In the context of Enlit Europe that was held in Paris from November 28 to 30, UBITECH participated in the OneNet project session. The vision of OneNet is to provide a seamless integration of all the actors in the electricity network across Europe to create the conditions for a synergistic operation that optimizes the overall energy system while creating an open and fair market structure. This synergistic process is enabled by open IT architectures that guarantee continental level interoperability. This new open architecture will provide new market mechanisms encouraging new business models which will be developed to support both large population areas and small- and medium-sized DSOs and TSOs, in Europe.

In the context of Enlit Europe that was held in Paris from November 28 to 30, UBITECH organized the BEYOND project final event. The BEYOND project, for which UBITECH carries out the overall project coordination, offers a big data platform and a set of technologies that allow a data consumer to search, find and utilize data generated by buildings (data owners). Based on these, the data consumers can run analytics and simulations that are needed to design a project and exploit them during the real-time operation of the buildings so as to optimize their operation and energy performance.

UBITECH ENERGY participates at the kick-off meeting hosted by CERTH (November 9 & 10, 2023) in Thessaloniki, Greece of the EVELIXIA Innovation Action, officially started on November 1st, 2023. The project is funded by the European Commission (Grant Agreement No. 101123238) and spans on the period October 2023 – September 2027. The EVELIXIA project envisions to realize Buildings as Active Utility Nodes (BAUNs), rendering the EU Building stock as: a) energy efficient; b) connected, by facilitating a two-way communication between the grid and the occupants, capitalizing on flexible technologies; c) smart, by utilizing analytics supported by sensors and controls to co-optimize efficiency, flexibility, and occupant preferences; and d) flexible, reducing, shifting, or modulating energy use according to occupant needs, while considering utility signals.

The GINNGER consortium marked the initiation of its project activities during the official project kick-off meeting held on November 8th and 9th, 2023, in Zaragoza, Spain. This significant event convened over 40 representatives from 20 project partners across various European countries. During this inaugural gathering, the consortium formally launched their ambitious undertaking. In particular, the GINNGER Innovation Action (funded by the Horizon Europe Research and innovation funding programme of the European Commission – Grant Agreement Nr 101123324) aspires to ease the regeneration of neighbourhoods and built environments through the implementation of co creation processes in heterogeneous stakeholders’ structures. This will facilitate the planification and implementation of actions in local environments, leading to a reduction of social, environmental, technological and economic risks thus to deliver healthy, affordable and sustainable built environments in EU.
