IoTWINS project
IoTwins is an European project that will work to lower the barriers for the uptake of Industry 4.0 technologies to optimize processes and increase productivity, safety, resiliency, and environmental impact. IoTwins approach is based on a technological platform allowing a simple and low-cost access to big data analytics functionality, AI services and edge cloud infrastructure for the delivery of digital twins in manufacturing and facility management sectors.

Heating System Calculator supporting the decision-making of consumers
How to make the right decision when you need to change your heating system? This calculation tool, developed within the REPLACE project, can help you to objectively compare heating system for your building over the entire operating life. The resulting actual costs and environmental energy performance can support your final decision.

What more can policymaker do to reduce energy losses in buildings?
In order to address the energy and climate crisis, it is important to boost the energy efficiency potential of technical building systems, and this should be taken into account in the recast of the EPBD. How can heat recovery in domestic hot water system be improved? What about the electrical installations?

Using Textile Reinforced Mortar (TRM) interventions in Masonry Constructions: CONNECT Project
Most buildings in Europe, particularly those of significant architectural or historical value, are traditional masonry constructions. Strengthening interventions are often needed to improve their structural response against seismic actions. CONNECT project proposes Textile Reinforced Mortar (TRM) interventions as the solution and how to correctly design them.

How is Education Shaping the Future of Smart Building?
What defines a smart building? Are there enough trainings and workshops dedicated to the upskilling of the smart construction students and workforce? The SmartBuilt4EU H2020 funded project aims to emphasize the importance of skills development and education in the construction and energy efficiency sectors, identify the remaining gaps, and explore solutions to implement in the very next years.
