The upward trend in using both Cloud computing and Internet of Things (IoT) is changing the way of conceiving information and communication systems. We can talk about IoT Cloud\ to indicate a distributed complex system which is able to provide IoT-as-a-Service (IoTaaS). At the edge of the system, multisensors electronic devices make smart\ the {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}things{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright} they control also enabling the interconnection with a remote Cloud infrastructure, platform, or software through the Internet.

In such scenario, achieving energy-aware IoTaaS is a challenge which needs appropriate choices in all the environmental, economic and ethical aspects of sustainability. The use of Fog computing\ can help to discover new business opportunities taking into account the above {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}green{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright} goal.

In this paper, we discuss the advantages from using Fog computing to offer energy-aware IoTaaS in sustainable smart environments.

Moreover, we present an experimental use case proving the feasibility of our proposal.
