The continuous rise of energy consumption, energy prices and the harshness of natural resources have generated a change in people and companies' behavior towards energy efficient awareness. Currently, building automation controls commercial and residential buildings to try to satisfy energy saving goals. However, the use of this kind of systems does not assure an optimal energy behavior. An intelligent energy management approach based on Artificial Intelligence techniques arise as a most advantageous solution to improve the benefits provided for new control systems. This paper describes an approach, developed under the EU project called KnoHolEM
