CITIES invites to Workshop / Webinar August 12, 2020, 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM CEST
In the quest for fossil-free cities and a fossil-free building sector, there is continued need to maximise energy efficiency of buildings and energy systems in cities. Even the limited energy use should to a maximum possible extent come from renewable sources, and the classical challenge of balancing demand and supply becomes an issue, which calls for flexible operation of all units.
Contemporary digital and data-driven methods are key to optimize the operation of buildings and district energy systems such that use of fossil fuels can be minimized without compromising on comfort and functionality of the built environment. The workshop will give an overview of potentials and state-of-the-art technologies in the field.
The solution for analysis of heating data is an analytical tool for treating and integrating of big data collected from smart meters, socio-economic data, energy informations and building models. This treatment tool enables to quantify and characterize energy consumption of entire districts and cities.
The solution “Energy demand modeling in buildings” offers methodologies for the modeling of energy demand and flexibility potentials for whole districts and cities. It includes a tool for bottom-up classification of buildings in a given area into certain types, which can be sum up and modeled by aggregation to ensure higher energy flexibility.
The smart house controller solution includes a cloud-based approach for integration of energy systems powered by the intelligent use of data. The smart house controller is a facilitator, not only of smarter energy consumption in domestic houses, but also for a better integration of different energy source supplies.
