Sustainable Places 2020, October 27 – 30, 2020, digital event

Sustainable Places 2020, October 27 – 30, 2020, digital event

Sustainability targets and climate change objectives cannot be met without addressing buildings and the built environment at the building, district and urban scale to include our transport and energy infrastructures. Renowned for showcasing results coming out of the EU Horizon 2020 Framework Programme via the participation of cutting-edge research and innovation projects, the scope of Sustainable Places is captured directly in its name. It involves designing, building and retrofitting the places we live and work in a more sustainable way.

Sustainable Places prides itself on being an ideal platform for the dissemination of research, the conduct of workshops, EU project clustering and networking between stakeholders of all types. SP2020 will be held over four days (October 27 – 30, 2020) in digital event format. Between opening and closing keynote sessions, parallel technical sessions and project-organized workshops will be held on conference topic areas.

Workshop Challenges city and energy, May 21, 2019, Madrid

Workshop Challenges city and energy, May 21, 2019, Madrid
On the occasion of the meeting of the participating partners in the European research project SABINA in Madrid, the University of Navarra organizes 21/5/2019 an open workshop where the current Spanish and European energy context and the energy challenges they face will be discussed. The SABINA Project (SmArt BI-directional multi eNergy gAteway, https://sabina-project.eu/), funded under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, responds to the current need to add flexibility to the European energy system. SABINA aims at allowing a massive integration of intermittent renewable energy sources on the grid by taking advantage of the cheapest possible source of flexibility: existing thermal inertia in buildings.

In Spain, the recent approval of Royal Decree 244/2019, of April 5, which regulates the administrative, technical and economic conditions of the electric power self-consumption, is an important boost to the self-consumption of renewable energies. On this workshop it will be discussed how to maximize the self-consumption of renewable energy to achieve the objectives of the European Union for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

The workshop has a first block where speakers at European level, large companies in the Spanish energy sector and architects of recognized prestige in the field of energy efficiency, will participate in a panel discussion providing their vision of the current energy scenery and the challenges of the near future linked to the Spanish and European energy system. In a second block, the SABINA project will be presented as an example of response to this energy context.

More information including registration link is available here.

Workshop on Building Energy Models (BEMs) and Model Predictive Control (MPC), January 30, 2019, Derio

Workshop on Building Energy Models (BEMs) and Model Predictive Control (MPC), January 30, 2019, Derio
FHP H2020 project together with MOEEBIUS and SABINA H2020 projects are organising first FHP national technical workshop that will be focused on Building Energy Models (BEMs) and MPC implementations in real world applications. The workshop will be organised at Tecnalia (Derio, Spain) on the January 30, 2019.
BEMs describe the thermal response of buildings, providing an estimation of the energy needed to keep them in comfort conditions. The different techniques used for this purpose will be explained, ranging from physical to machine learning modeling, as it is crucial to understand them to know when to apply the different model techniques on different scenarios. Model Predictive Controllers (MPCs), based on BEMs, are a key element in the process of improving the operational performance of HVACs and Building Management Systems (BMSs). The challenge nowadays is to increase their reliability, affordability and integrability, but this target is being pursued using different implementation strategies. These strategies will be revised so as to know their advantages and disadvantages.
Registration form including the detailed programme (in Spanish) is available here.
