Renewable energy sources are important in the green building for energy saving. The use of renewable energy sources needs energy management in hbyrid green buildings. By using an energy management system, the energy costs of hyrid green buildings can be systematically and regularly controlled. In other words, it provides each consumer to produce their own energy in their own building, and reduce the dependence to the central power grid. Besides, the change of electricity pricing according to hours can be seen as another parameter. The aim of this study is to develop an energy informatics application for energy management in green buildings. Resource management scenarious have been created according to regional atmospherical conditions. These scenarious were monitored via an energy source management interface. In this study, a software which have a visual interface was developed. This software conducts an energy management system for a hybrid green building which has three kinds of energy resource like utility, solar arrays and energy storage system. This software proposes an resource management system between these three types of resources.Proposed system depends on some scenarious which are interchangable according to external parameters such as; variability of the price of energy received from electric grid, seasonal factors, fullness level of the batteries were designed. In the scenarios of the electric loads, making them continuous and as cheap as possible were taken into consideration. With the developed software, it is aimed to monitor energy consumption of each scenario. Thus, an arrangement using cheap, continuous and environmentally friendly resources as possible as will be provided.
