Imagine turning a building into a giant, smart battery that knows exactly when to heat up or cool down to save money. Instead of old gas boilers, it uses high-tech heat pumps and solar panels that talk to each other. It's like giving a house a brain that manages energy automatically to keep people comfortable while cutting pollution.
Building heating still relies heavily on fossil fuels, and the transition to electric systems is often fragmented and inefficient. There is a lack of integrated tools to manage energy production, storage, and demand in a way that is affordable and scalable.
A suite of tools including Digital Twins for performance monitoring, second-life battery storage systems, and a 'Decarbonisation as a service' decision support tool.
If you are a heating system installer dealing with the phase-out of fossil-fuel boilers — this project developed integrated heat pump and solar solutions that allow for the direct replacement of old boilers. This enables a faster transition to electric heating for customers.
If you are a developer dealing with strict carbon emission targets for new constructions — this project developed Digital Twins and smart control tools that optimize indoor air quality and thermal comfort. This increases the asset value and ensures regulatory compliance.
If you are a battery firm dealing with the waste of electric vehicle batteries — this project developed systems using second-life batteries for building energy storage. This creates a new revenue stream from repurposed hardware.
Based on available project data, specific pricing is not listed, but the project aims to develop 'highly cost-effective' solutions to ensure an affordable pathway to decarbonization.
Yes, the project focuses on high replicability for various building categories and uses 7 Replication Multipliers to ensure the solutions can be scaled beyond the initial 6 Front Runner projects.
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not provided, but the project delivers blueprints and business models intended for wide replication.
The project uses interoperable interfaces that allow the system to communicate with other Building Energy Management Systems (BEMS) and grid interaction tools.
The project runs from 2024-01-01 to 2027-12-31, with demonstrations occurring in real-life construction and renovation projects during this window.
The consortium is heavily weighted toward commercial application, with 24 industry partners (59% ratio) and 11 SMEs. This strong industrial presence, combined with 13 countries, suggests the project is designed for immediate market entry rather than theoretical research, focusing on the practical supply chain of building electrification.
