COLLECTiEF project

During our consortium meeting in Nicosia, we sat down with our project coordinator Mohammadreza Aghaei to discuss the latest progress and achievements of the COLLECTiEF project. Check out the interview to get an inside look at how COLLECTiEF is shaping the future of #energymanagement and #smartbuildings 📽️ https://lnkd.in/dcVHxVPA #sustainability #climateaction #smartbuildings #energyefficiency #climateresilience #h2020 Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Lund University, The Cyprus Institute, Energy@Work, R2M Solution, EM Systemer AS, NODA Intelligent Systems, Geonardo Environmental Technologies, CSTB, CETMA , LSI LASTEM - Environmental Monitoring Solutions, Ålesund Kommunale Eigedom KF (ÅKE) , Teicosgroup , Virtual Manufacturing Sweden AB, Politecnico di Milano

🤖 Introducing CIRLEM, a novel framework integrating #CollectiveIntelligence and #ReinforcementLearning for smarter energy management By continuously learning and adapting, CIRLEM optimises #energy use and resource allocation, making energy systems more efficient and resilient. Explore how this innovative approach can revolutionise energy management in the face of climate challenges in this paper by Vahid Nik and Mohammad Hosseini 🔗 https://lnkd.in/d-yxKPMJ #sustainability #climateaction #smartbuildings #energyefficiency #buildingperformace #climateresilience #h2020 Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Lund University, The Cyprus Institute, Energy@Work, R2M Solution, EM Systemer AS, NODA Intelligent Systems, Geonardo Environmental Technologies, CSTB, CETMA , LSI LASTEM - Environmental Monitoring Solutions, Teicosgroup , Virtual Manufacturing Sweden AB, Politecnico di Milano

🌍 #COP29 in Baku marks a critical moment in the global fight against climate change, with a strong focus on accelerating #sustainable energy practices As world leaders discuss pathways to #netzero, buildings’ #energyefficiency is a key piece of the puzzle. #Buildings account for nearly 40% of global CO₂ emissions. At COLLECTiEF, we’re working to drive down this number by developing intelligent, energy-efficient systems that make our cities more resilient and reduce carbon footprints Let’s turn commitments into action for a sustainable future! #COP29 #ClimateAction #EnergyEfficiency #SustainableCities

⏪ In September, COLLECTiEF and SATO Project hosted the workshop "Using novel digital technologies to enhance smartness and smart readiness in large non-industrial buildings" at the #SustainablePlaces2024 You can now rewatch all the sessions and download the presentations on the conference website Have a look, in case you missed it or would like to relive our session 👉 https://lnkd.in/dCTFWaAb #smartbuildings #energyefficiency #climateresilience #h2020

🏢👥 Occupant behaviour plays a critical role in #buildings' #energy performance and indoor environmental quality This article written by Marika Vellei, Elie Azar, Karol Bandurski, Christiane Berger, Salvatore Carlucci, Bing Dong, Matteo Favero, Ardeshir Mahdavi and Marcel Schweiker highlights the need for standardised #occupant models to enhance the accuracy and effectiveness of building simulations. By improving these models, we can better predict energy use and optimise building design ⚡ Read more about the future of occupant modelling and its impact on building performance 👉 https://lnkd.in/dfbEGbpW #sustainability #climateaction #smartbuildings #energyefficiency #buildingperformace #climateresilience #h2020 Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Lund University, The Cyprus Institute, Energy@Work, R2M Solution, EM Systemer AS, NODA Intelligent Systems, Geonardo Environmental Technologies, CSTB, CETMA , LSI LASTEM - Environmental Monitoring Solutions, Ålesund Kommunale Eigedom KF (ÅKE) , Teicosgroup , Virtual Manufacturing Sweden AB, Politecnico di Milano

🎃 Happy #WorldCitiesDay and #Halloween! 👻 #WorldCitiesDay serves as a reminder, among others, of the impact that #ClimateChange has on cities and their inhabitants, with more frequent extreme weather phenomena threatening our safety. Both #Biodiversity and the #Environment play a key role in creating safer and healthier spaces for all. Today also marks the end of our joint #UrbanOctober2024 with RESTOREID, where we shared our insights on several key international days. Did you miss any of them? Check out all the posts and resources here: 👉 Welcome to #UrbanOctober: https://lnkd.in/d3MKiPEz 👉 #WorldHabitatDay: https://lnkd.in/dGTcAP5e 👉 Blog post on #WorldMigratoryBirds: https://lnkd.in/gxJrnHqn 👉 Blog post on #DisasterRiskReductionDay: 🎉 Thank you to everyone who joined us this month and, to end on a season-appropriate spooky note—don’t forget that urban biodiversity thrives even in the shadows! 🌕 #UrbanOctober #SustainableCities #YouthAction #HalloweenFun #Biodiversity 

🏙️ #ClimateChange impacts differ widely across European cities This study from Yuchen Y. and Vahid Nik examines how geographical location, urban infrastructure, and policy frameworks influence each city's #resilience. It underscores the importance of integrating climate #adaptation into #UrbanPlanning, supported by solid policies and stakeholder engagement Learn more about strategies to help cities thrive in a changing climate 🔗 https://lnkd.in/d__QrSGr #sustainability #climateaction #smartbuildings #energyefficiency #climateresilience #h2020 Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Lund University, The Cyprus Institute, Energy@Work, R2M Solution, EM Systemer AS, NODA Intelligent Systems, Geonardo Environmental Technologies, CSTB, CETMA , LSI LASTEM - Environmental Monitoring Solutions, Ålesund Kommunale Eigedom KF (ÅKE) , Teicosgroup , Virtual Manufacturing Sweden AB, Politecnico di Milano

⚡ Introducing a new framework to assess the #smartness and #SmartReadinessLevel of highly electrified non-residential #buildings This research showcases how the framework can guide buildings toward greater #energyefficiency and operational improvements by identifying areas for enhancement. With a focus on #electrification and smart technologies, buildings with higher SRL scores are better equipped to manage energy use and optimise operations Read more 👉 https://lnkd.in/d2nBYYwZ Ítalo Aldo Campodónico Avendaño, Kamilla Heimar Andersen, Silvia Erba, Amin Moazami, Mohammadreza Aghaei, Behzad Najafi #SmartBuildings #EnergyEfficiency #Innovation

🌡️ #Thermal comfort is subjective, varying greatly among individuals. This study by Matteo Favero, Antonio Luparelli and Salvatore Carlucci highlights the importance of personalised thermal comfort solutions, urging the design of buildings with flexible #climate controls and real-time feedback systems. The findings call for advanced data collection and statistical analysis to better understand and cater to the diverse needs of occupants, ensuring both #comfort and #energyefficiency 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dsJPc--i
