We know that predicting the future of efficiency energy is very risky but if we put together a number of international experts in the sector can give us some guidelines that may be followed.
From CLEAResult a consulting company international, has brought together different professionals from the field of energy efficiency that also, They cover different sectors such as technology, policy or architecture to offer the possible keys before 2016 and its coming years.
So, 10 predictions about efficiency energy brings together the conclusions of this group nourished by teachers with some data added by part of this portal.

A new term, but… What is LIFI? If you have not heard of this term, it is very possible that this year sounds very strong. The meaning of LiFi (Light Fidelity) or light communications visible, is the communication technology based on the light that uses light waves instead of radio technology to give data.
That is, with this technology, the lamps LEDs compatible with Li-Fi can make get data at extreme speeds. The LiFi technology will increase the value offered by lighting systems, giving the opportunity to collect and share data.
Technology companies in the lighting sector will begin to incorporate Li-Fi in many of ceiling lights to get data transfer and information at an alarming rate, in fact,
The term appeared at a TED conference in 2011 about communication with visible light, but it is now when It is taking on greater strength after having been tested in environments real. We leave a video to begin to understand how LiFi works.
Software technologies and mobile devices not only they are changing our life day by day, they are changing the how public services ensure the network communication and communicate with the consumer or users in time real.
With the rise of cloud technology, data analytics data and social networks, public services are resorting to the demand of the behavior of response (Behavioral Demand Response – BDR) programs that combine the power of real-time analysis and the communication to reach users obtaining a greater control and facilitating administrative actions both for users like administration.
Sales of electric cars are rising sharply. Public services have to adapt and create strategies to help connect the new car park to the network.
The demand for electric vehicles is not will grow without a more active commitment that extends from the manufacturers to car dealers including administrations. The year 2017 ended with some sales of electric vehicles greater than 75,000 units in Europe, an increase of 48.5% compared to 2016.
In the graph it can be confirmed that the electric vehicle sales are in boom.
Many sectors of the industry seek upgrade your "old" lighting to the new ones leds, but one of the biggest obstacles was the cost initial. The strong appearance of the «ilighting as a service» is going to change this appearance.
Lproviders of services change inefficient lights with solutions new and energy efficient, at no cost to the businessman.
Projects are paid for through savings energy and maintenance that the supplier ultimately renders instance. Contract updates are already a reality and valid option that the employer should consider with strength to improve your efficiency energy.
As the proliferation of devices and technology grows, more and more data is available (Big Data = Systems that manipulate large sets of of data) to help understand the customer and user behavior. As you public services collect more information understand more to the consumer, many of them will have to resort to this data to improve your relationship with the user.
To learn more, we left a TED talk on Big Data subtitled in Spanish.
The digital commitment will have a deeper impact on public services in 2016 and the remaining years. Marketing and commercialization of digital technology means utility, it is In other words, doing more with fewer resources provides savings and efficiency. It also offers greater metrics that can assess performance inside and outside public services.
Energy management systems in the home, the so-called HEMS (Home Energy Management Systems) go beyond the smart meter or a connected system, include innovative technologies to save, generate and store energy at home (An example would be the famous battery Tesla Powerwall).
In addition, these systems provide valuable data and greater savings for end users. A system that is easy to implement in homes and can even be provide information about public services. Here also enters the famous technology of the Internet of things.

There will be more debate from politics, if possible, about energy consumption from the perspective of saving and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. new policies that include new regulations before the agreement reached COP21 in Paris.
The information in real time, using energy management software will support other trends we have identified. Your use in industrial facilities will push continued optimization of abatement systems in energy costs and maintenance while decreasing downtime and increase productivity. Many companies are integrating dashboards with asset management controls the energy in their systems.
The Industrial sector involved in systems of self-generation of energy will increase in the form of renewable energy, heat recovery generation, cogeneration system… etc.
The most efficient technologies for generation and the use of waste as a fuel source (Example, Biomass). There are also localized benefits to the final consumer has less dependence on the network for the benefit of savings, use of fuels «clean» and the reduction of waste.
