EnergyVille has developed a number of products and tools to support decision making and to monitor the impacts from building renovation and energy transition programmes and initiatives. These tools allow to shift between various levels of details/scope: from the building …

City Portal is an interactive and smart platform with building data for collective renovation of residential buildings at district, city, provincial and regional level. In 2019 Fluvius provides this tool to all cities and municipalities in Flanders as a free service.

Increasingly more buildings and building districts combine several energy sources, both renewable and fossil, with different energy carriers such as electricity and heat. As a result, the integration and interactions of these different sources and carriers become more …

An EPD (environmental product declaration) is a standardized way to quantify the environmental performance of a product, process or system and to report on it. EPD’s are based on a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).

There are many ways to make a house more energy efficient: insulate better, install a heat pump ... The EBECS algorithms of VITO/EnergyVille provide specific advice based on the size of the house and the energy consumption of the residents. Bank-insurer KBC, Cozie’s …

The European STRATEGO project helped national and local authorities to develop a policy vision for sustainable heating and cooling plans. Although the demand for heat is twice as high as the demand for electricity, the heating policy is just starting to be developed, while …

STORM tackles energy efficiency at district level. It aims to demonstrate that, thanks to a smart District Heating & Cooling (DHC) networks’ controller, energy savings can reach up to 30%. In that perspective, the project partners will develop a controller based on self …

GeoWatt researches fourth-generation thermal grids for balancing the local demand of groups of users for heat or cold with the available supply.

In the SmarThor project, EnergyVille is developing an ICT platform that can control a fully integrated multi-energy system, using EnergyVille’s own algorithms. We aim for real-life and properly functioning demos in residential areas or industrial sites with an optimally …

The EU-funded EUniversal project will enable the transformation of the electricity grid by resolving existing limitations in the energy system through the introduction of a universal market enabling interface (UMEI). The project’s aim is a new multi-energy and multi-consumer …

The CoordiNet project will help to demostrate how DSOs and TSOs shall act in a coordinated manner and use the same pool of resources to procure grid services in the most reliable and efficient way through the implementation of large scale “TSO-DSO-Consumer” demonstrations …

MAGNITUDE aims to develop business and market mechanisms as well as supporting coordination tools to provide flexibility to the European electricity system, by increasing and optimizing synergies between electricity, gas and heat systems.
