Take the energy bill back to the promised building performance (TRIBUTE)
Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2017,
Today, Building Energy Performance Simulation (BEPS) analysis tends to show a large discrepancy with real energy performance. Most cases are due to gross mistakes rather than fundamental inadequacy of available technology and methods. The reasons are manifold. Highly simplified calculation methods are used far beyond their domain of validity. Assumed boundary conditions such as occupant behaviour ...

Simulation based control for Energy Efficiency building operation and maintenance (Energy IN TIME)
Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2017,
Buildings Operational stage represents 80% of building’s life-cycle cost of which 50% is consequence of the energy use. Up to 90% of the buildings’ life cycle carbon emissions occur during their operational phase, mainly as consequence of the HVAC, lighting and appliances’ energy use. Therefore, energy and cost saving strategies addressing this building operation phase will have a major impact in ...

Dependable Embedded Wireless Infrastructure (DEWI)
Start date: Mar 1, 2014, End date: Feb 28, 2017,
DEWI (dependable embedded wireless infrastructure) envisions to significantly foster Europe’s leading position in embedded wireless systems and smart (mobile) environments such as vehicles, railway cars, airplanes and buildings. These environments comprise wireless sensor networks and wireless applications for citizens and professional users. Therefore the consortium introduces the concept of a “s ...

MANpower - Energy Harvesting and Storage for Low Frequency Vibrations (MANpower)
Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2016,
Energy harvesting at low frequency has proven to be difficult to achieve in the past because of the properties of the materials that the devices are fabricated from. In particular the stiffness of conventional silicon and all piezoelectric materials makes it exceedingly difficult to make a system that can operate below 100Hz. There are many sources of low frequency vibrations e.g. human motion, th ...
