Combined development of compact thermal energy storage technologies (COMTES)
Start date: Apr 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2016,
The COMTES project has as goal to develop and demonstrate three novel systems for compact seasonal storage of solar thermal energy. These systems will contribute to the EU 20-20-20 targets by covering a larger share of the domestic energy demand with solar thermal energy.Main objective of COMTES is to develop and demonstrate systems for seasonal storage that are significantly better than water bas ...

EFFECTIVE INTEGRATION OF SEASONAL THERMAL ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEMS IN EXISTING BUILDINGS (EINSTEIN)
Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2015,
Energy use in buildings accounts for approximately 40% of EU energy consumption. Energy efficiency in new buildings is important, but existing building stock is the main target. Existing buildings, however, are characterised by particular requirements and constraints that are not present in new buildings and that requires new developments and adaptation of existing technologies.In order to fulfil ...

HOBBIT - The Mutual Care Robot (HOBBIT)
Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2015,
Description
World players in home care robotics tend to focus on pragmatic single function systems (USA) or humanoid robots (Japan, Korea). HOBBIT zooms in on the interaction between robot and owner/user with a new, more user-centred concept called “Mutual Care". It allows and entices people to "take care" of the robot like a partner, so the ...

An intelligent modular domestic heating and hot water platform that enables effective integration and use of renewable energy systems (SmartHeat)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Jan 31, 2013,
We the SME AGs, represent the European SMEs involved in the design, manufacture and installation of heating, hot water and renewable energy systems (RES). Increasing the uptake of RES is crucial if Europe is to achieve ambitious energy and emission reduction targets. However, despite steep increases in energy prices the uptake of domestic RES is still very limited. The initial investment required ...
