Sustainable Energy (SE)
Sustainable Energy (SE)
Clean and affordable energy for sustainable cities and communities.
Goal
- Meaningful contributions for the decarbonization path of the energy supply of cities and communities, focusing on three main R&I topics: Energy Efficiency of Buildings, Integration of Renewable Energy, and Gasification of Biomass and Waste.
Key Tasks
- Development of software tools, prototypes and experimental setups
- Experimental and Computational Tests
- Data Analysis & Results Leveraging
Outputs
- Extended simulation models for renewable hybrid solutions
- Improved solutions for the energy and indoor environmental quality monitoring of buildings
