Imagine your building has a universal translator that lets all its different heating, cooling, and lighting systems finally talk to each other. This project creates a digital twin—a virtual copy of the building—to test energy-saving ideas before applying them in real life. It's like having a smart health tracker for a house that tells you exactly how to save energy and money.
Building owners struggle to integrate different energy systems and lack clear data to make decisions on smart upgrades, leading to wasted energy and high costs.
A Smart Transformer Toolbox including a Universal Building API and Digital Twins (Maturity Level 3 and 4) for simulation and control.
If you are a property manager dealing with fragmented energy data across multiple sites — this project developed a Universal Building API that allows real-time monitoring and control of energy devices. This simplifies communication between different systems to lower energy costs.
If you are an energy consultant dealing with the difficulty of auditing old buildings — this project developed MAPO services to continuously monitor, assess, predict, and optimise performance. This enables a faster transition to green energy for clients.
If you are a software firm dealing with the complexity of writing custom code for every different building brand — this project developed a unified approach to interact with buildings. This creates the foundation for a building app store to accelerate smart upgrades.
Based on available project data, the specific pricing is not mentioned, but the project aims to provide 'affordable' and 'easy-to-install' services.
Yes, the project objective is to create a 'scalable and replicable solution' applicable to the broadest range of building types.
Based on available project data, the IP and licensing terms are not specified in the provided text.
It uses a Universal Building API to abstract communication complexity, allowing heterogeneous systems to be monitored and controlled in real-time.
The project runs from 2023-05-01 to 2026-10-31, with the goal of reaching TRL8.
The consortium is heavily industry-driven with 12 industrial partners (55% ratio), including 8 SMEs. This suggests a strong focus on commercial viability rather than pure academic research, with a diverse geographic spread across 8 European countries.
