	abstract = {<p class="rtejustify">Getting cities and communities smarter is a strategic but also very complex process that involves several actors (e.g., governments, industries, scientific researchers) and addresses many challenges. Among these, energy efficiency and cost-saving are indispensable. Following this line, in this paper we propose a novel energy-aware management system, we name Energy Saving Smart Building (ESSB), for smart environments. More specifically, we present its experimental use at University of Messina\&nbsp;in order to optimize the use of all the electrical equipments. The results are the reduction of energy consumptions and costs improving comfort and sustainability in smart office environments.\&nbsp;</p>
