Sustainable Places Conference 2022: "Innovations for Upgrading the Smartness of Buildings" 8 September

We are thrilled to announce that COLLECTiEF will take part in the Smart buildings: Innovations for upgrading the smartness of buildings workshop at the Sustainable Places Conference 2022 (SP2022), on September 8 from 9:00 CET.

The 10th annual edition of Sustainable Places, co-organised by COLLECTiEF partner R2M Solution, will take place in Nice, France, from 6th September to 9th September with both virtual and physical sessions.

 

About the workshop

An essential part of Europe’s clean energy transition is the changing role of buildings from consuming energy to actively controlling and optimizing the indoor environment while contributing to energy system flexibility by ensuring distributed energy generation from renewable energy sources, energy storage, facilitate smart charging of EVs, smart metering, load reduction through energy efficiency and load shifting through demand response. 

The revised Energy Performance of Buildings Directive has introduced the Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) to reflect the level of services offered by a smart building. This indicator gives a framework to assess the smart readiness of buildings and building units to adapt operations to the needs of the occupant and the grid and to improve energy efficiency and overall performance.

Innovative technologies will enable smart buildings to interact with their occupants and the grid in real time and to manage themselves efficiently, so as to become an active element of the energy system. Intelligent and connected devices, smart sensors and controllers, supported by the development of new business models for new energy services, will create new opportunities for energy consumers.

These new solutions will allow upgrading existing buildings, either residential or tertiary, using automation and IT to offer new services and control to the building users, thereby improving their comfort and increasing their satisfaction; they should result in an upgrade of the above-mentioned buildings’ SRI score.

This workshop will first propose a status update on the testing and implementation of the SRI indicator across Europe, with an outline of the supporting framework and activities provided by the SmartBuilt4EU project. Following this, several EU-supported Innovation projects will pitch the value proposition of their expected smart building innovations and associated impacts: Auto-DAN, Smart2B, COLLECTiEF, domO, PRELUDE, SATO, PHOENIX, iBECOME

Finally, all participants will be invited to reflect and provide feedback on the roadmap and Smart Building R&I priorities developed by the SmartBuilt4EU project in a joint collective and interactive session.
