A solid team to expedite energy efficiency (EE) and electrification in the building sector
Comprising 38 partners from 13 European countries and associated regions, our consortium unites a diverse group of professionals and experts. Among them there are:
1. Engineers with backgrounds in electrical, mechanical, civil engineering, and architecture, who develop and implement EE technologies, heat pumps (HPs), renewable energy sources (RES), and storage systems
2. Technical experts and digital scientists specialising in data science, computer science, and information technology, who create integrated solutions, advanced data analytics, machine learning algorithms, and digital tools for optimising energy consumption and enhancing building performance
3. Policy and decision makers, including governmental representatives and associations
4. Social and humanities scientists.
