Energy saving information platform (ENERsip), ICT Infrastructure for energy-positive buildings and neighbourhoods

Abstract

Industrial development and global energy consumption growth have impacted dramatically the energy market as well as the environment. Therefore, energy positive buildings supporting matching of energy consumption and generation (energy efficiency) have become a hot topic all over the world. The EU R&D project ENERsip aims to design, develop and deploy an open ICT platform for energy-positive buildings and neighborhoods. The main impact of the ENERsip platform will be the energy consumption reduction achieved by coordinating the actual users needs with the in-buildings and neighborhoods positive-energy generation.
