Energy Efficiency
In the European Union, households account for 27.4% of final energy consumption and significantly impact peak demand. To manage this variation and avoid power supply interruptions, utility companies often need to increase energy generation. Flexible consumption in the residential sector can help by leveraging buildings' thermal energy storage and power management capabilities, enhancing energy demand flexibility.
Residential demand response can reduce reliance on fossil fuel power plants and support renewable energy integration by providing grid stability and management. The project combines advanced ICT technologies with social, behavioral, sharing economy, and innovative governance and business models.
