Roughly half of the energy is consumed in buildings and therefore has high potential to reduce the climate impact and to increase the reliability of energy networks when smart solutions are used. The fastest effictive means to achieve this is the use of numerous energy meters and sensors for smart control of building service systems. In this project, we map smart energy-efficiency and flexibility technologies with the highest potentias, describe the meters and sensors required for the applications and develop guidelines for constructing and renovating buildings for technology readiness. This reduces the cost of integrating the smart services with buildings and increases the overall potential of market uptake. We create models to assess the impact of these smart services for more effective R&D and for reliable assessment of the impact of the services. We will develop new services in cooperation with the companies and students of TalTech to conquer the world.
