INSTRUCT
Evidence-based market and policy instruments implementation across the EU to increase the demand for energy skills across construction sector value chain
Programme: Horizon 2020
Duration: 1.06.2020 – 30.11.2022
INSTRUCT intends to create a complete operational framework to increase the number of skilled building professionals and blue collar workers over the whole value chain (both for renovations and new constructions), and offer a set of service to support raising awareness of home and building owners and tenants about the benefits of sustainable energy skills, and the public authorities for the development of new legislative frameworks, e.g. requirements for skilled workers in public procurement
COGITO
Construction phase digital twin model
Programme: Horizon 2020
htpps://cogito-project.eu
COGITO project introduces a real-time digital representation (twin) of a construction project, using methods to ensure interoperability among the different components and technologies constituting the digital twin ecosystem, following the lean construction principles. COGITO aims to materialise the digitalisation benefits for the construction industry by harmonising Digital Twins with the Building Information Model concept and to establish a digital Construction 4.0 tool-box.
SMETHOD
Methodology for efficient segmenting innovating SMEs based on lifecycles, represented sectors and regional characteristics
Programme: Horizon 2020
Duration: 16.12.2017 – 30.06.2020
SMEthod aims to develop an improved methodology for segmenting innovative small and medium-sized enterprises for the purpose of optimizing the support provided to such companies by relevant institutions. Four case studies are being analyzed in detail: Finland, Spain, Poland and the United Kingdom; nevertheless, the results of the project will have pan-European application.
The methodology to be developed at SMEthod will take into account a number of relevant factors, such as the life cycle of the company, the sector and region of operations, and the innovation cycle, among others. The project will also develop criteria to more effectively match given types of innovation support to particular segments of companies. In addition, based on the results of the research work, an IT tool will be created to support decision-making in institutions providing support to innovative companies.
HOLISDER
Integrating Real-Intelligence in Energy Management Systems enabling Holistic Demand Response Optimization in Buildings and Districts
Programme: Horizon 2020
Duration: 01.10.2017 – 31.03.2021
HOLISDER brings together a wide range of mature technologies and integrates them in an open and interoperable framework, comprising in a fully-fledged suite of tools addressing the needs of the whole demand response value chain. In this way it will ensure consumer empowerment and transformation into active market players, through the deployment of a variety of implicit and hybrid demand response schemes, supported by a variety of end-user applications for Personalized Informative Billing, Human-Centric Energy Management, Load Scheduling and Intelligent Controls, Self-consumption promotion and cost-effective storage, Predictive Maintenance, along with Context-Aware Automation.
MOEEBIUS
Modelling Optimization of Energy Efficiency in Buildings for Urban Sustainability
Programme: Horizon 2020
Duration: 01.11.2015 – 01.05.2019
MOEEBIUS introduces a Holistic Energy Performance Optimization Framework that enhances current modelling approaches and delivers innovative simulation tools which deeply grasp and describe real-life building operation complexities in accurate simulation predictions that significantly reduce the “performance gap” and enhance multi-fold, continuous optimization of building energy performance as a means to further mitigate and reduce the identified “performance gap” in real-time or through retrofitting.
