In the context of Smart Grids and Internet of Things (IoT) Systems, distributed monitoring and actuation through Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks (WSANs) is fundamental to control the energy usage in buildings. Moreover, the realization of algorithms for the opti- mization of the energy consumption is of paramount importance. This paper presents a loosely coupled integration between a flexible manage- ment framework for WSANs, namely the IGMF (Intra-Grid Management Framework), and a Dynamic Energy Scheduler with local control on sen- sors and actuators, namely the ITESS (IoTLAB Energy Scheduling Sys- tem). The integrated system allows the users to manage whole buildings applying Dynamic Energy Schedulers for different environments.

In this context, the continuous monitoring of buildings can lead to the realization of important services (e.g. energy utilization optimization) that can be merged with the so called ”intra-grid” network [3] that controls and regulates the energy consumption in the part of the Smart Grid [4] that is located within the buildings. One of the best methods to monitor and control buildings is through the utilization of Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks (WSANs) [5] that allow any arrangement of sensors/actuators inside a building. WSANs offer a more flexible solution to audit buildings and con- trol equipment with respect to traditional systems, which require retrofitting the whole building and therefore are difficult to implement in existing struc- tures. Solutions based on WSANs for the building monitoring and control can be installed in existing structures with minimal efforts. This enables an effective distributed monitoring of building structure condition, and building space and
