DOMOS DOMOS - OPERATING SYSTEM FOR SMART SERVICES IN BUILDINGS Digitisation in existing buildings is not as widespread as in other sectors. A consequence is that buildings owners and occupants have generally a limited understanding of their building as an energy system. Improving the energy efficiency of existing buildings can and should be achieved through deep renovation. In comparison, smart technologies can increase the efficiency and the flexibility of buildings in a shorter term and with much less investments. The domOS project addresses the smart building sector through two axes. Learn more...
POWERSKIN+ POWERSKIN+ - WALLS ENERGIZING BUILDINGS Starting from TRL5 technology, the ultimate objective of the 4-year project is to generate a set of POWERSKIN+ hybrid-enabled system prototypes and demonstrate them in an operational environment (TRL7), thus treading the path for future exploitation of the Plus Energy Non-residential Buildings, as the primary market entrance.
