Their core work

This is a Greek Digital Innovation Hub (DIH) specializing in intelligent solutions for zero and positive energy buildings. They provide digital tools and expertise — including BIM, GIS, building digital twins, and smart monitoring systems — to support energy performance certification and building energy optimization. Their work extends to district-level energy planning, demand response strategies, and citizen engagement in the energy transition. They contribute as a third-party expert to large EU Innovation Actions, bringing digitalization capabilities to energy efficiency and decarbonisation projects.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Their earliest involvement (2020) centered on building-level digital tools — BIM, GIS, digital twins, and smart monitoring for energy performance certification. By 2021, their focus broadened to district-scale energy challenges: positive energy districts, decarbonisation of coal regions, demand response, and citizen empowerment. This shift from individual building diagnostics toward community-scale energy transition and prosumer engagement suggests a deliberate move up the scale from buildings to neighbourhoods and cities.

They are moving from building-level digitalization toward district-scale energy transition and citizen-driven demand flexibility, positioning themselves at the intersection of smart buildings and smart communities.

How they like to work

They participate exclusively as a third party — linked to projects through a parent organization rather than as a direct consortium member. Despite this indirect role, they are connected to large consortia (84 unique partners across 21 countries), indicating they contribute specialized expertise to ambitious, multi-partner Innovation Actions. Working with them likely means engaging their digital innovation hub capabilities as a subcontracted expert rather than as a formal consortium partner.

Through their third-party participation in three large Innovation Actions, they are connected to 84 unique partners across 21 countries — a remarkably wide network for an organization of this size, reflecting the large-scale consortia they contribute to.

What sets them apart

As a Digital Innovation Hub based in Thessaloniki, they sit at the intersection of building information modelling and energy transition — a niche that combines construction-sector digitalization with clean energy goals. Their specific combination of BIM/GIS expertise, smart monitoring, and energy community engagement is uncommon among Greek organizations in H2020. For consortium builders, they offer a bridge between the digital construction world and the energy flexibility world, with a Greek base useful for Southern European demonstration sites.
