*2.2. Work Environment Study*

In this study, the internal environment of the home is affected by many negative aspects that have a direct relationship with the residents, in particular:


After analyzing and studying previous work, the following propositions can be suggested:


All these proposals are really interesting to achieve energy savings without neglecting the comfort of the inhabitants. However, there are other issues related to the characteristics of forgetfulness and neglect that characterize the individual, which make the implementation of the above suggestions really difficult. On this basis, a suggestion was presented to develop automatic (semi-automatic) and intelligent solutions, and conducted to ensure the completion of the previous proposals. The proposed work is an intelligent solution based on the ontology of energy management. This choice is justifiable due to the nature of the system that is open, complex, and distributed. Then, the system concerned by this study is characterized by a significant informational volume that requires flexibility in the presentation of knowledge of the ontology web language (OWL), which will be exploited to create intelligent reasoning using the semantic web rules language (SWRL). The ontology carried

out is applied to a house located in the city of Algiers. Finally, following a comparison between two scenarios of energy consumption, the solution shows their importance from the efficient energy saving viewpoint.
