# DARE

The energy crisis and surging fossil fuel prices have prompted a need for improved energy management in residential and commercial buildings. Traditional energy-saving methods fall short, demanding continuous, real-time management specific to individual consumer habits. 

Faults in equipment or energy leaks require swift detection for energy efficiency. This is possible with contextual data from IoT devices and sensors located in smart buildings, which operate within specific vendor ecosystems, resulting in data silos and limited interoperability across systems.\
\
Data Spaces for smaRt Energy (DARE) addresses these challenges by enabling the delivery of sectoral services in vendor-specific buildings, improving energy management and efficiency. DARE creates a data space for data from smart energy equipment and contextual data from smart sensors within buildings, offering a robust access control system with defined access policies and the ability to “revoke” access rights as needed. [i4Trust building blocks](https://github.com/i4Trust/building-blocks) were pivotal in developing DARE's envisioned data space. This is facilitated by configuring the iSHARE Authorisation Registry and storing data in the FIWARE Context Broker using transcoders to make access control decisions using data. This is included in auxiliary information provided by the [iSHARE Participant Registry](https://trustbok.ishare.eu/apply-ishare/participant-registry).
