Our colleague, Vasso Kontou, and partners from the SRI-ENACT project participated in the 2nd Joint Event on the Smart Readiness Indicator, hosted by the European Commission on October 8th in Brussels, Belgium. The event brought together key stakeholders to discuss the future of smart buildings and the role of the Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) in enhancing energy efficiency. The SRI offers a framework to assess and improve buildings' smartness, contributing to a more resilient energy ecosystem. It's inspiring to see collaboration across different sectors aimed at fostering innovation and sustainable practices.

The World Economic Forum suggests that a key approach to creating a smart city is through “prioritizing innovation and the use of technology to address changes”. Univers has been working with JTC Corporation and its appointed Facility Management Companies (FMCs) to drive the adoption of Smart Facilities and Energy Management Technologies. These initiatives aim to increase labor productivity and energy efficiency, moving towards Smart Net Zero Districts. AI-driven performance analytics enable the early detection and diagnostics of key mechanical and electrical faults, energy wastage, carbon emissions and more, allowing for predictive maintenance and workflow-driven auto-optimization of labor, equipment & energy.

Invited Speaker at #GridServiceMarket Symposium 2024 in Lucerne, Switzerland Gesa Milzer, Senior Project Manager at NODESmarket She will speak on the topic: 🔷 OPENTUNITY CREATES OPPORTUNITIES – NODESTM FLEXIBILITY MARKET SOLUTIONS IN GREECE, SWITZERLAND AND SPAIN🔷 The EU Horizon project OPENTUNITY aims to improve system interoperability, secure and reliable data exchange among grid operators and prosumers using common format and system standards to reduce system integration efforts and costs via an interconnected flexibility ecosystem. Flexibility markets are an important component to such an ecosystem as they enable grid operators to use distributed flexibility to manage their grids while Flexibility Service Providers can monetize on their flexibility availability. Flexibility markets may thus improve grid resiliency and help to optimize operational costs while avoiding expensive grid investments. NODESTM market and technology solutions facilitate access to flexibility across all grid levels and coordination among grid operators to utilize the currently unused flexibility potential. In the Opentunity flexibility market pilots in Spain, Switzerland, and Greece NODESTM presents market solutions to enable the use of distributed flexibility for grid services while providing a level playing field for all asset types.   Flexibility, TSO-DSO Coordination, Flexibility Market, Market Coordination, System Interoperability Are you interested?
