INCITE BEHAVIOR CHANGE TOWARDS MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT HABITS
Through recommendation and challenges, in combination with sensors and smart meters, the project will incite and lead to behavior change in the end-consumers of energy.
Outcome: more energetically efficient habits.
DEVELOP AN OPEN PLATFORM STANDARDIZED FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY ACTIONS
EcoCASA will consist of a Cloud platform with a social machine motor that will process human interactions and provide an interface for energy efficiency.
Outcome: a platform that sustains energy efficient actions.
SHOW A DRASTIC REDUCTION IN THE CONSUMPTION OF ENERGY AND EMISSIONS
The predicted savings on the recommendations and challenges proposed will be between 15% and 21%, reaching 30% with automation and large scale control.
Outcome: measurable and documented energy savings.
TO TEST AND REFINE THE DEVELOPED TOOLS IN REALISTIC CONDITIONS
The platform will first be evaluated in a laboratory during 3 months and will then be tested in real-life context for another 9 months.
Outcome: tools tested in real-life context.
DEMONSTRATE THE PROFITABILITY OF THE PROPOSED SOLUTION
The developed platform will be offered together with air conditioning systems and security to improve comfort, added-value and appeal of the actions.
Outcome: a range of solutions extended to systems.
