The proposal should:

• Develop new or enhance existing solutions for interoperability of systems, including between building automation and control systems (BACS) and other technical building systems and devices (including IoT ones), as well as between buildings and the grid.
• Investigate innovative approaches to ensure high level of security and privacy by design in buildings.
• Investigate approaches to reduce costs of systems allowing the integration of energy efficiency, renewables, storage and their optimisation.
• On the basis of the above, demonstrate the potential for energy savings from energy management solutions based on smart technical building systems (predictive controllers, smart thermostats, active sensors, smart lighting, etc.).
• Demonstrate that the developed solutions are user-friendly and ensure the desired indoor environment quality and user satisfaction.
• Where possible, demonstrate that such solutions can build flexibly on services/products not originally intended for energy management (e.g. a smart home system).
• Seek to ensure from the design phase that the project is developed with a view to integrate its results/deliverables under a digital building logbook.
