not clear.

5. The results should be compared with other methods.
