The Norwegian pilot buildings are located in Ålesund, representing northern Europe with cold winters and mild humid
summers. There are a variety of building types including two health care centers, two schools, one medical center and
one sport arena.
The seven Norwegian pilot buildings will be implemented in Ålesund and will include buildings with different
intended uses,
such as schools, sports arenas, and health care centers.
This demonstration site will test the communication between the Edge Node and the BACS software, proving that the need for flexibility communicated to the system will be allocated through the mechanisms chosen for each given building.
