However, data sharing between end-users and other external entities is a concern that must be addressed to ensure data privacy. Given the above, this paper proposes a trustworthy energy management system for energy communities to enable direct internet of things devices\u2019 participation in demand response programs at the community level. This solution is based on a building energy management system framework that considers signed tokens to maintain end-user data privacy and manage data access. Likewise, this solution can plan future demand response events to balance the consumption and generation, using the internet of things device\u2019s flexibility. The results demonstrated that the planned demand response event for one hour efficiently balanced the energy community energy resources, enabling a reduction of approximately 2.8 kWh. Thus, the proposed solution allows safeguarding data ownership rights while efficiently managing energy resources.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/electronics11060897","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,15]],"date-time":"2022-03-15T03:06:10Z","timestamp":1647313570000},"page":"897","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["A Trustworthy Building Energy Management System to Enable Direct IoT Devices\u2019 Participation in Demand Response Programs"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Nuno","family":"Teixeira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"GECAD\u2014Research Group on Intelligent Engineering and Computing for Advanced Innovation and Development, Polytechnic of Porto, P-4200-072 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5574-6972","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ruben","family":"Barreto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"GECAD\u2014Research Group on Intelligent Engineering and Computing for Advanced Innovation and Development, Polytechnic of Porto, P-4200-072 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8597-3383","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luis","family":"Gomes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"GECAD\u2014Research Group on Intelligent Engineering and Computing for Advanced Innovation and Development, Polytechnic of Porto, P-4200-072 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5982-8342","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pedro","family":"Faria","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"GECAD\u2014Research Group on Intelligent Engineering and Computing for Advanced Innovation and Development, Polytechnic of Porto, P-4200-072 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4560-9544","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zita","family":"Vale","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"GECAD\u2014Research Group on Intelligent Engineering and Computing for Advanced Innovation and Development, Polytechnic of Porto, P-4200-072 Porto, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"30","DOI":"10.1016\/j.rser.2016.03.047","article-title":"Smart home energy management systems: Concept, configurations, and scheduling strategies","volume":"61","author":"Zhou","year":"2016","journal-title":"Renew.
