Horizon 2020 Funding Call – Upgrading smartness of existing buildings through innovations for legacy equipment – closes 10/09/2020, total funding amount €3-4m.

What is the Challenge?

Upgrading the smartness of existing building stock represents a major challenge as we look to transition the role of buildings from consuming energy to actively controlling and optimising indoor environment while contributing to energy system flexibility.

Proposals for this call need to develop and demonstrate cost-effective low-carbon technological solutions to manage energy within existing buildings and interact with the grid providing energy efficiency, flexibility, generation and storage, based on user preferences and requests.

These solutions should be aimed to upgrade existing buildings, either residential or tertiary, using automation and IT to offer new services and control to the building users, thereby improving their comfort and increasing their satisfaction.

Join us to learn about EU funding, innovation in the sector, how you can get involved and how you can be supported to build a successful consortium and develop a compelling bid.
