Imagine your building acting like a giant battery that talks to the city's power grid. Instead of just consuming electricity, it smartly manages heating, solar panels, and EV chargers to save money and energy. It's like giving a house a brain that knows exactly when to use power and when to give it back to the grid.
Buildings are currently passive energy consumers that strain the grid. There is a lack of interoperability between building energy systems and the wider electricity and heating grids, leading to energy waste and instability.
Integrated digital solutions and control strategies that connect buildings to smart grids, managing on-site renewables, energy storage, and mobility.
If you are a commercial property developer dealing with high energy costs and carbon taxes — this project developed integrated digital solutions that increase building energy efficiency and flexibility. This allows your properties to actively participate in energy markets while keeping tenants comfortable.
If you are a utility provider dealing with grid instability due to renewable energy spikes — this project developed interoperability solutions between buildings and grids. This helps you balance load and improve the resilience of the energy system.
If you are a home automation SME dealing with fragmented energy devices — this project developed digital technologies for integrating on-site renewables and mobility. This enables you to offer users a single system for energy management and empowerment.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or implementation costs are not provided; the project focuses on creating value for economic actors through performance-driven economics.
The project is designed for demonstration in relevant environments across 6 different countries to ensure the solutions can be generalized for different regions.
Based on available project data, there is no specific information regarding IP or licensing agreements.
It focuses on interoperability between buildings and district heating and electricity grids to ensure the building plays an active role in the energy system.
The project runs from 2025-01-01 to 2028-12-31, indicating that demonstrations and results will be developed during this period.
The consortium is well-balanced for technology transfer, consisting of 11 partners across 7 countries. With 4 industry partners (including 3 SMEs) and 5 universities, there is a strong 36% industry ratio, ensuring that the academic research is grounded in commercial viability and practical application.
