Scope - develop and demonstrate cost-effective low-carbon technological solutions to manage energy within existing buildings and interact with the grid based on user preferences and requests - upgrade existing buildings, either residential or tertiary - demonstrate how the smart systems, smart controls, smart metering and smart appliances can be integrated seamlessly in existing buildings to interface and/or to control the major energy consuming domestic appliances - pilots should involve - several types of domestic appliances and technical building systems with - longer lifecycles (boilers, radiators, DHW preparation, motors for ventilation, windows opening and shading; lighting etc.) - shorter lifecycles (dryers, washing machines, fridges, etc.) - several types of control modes (ON/OFF, power modulation, etc.) possible for a given type of appliance - recharging points for electric vehicles, vehicle-to-grid and other forms of energy storage - proposed solutions should not adversely affect the original functionalities, product quality, lifetime, as well as warranties of the appliances - proposals are expected to include - clear business model development - dynamic pricing or other services and information offered by energy suppliers and/or aggregators - integrations with other energy networks - clear path to finance and deployment - partners with capability and interest to make the developed solution a core part of their business/service model to their clients - solutions should focus on cost-effectiveness and user-friendliness - easy installation and maintenance - maximising consumer comfort (e.g. self-learning) - gains from contributions to grid operation
