In this paper, ENTROPY platform, an IT ecosystem for supporting energy\nefficiency in buildings through behavioural change of the occupants is\nprovided. The ENTROPY platform targets at providing a set of mechanisms for\naccelerating the adoption of energy efficient practices through the increase of\nthe energy awareness and energy saving potential of the occupants. The platform\ntakes advantage of novel sensor networking technologies for supporting\nefficient sensor data aggregation mechanisms, semantic web technologies for\nunified data representation, machine learning mechanisms for getting insights\nfrom the available data and recommendation mechanisms for providing\npersonalised content to end users. These technologies are combined and provided\nthrough an integrated platform, targeting at leading to occupants' behavioural\nchange with regards to their energy consumption profiles.\n
