| Welcome to the very first issue of the COLLECTiEF newsletter, celebrating the first year of project implementation! COLLECTiEF is a Horizon 2020 project launched in June 2021 with the ambition to smart up the European building stock and improve the energy performances of existing buildings by implementing an interoperable and scalable energy management system based on Collective Intelligence. We are very happy to introduce you to the COLLECTiEF project and share some highlights from the last 12 months.
So whether you are a professional in the energy and building sectors, passionate about the climate and the environment, or simply curious about our activities, we hope you will enjoy learning more about how we are contributing to building a greener and more climate resilient Europe! | | | |  | What is COLLECTiEF?
What are COLLECTiEF’s goals and how do we aim to achieve them? Our project coordinator, Amin Moazami, our scientific coordinator, Vahid Nik, and NODA CEO Christian Johansson introduce the project and its ambitions.

Our partners TEICOS (construction company) and LSI LASTEM (supplier of sensors and repeaters for environmental comfort monitoring) coordinated the preparatory works in our Italian pilot site. All apartments participating in the COLLECTiEF project have been provided with LASTEM's Sphensors, 2 smart plugs and smart thermostatic valves.

Numerous conventional wall thermostats have been replaced with low-cost Internet-of-Things (IoT)-enabled thermostats in three campus buildings at the Cyprus Institute in Nicosia. This activity is part of a series of action planned to improve the smartness of buildings in our pilot site, by enabling the remote monitoring and control of indoor environmental conditions.
