Within the scope of the SATO project in the Energy application area, Zygimantas Jasiunas, a PhD student supervised by integrated members Pedro M. Ferreira and José Cecílio, published the paper entitled “A soft sensor to assess the energy performance of laundry washing machines” in the journal “Applied Energy” with an impact factor of 10.1 and ranked within the top 3% of the Scimago Journal Ranking. The paper presents an IoT-based soft sensor to estimate laundry load in washing machines. It defines user-centred real-life resource efficiency indicators that extend energy labelling performance indicators.
