The innovation makes it possible to generate energy when it is more economical or efficient by storing it in a tank with Phase Change Materials (PCM) and then using the energy when it is less efficient to produce.<\/p>\n<p>The project has also addressed digital solutions to enhance the renovation and energy performance of buildings, including data intelligence solutions for making sound decisions at the design stage. Solutions for monitoring the building\u2019s performance after renovation along with new financing models for optimising energy, comfort and cost performance over the life of the building have also been developed.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":150675,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[423,743],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-154734","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-innovation-and-product-development","category-press-notes-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
