Description

**ecoControl** is a prototype that demonstrates how heterogeneous energy systems can be optimized in residential buildings. For this reason, **ecoControl** aims to provide a unifying programming interface as well as suitable forecasts. It makes it possible to execute, develop and share optimization algorithms which can be based on those forecasts. However, **ecoControl** currently supports only a few energy systems such as cogeneration units, peak load boilers and heat storages. Since it is released under the `MIT license <http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT>`_, it can easily be extended to support more energy systems by anyone who can write Python code.
