Objectives:
There is enough waste energy produced in the EU to heat the EU’s entire building stock; however
despite of this huge potential, only a restricted number of small scale examples of urban waste heat
recovery are present across the EU. The objective of REUSEHEAT is to demonstrate, at TRL8 first
of their kind advanced, modular and replicable systems enabling the recovery and reuse of waste
heat available at the urban level.
REUSEHEAT explicitly builds on previous knowledge and EU funded projects (notably CELSIUS,
Stratego and HRE4) and intends to overcome both technical and non technical barriers towards the
unlocking of urban waste heat recovery investments across Europe.
Four large scale demonstrators will be deployed, monitored and evaluated during the project,
showing the technical feasibility and economic viability of waste heat recovery and reuse from data
centres (Brunswick), sewage collectors (Nice), cooling system of a hospital (Madrid) and
underground station (Bucharest). The knowledge generated from the demonstrators and from other
examples across the EU will be consolidated into a handbook which will provide future investors with
new insight in terms of urban waste heat recovery potential across the EU. Innovative and efficient
technologies and solutions, suitable business models and contractual arrangements, estimation of
investment risk, bankability and impact of urban waste heat recovery investments, authorization
procedures are examples of handbook content. The handbook will be promoted through a powerful
dissemination and training strategy in order to encourage a rapid and widespread replication of the
demonstrated solutions across the EU.

Objectives:
MulitPACK will be the confidence building demonstrator for standardised integrated cooling &
heating packages installed in high energy demanding buildings. The roll-out of new energy efficient
plug-and-play units should reduce the specific energy consumption by more than 25 %,
simultaneously reducing the total cost of ownership. A scientific-supported introduction of innovative
packages, all parts made in Europe, applying the natural working fluid CO2 and the latest efficiency
enhancing technologies will validate the suitability of the CO2 heat pumping and refrigeration
technology for warm climate applications.
The EU F-gas regulation forces the end-users to request new heat pump solutions in the near future.
The upcoming process of replacing non –renewable or F-gas based heating/cooling units, especially
in Southern Europe, represents the business case for the industry. Especially South-European
contractors have to be trained to become confident and motivated to offer innovative heat pumping
solutions, as for example developed by MulitPACK.
Pack manufacturers, typically being SMEs like ENEX, do not have the possibility to shake down new
developments in a laboratory environment representing real life conditions. Therefore, MultiPACK
will reduce the risk and fear for the end-user accepting the installation of demonstration/validation
units in their properties, solving the challenge of “innovation without risk for the end user”.
To this aim, six remotely controlled and monitored demonstration/validation sites (3/3) at several
South-European locations at energy demanding end-users will be utilised. The real performance of
new integrated packs providing refrigeration/space cooling & heating with high levels of indoor
comfort and sanitary hot water demand will be measured and reported.
Training material supporting end users and contractors towards a successful implementation of
integrated packs will become public via the MulitPACK communication centre.

Objectives:
Rapid expansion of utilisation of solar thermal energy for increasing energy efficiency of buildings
have been adopted in short/medium- and long-term Energy Strategies of EU countries in line with
regional actions with the European climate energy objectives as defined in the European Union’s
“20-20-20” targets and in the European Commission’s Energy Roadmap 2050.
The overall objective of this project is to develop an innovative high performance and cost effective
2-kWel/18-kWth solar heat and power system for application in individual dwellings and small
business residential buildings for on-site electricity and heat generation using solar thermal energy
at temperature levels of 250-280 deg.C. The proposed technology will be laboratory validated and
undergo filed tests on a demonstration site.
The project will utilise the expertise of the consortium members in the development of small Organic
Rankine Cycle plants, linear Fresnel mirror solar energy concentrating collectors; advanced heat
pipe technologies for the thermal management; high performance Thermal Energy Storage systems
on the basis of Phase Change Materials; smart control units for integration of solar thermal and
boiler heating circuits. Also participants of this Project are experienced in integration of Renewable
energy technologies into buildings, optimisation of complex plants and in analysis and predictions of
socio-economic impact and in commercialisation of new Renewable energy products;
It is estimated that the proposed technology will deliver 60% of domestic energy requirements and
provide 20% reduction in energy costs and Green House Gas (GHG) emissions compared to the
best existing low carbon energy technologies. In this way the project will also assist in improving the
quality of life of population within and outside the EU and provide clean, efficient and secure energy
to dwellings.

Objectives:
The MPC-: GT project brought together a transdisciplinary team of SMEs, large industry and
research institutes, experienced in research and application of design and control systems in the
combined building and energy world. Based on prior research, supported by (joint) EU and national
projects, and practical experience the bottlenecks where identified that prevent at this moment a real
breakthrough of geothermal heat pumps (GEO-HP) combined with thermally activated building
systems (TABS) - GEOTABS. Solutions, which need to be implemented in an integrated way, were
identified and sufficient proof of concept was gathered to join forces in a RIA.
The innovative concepts aim at increasing the share of low valued (low-grade) energy sources by
means of using low exergy systems on the one hand and aim at upgrading low/moderate
temperature resources on the other hand.
The overall solution consists of an optimal integration of GEOTABS and secondary supply and
emission systems.
To allow for an optimal use of both the GEOTABS and the secondary system, a split will be made
between a so-called “base load” that will be provided by the GEOTABS and the remaining energy
needs that should be supplied by the secondary system. A generic rule, eliminating case-by-case
simulation work, will be developed.
The second part of the proposed solution aims at a white box approach for Model Predictive Control
(MPC) to generate a controller model with precomputed model inputs such as disturbances and
HVAC thermal power to avoid case by case development. Research is needed to assess the overall
performance and robustness of such an approach towards uncertainties.
As such, the MPC-: GT consortium believes to have identified an integrated solution that will provide
a near optimal design strategy for the MPC GEOTABS concept using optimal control integrated
design. The solution will support the industry, especially the SME members, to expand their activities
and strengthen their competitiveness.

Objectives:
In the “secure, clean and efficient energy” initiative, it is stated that the most important milestones for
such a transformation are the EU's energy and climate targets for 2030, which are: (i) at least 40%
reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to 1990, (ii) at least 27% for the share of
renewable energy consumed in the EU, and (iii) at least 27% improvement of energy efficiency and
an electricity interconnection target of 10%[1].The LowUP Project has a two-fold strategy: 1) on one
hand, to target goals (i) and (ii) of these climate challenge with a 42 months duration project where
innovation will be the core activity, and 2), on other hand, to successfully present different
technological solutions which will enable the participation of low grade thermal energy sources in the
energy transition, and improve the efficiency of the Europe Low Exergy systems, not only at building
level but also in industrial applications. Within the LowUP project three different heating and cooling
systems will be developed and demonstrated at relevant environment: HEAT-LowUP (low exergy
heating system directly fed by solar and sewage water recovered heat) COOL-LowUP (low exergy
cooling systems directly fed by renewable and free energy sources) and HP-LowUP ( waste heat
recovery and upgrading via heat pump.) The first two systems are focused on the rational and
efficient use of low valued energy sources for direct implementation in low-exergy heating & cooling
systems for buildings and the third one is focused on the exploitation of low temperature residual
energy, wasted with industrial processes, by upgrading them to generate useful heat to be re-
introduced in the process.
The project will be implemented using the Acciona thermal lab located in Seville where will be
emulated different real cases as the industrial process of a Water treatment plant, an automotive
factory and a retirement house.

Objectives:
The COOL DH project will innovate, demonstrate, evaluate and disseminate technological solutions
needed to exploit and utilise sources of very low-grade ""waste"" heat for heating of energy efficient
buildings via Low Temperature District Heating (LTDH) and show how the District Heating (DH)
systems can be more resource efficient and more energy efficient. The demonstration covers both
new developments and stepwise transition of existing areas with district heating and energy
retrofitting of buildings. The COOL DH consortium consists of the utilities and municipalities of the
two cities Lund (SE) and Høje-Taastrup (DK) and leading DH energy specialists as well as leading
industrial manufacturers.
COOL DH will:
- Innovate, design and build cooling and heat recovery process systems, enabling heat recovery to a
local low-temperature district heating grid. They will mainly be driven by renewables. Design work
will start in 2017 and heat recovery will start in 2019.
- Design and build a low-temperature district heating grid with non-conventional pipe materials and
testing of new innovative pipe components that will become new products introduced as a result of
COOL DH.
- Innovate and design suitable innovative heating systems and controls inside buildings that combine
LTDH with distributed integration of local produced renewable energy on the buildings. Erection of
new buildings in Lund will start in 2018 and will continue throughout the time of this project, while
LTDH in Høje-Taastrup mainly will be for existing buildings being refurbished including modification
of the heating system.
- Develop viable business models and new pricing systems, that ensures a good (low) return
temperature and provide the building companies with maximum flexibility regarding the choice of
heating systems.
- Demonstrate a full system with all needed components suitable for ultra-low DH temperatures (40
oC) incl. demonstration of systems for heating of DHW without risk of legionella.

Objectives:
District heating (DH) systems are one of the most energy efficient heating systems in urban
environments, with proven reliability within many decades already. DHs have traditionally been
designed to be operated in a hierarchized way, with central energy production facilities delivering
heat to a variety of distributed consumption locations.
DHs are identified as key systems to achieve the de-carbonization of heating energy in European
Cities. Renewable and waste heat sources are foreseen at the same time as de-carbonized heat
sources and the way to guarantee competitive energy costs with limited influence of fossil fuel
supply price volatility. To achieve this, conversion of DHs is needed regarding:
- The reduction of their operation temperature to avoid current technical constraints in the integration
of low-grade industrial heat sources,
- The introduction of larger shares of renewable energy sources (RES) in the DH network.
- The introduction of distributed heat sources (reject heat from cooling equipment...).
- To guarantee economic viability with the trend of DH heat load reduction due to the evolution of the
building stock toward NZEB (Near Zero Energy Buildings).
RELaTED will provide an innovative concept of decentralized Ultra-Low Temperature (ULT) DH
networks, which allow for the incorporation of low-grade heat sources with minimal constraints. Also,
ULT DH reduce operational costs due to fewer heat losses, better energy performance of heat
generation plants and extensive use of de-carbonized energy sources at low marginal costs.
The RELaTED ULT DH concept will be demonstrated in four complementary operation
environments (new and existing DH, locations, climatic conditions, dimension…) in Denmark,
Estonia, Serbia and Spain.
RELaTED approach will follow the strategy of the electrical smart grids, in which energy generation
is decentralized and consumers evolve to prosumers (they consume and produce energy).

Objectives:
The technical and economic viability of today’s district heating (DH) networks are undermined by
transitions to highly efficient building stocks and ineffective business models which fail to benefit all
stakeholders. TEMPO tackles this by 1) innovations to create low temperature (LT) networks for
increased network efficiency and integration options for renewable and residual heat sources; and 2)
new business models to boost network competitiveness and attractiveness for stakeholder
investment.
In TEMPO, six innovations related to networks, digitisation thereof and building optimisation undergo
final development (TRL7-8). The innovations are combined into 3 solution packages suitable for 3
different application areas: new LT DH networks in urban areas, new LT DH networks in rural areas,
and existing (HT) networks. The benefits of these solution packages to reduce network temperatures
will be demonstrated in 3 selected representative demos. The Vattenfall demo is a new urban LT
network whereby solution package 1 will be demonstrated to reduce temperatures and therefore to
enable integration of a geothermal energy source and cooling. The Enerpipe demo is a new rural LT
network whereby solution package 2 will be demonstrated to reduce temperatures and so can open
up the possibility to integrate a renewable energy source at a later stage. The existing network of
A2A currently operates at a very high supply temperature. By integrating solution package 3, with
particular emphasis on end consumer engagement, reduction in network temperatures will be
similarly demonstrated. A comparable monitoring approach will ensure optimal network performance
(reliability and durability) assessment and to foster maximal replication options in other areas.
Each solution package will be coupled to an innovative business model, which can leverage cost
savings due to improved energy efficiency to offset the investment costs. Stakeholder engagement
and consumer empowerment will be high pr

Objectives:
THERMOS (Thermal Energy Resource Modelling and Optimisation System) will develop the
methods, data, and tools to enable public authorities and other stakeholders to undertake more
sophisticated thermal energy system planning far more rapidly and cheaply than they can today.
This will amplify and accelerate the development of new low carbon heating and cooling systems
across Europe, and enable faster upgrade, refurbishment and expansion of existing systems.
The project will realise these benefits at the strategic planning level (quantification of technical
potential, identification of new opportunities) and at the project level (optimisation of management
and extension of existing and new systems).
These outcomes will be achieved through:
a) Development of address-level heating and cooling energy supply and demand maps, initially for
the four Pilot Cities, and subsequently for the four Replication partners - establishing a standard
method and schema for high resolution European energy mapping, incorporating a wide range of
additional spatial data needed for modelling and planning of thermal energy systems, and their
interactions with electrical and transport energy systems;
b) Design and implementation of fast algorithms for modelling and optimising thermal systems,
incorporating real-world cost, benefit and performance data, and operating both in wide area search,
and local system optimisation contexts;
c) Development of a free, open-source software application integrating the spatial datasets with the
search and system optimisation algorithms (trialled and tested through the public authorities
representing four Pilot Cities);
d) Supporting implementation of the energy system mapping methodology, and subsequently the
use of the THERMOS software, with a further four Replication Cities/Regions, from three more EU
Member States;
e) Comprehensive dissemination of mapping outputs and free software tools, targeting public
authorities and wider stakeholders across Europe.

Objectives:
HotMaps will develop, demonstrate and disseminate a toolbox to support public authorities, energy
agencies and planners in strategic heating and cooling planning on local, regional and national
levels, and in-line with EU policies. The toolbox will facilitate the following tasks on a spatially
disaggregated level: (1) Mapping heating and cooling energy situation including renewable and
waste heat potentials in GIS layers; (2) Model the energy system, considering hourly matching of
supply and demand, demand response etc.; (3) Supporting the comprehensive assessment of
efficient heating and cooling according to the Energy Efficiency Directive; (4) Comparative
assessment of supply and demand options and of given scenarios until 2050 regarding e. g. CO2-
emissions, costs, share of renewables.
An open data set for EU-28 will be created to perform those tasks in virtually any EU region up to a
250x250m level, which will reduce barriers for authorities to heating and cooling planning. HotMaps
will allow for updating locally available data and links to existing models. The software will be
developed in close cooperation with the target group, within the consortium and beyond. Moreover,
the toolbox will be validated and demonstrated in 7 pilot areas to provide a tested and user friendly
software entirely based on user needs.
In the proposal we present a strategy how to ensure the wide usability, adjustability and application
of the toolbox within and beyond the project duration: (1) The consortium is fully committed to the

Objectives:
Public bodies face the lack of appropriate easy-to-use tools to support them in the definition,
simulation and evaluation of suitable strategies for sustainable heating and cooling tailored to local
conditions for achieving the ambitious targets set-up in their local plans. In light of this, PLANHEAT
main objective is to develop and demonstrate an integrated and easy-to-use tool which will support
local authorities (cities and regions) in selecting, simulating and comparing alternative low carbon
and economically sustainable scenarios for heating and cooling that will include the integration of
alternative supply solutions (from a panel of advanced key technologies for the new heating and
cooling supply) that could balance the forecasted demand. The PLANHEAT integrated tool will be
designed to support local authorities in 1) mapping the potential of locally available low carbon
energy sources (with specific reference to available RES and waste energy recoverable at urban
and industrial level) 2) mapping the forecasted demand for heating and cooling 3) define and
simulate alternative environmentally friendly scenarios based on district heating and cooling as well
as highly efficient cogeneration systems matching the forecasted demand, levering on the use of
RES and waste energy sources and with proven economic viability 4) understanding the interactions
of these new scenarios with the existing infrastructures and networks (among which district heating
and cooling gas, electricity, sewage, transportation) and identify potential for further extension and
upgrade of district heating and cooling networks 5) evaluate the benefits (in terms of energetic,
economic and environmental KPIs) that the adoption of the new scenarios will generate against the
current situation (i.e., baseline). Moreover sound training and replication strategies involving a
number of other public authorities have been set-up towards the empowerment of the expected
project impacts.

Objectives:
"CLEAR 2.0 - enabling Consumers to be Engage with and Adopt Renewable energy technologies.
2.0- is a new project that builds on the learning of an EU funded project IEE13-588 CLEAR.
It will actively guide consumers in the energy market and enable them to be more aware, active
players, save money and easily become ""prosumers"".
The Consortium will accompany consumers through all the stages leading to the purchase and the
correct efficient use of domestic renewable and low-carbon energy technologies. The CLEAR 2.0
project will focus as well on changing behaviour and optimisation of existing installations. The main
needs of a home, including heating/cooling and electricity production (including storage and
monitoring systems) will be addressed through a consumer-centric approach and actions that will
lead to the changing behaviour and form collective consumer groups to support the purchase of
renewable energy technologies such as photovoltaic installations, batteries, pellet stoves and heat
pumps for heating and cooling.
The three major barriers (awareness, behaviour and price) to the investment in RES will be directly
addressed, having as a result a higher consumer engagement.
BEUC and the consumers organisation focus their advocacy work on relevant legislative
developments in order to overcome existing barriers and facilitate consumers’ participation in the
energy market. It will distil policy lessons to create a favourable and stable national and European
policy framework for the benefit of all European consumers."

Objectives:
ASSIST is a 36 month European ‘market activation - policy orientation’ project to tackle fuel poverty
and support vulnerable consumers. It answers the call requirements to actively engage consumers
in the energy market and positively change behaviour in relation to energy consumption and to
influence design of policy at all levels to tackle fuel poverty issues.
Based on the conclusion of the “Energy Citizens’ Forum”, it combines activities that address both
energy and social issues as fuel poverty is not only an energy issue nor can it be tackled in isolation
of the bigger issue of poverty, it will:
Broaden understanding on European fuel poverty incidence and how energy support services are
effectively tackling the issue, identify best practice and needs but also provide a baseline against
which the activity can be compared to demonstrate its effectiveness and to inform work towards
policy orientation.
Create an European network and build this by ensuring quality knowledge and skills of the
Vulnerable Consumer Energy Advisors (VCEA) with a supportive infrastructure for professional
development and experiencing sharing. The VCEA will be in positions of direct contact with the
target group in order to help mainstream energy services and, increase access and uptake for the
fuel poor.
The creation of the VCEA network will also encompass the recruitment of persons with direct
experience of vulnerability/fuel poverty, training them to increase their employability skills but,
moreover, to maximise on the peer to peer benefits that they can offer in provision of advice .
With specialist VCEA and advisory strategic steering committees each nation will undertake target
actions to address the specific issue. In this way the action utilises the powerful effect of target group
ownership of action + bespoke solutions designed in collaboration with the target groups/end users
to deliver important lessons learned for dissemination and policy influence.

Objectives:
Students Achieving Valuable Energy Savings 2 (SAVES2) will catalyse sustainable energy
behaviours among over 219,000 university students in seven countries to help them reduce their
exposure to fuel poverty. It incorporates two strands that engage with students living in university
accommodation (Student Switch Off) and in the private-rented sector (SAVES).
Student Switch Off is an energy-saving competition that will reach 38,000 students living in 144
dormitories in 14 universities of the partner countries in each academic year from 2017/18 to
2019/20. By identifying and training student ambassadors in each dormitory, and by motivating the
ambassadors to encourage their peers to save energy, we will create a race between students in
dormitories, each competing to save the most energy and win prizes. It will tap into online student
communities through social media, using engaging digital communications (quizzes, photo
competitions) to raise awareness of how students can save energy in a fun way. The centrepiece of
each competition will be an energy dashboard that updates students in near-real time on the
performance and position of their dormitory in the competition – providing feedback and encouraging
further action.
The private-rented sector engagement work (SAVES) will reach over 100,000 students when they
are looking for, moving into and living in the private-rented sector. It will enable students to make
better informed decisions at the point at which they are selecting a rental property – thereby routing
purchase decisions towards higher efficiency properties. SAVES2 will incorporate national-level
partnerships with smart meter delivery agencies to develop student-focused communication
materials highlighting the benefits of smart meters. It will provide ongoing advice and support to
students via energy-efficiency and bill management training, peer-to-peer advice sharing via video
blogs and regular e-mail and social media communications.

Objectives:
Achieving the European environmental objectives for 2020 requires not only technological progress,
but also a major change in energy consumption behaviour. The enCOMPASS project will implement
and validate an integrated socio-technical approach to behavioural change for energy saving, by
developing innovative user-friendly digital tools to make energy consumption data available and
understandable for different stakeholders (residents, visitors, public actors, building managers,
utilities and ICT-providers) in ways that empower them to achieve energy savings and manage their
needs in energy efficient, cost-effective and comfortable ways. It will demonstrate how this can be
achieved with a holistic approach that integrates visualisation of energy data collected from smart
sensors, user-generated information and context-aware collaborative recommendations for energy
saving, intelligent control and adaptive gamified incentives.
The enCOMPASS system will be realized as an open platform combining 1) context-dependent
energy usage information from in-home sensors (smart meters and smart home appliances for heat
and electricity), 2) user-generated information (automatic and manual activity tracking), 3) adaptive
gamified energy visualisation and 4) intelligent controls and automation. The platform is developed
to achieve sustainable changes in user energy consumption patterns without compromising comfort
levels. The enCOMPASS system will integrate existing technology, product and service offerings of
the utility and technology partners, customize and extend them to offer improved and new types of
their offerings.
The enCOMPASS platform is the heart of a new business ecosystem that enables players in the
energy domain to develop their own white-label solutions on top of the platform, or to integrate and
use individual services or platform modules. This set-up results in societal, environmental and
economic impact of enCOMPASS above and beyond the reach of the pilots.

Objectives:
"Eco-Bot aims to utilize recent advances in chatbot tools and advanced signal processing (i.e.
energy disaggregation) using low-resolution smart meter-type data with the goal of changing their
behaviour towards energy efficiency. Eco-Bot targets to a personalized virtual energy assistant to
deliver information on itemized (appliance-level) energy usage through a chat-bot tool.
The ""chat-bot"" functionality will be use an attractive frontend interface, permitting seamless
communication in a more natural and interactive way than a traditional mobile application. This way,
Eco-Bot aims to achieve a higher level of engagement with consumers than previous efforts (i.e.
serious games, gamification, competitions or other interactive ICT), by adding a more engaging form
of interaction with existing platforms that has been proven in different market settings.
The proposed system considers knowledge of the delivered multi-factorial models, including
rebound-effects, as a result of the baseline research on both European and International activities.
Then, based on advanced ICT, such as knowledge engineering, machine learning, expert systems,
the project transforms the multi-factorial models for energy reduction to interactive, personalized and
targeted recommendations to consumers on how to save energy.
Eco-Bot uses also existing NILM, e.g. energy disaggregation methods, and data analytics to break
down consumption to the appliance level, where this is possible (smart meters at reasonable
granularity, adequate number of information collected) so as to make consumers aware of their most
energy-consuming devices.
The project will demonstrate the system in three different use cases, each one representing a
different business model (B2B / B2B2C /B2C). We aim to validate our system across real and
diverse conditions such as socio-cultural, environmental, demographic, climate and consumption, so
as to draw concrete conclusions regarding performance, effectiveness, affordability, etc."

Objectives:
Utilities are facing political pressure to reduce the energy end use by their customers and GHG
emissions. Consumers, on the other hand, are empowered by the proliferation of IT interfaces and
multiplication of channels. Their expectations for everything-anytime-anywhere interaction are
redefining the nature of (energy) services. The advent of smart building technologies for energy
efficiency reveal a mega-trend on the evolution of consumer choices and highlight the need for
addressing their requirements for user-friendly, meaningful and actionable communication. Faced
with these realities, business as usual is no longer an option for energy utilities. They must seek new
sources of revenues by introducing bundled building energy management service packages
including energy efficiency, smart controls and automation. The UtilitEE project will provide a
customer-oriented Behavioural Change Framework (Energy-as-a-Service delivery approach via an
open ICT ecosystem integrated into the building with off-the-shelf sensors). It focuses on
discovering, quantifying and revealing energy-hungry activities and conveys meaningful feedback to
engage users into a continuous process of learning and improvement. UtilitEE will leverage well-
known behavioural models/ theories and standardized operational rating/ certification methods. It will
also incorporate human-centric intelligent control features that use occupant comfort profiles and
supportively control HVAC and lights so as to minimize energy waste, while always keeping
occupants comfortable and preserving a healthy indoor environment. The framework will be
validated in real-life conditions by a large population of residential and commercial consumers and
aims to reduce energy use by ~30%. Validation activities will also explore future business models
and go-to-market strategies for utilities. A holistic roadmap and business plan for the exploitation
and replication of project results will be delivered.

Objectives:
eTEACHER concept consists of encouraging and enabling energy behaviour change of building
users by means of continuous interventions displayed through a set of empower tools to drive
informed decisions in order to save energy and optimise indoor environment quality. These
empower tools are a set of ICT solutions that ensures friendly connection in between end-users and
building systems, implement continuous behavioral change interventions and provide tailored
advice. The tools can be classified into BACS (Building Automation and Control Systems) add-ons
and end-user friendly solutions. The BACS add-ons (What-if-Analysis, data processing and universal
BACS/monitoring system interface) are responsible for collecting information from the building, pre-
processing data to focus on relevant metrics related to the use of energy and indoor environmental
quality, exploring potential energy conservation measures (ECMs) and post-processing data in order
to present it in a way that can have more impact on users behavior.The user friendly solutions are
energy efficiency and comfort advisor apps for end-users devices (mobiles, smartTV, smartwatch,
dashboarding). These apps show the ECMs identified by BACS-addons and integrates ICT-based
behavioural change techniques such as gamification (games, challenges, bonus system, energy
literacy, energy visibility, etc.) according to different roles (visitors, facility managers, owner, etc.) as
building users and according to cultural and demographic indicators. An important feature of the
advisor apps is that they collect feedback from end-users regarding comfort and satisfaction that are
used to customise ECMs and engagement techniques. The project is demonstrated in 12 real
buildings located h 3 different climate conditions. The pilots located in Spain are 2 residential
buildings, 2 schools and 2 health care centres. The pilots located in UK are an office building and a
school. The Romania pilots are 4 residential buildings.
