HOMES levers for active energy efficiency
How to reduce energy needs and CO2 emissions
Communications, electronics and information have revolutionized our day-to-day lives: for our entertainment, communication, travel… These technologies are at the heart of the HOMES solutions.
In order for each building to achieve top energy performance, the HOMES programme is designing affordable solutions that are easy to implement and utilise. Pervasive technologies provide sensors and powerful communication and computation tools.
The 3 avenues for HOMES research:
  • Optimised equipment control.
  • Systematic measurement of real performance.
  • Efficient design and implementation tools.
Solutions whereby all existing buildings can be upgraded to acceptable performance levels and very high performance levels can be targeted for new buildings.
