Objective The existing building stock in European countries accounts for over 40% of final energy consumption in the European Union (EU) member states, of which residential use represents 63% of total energy consumption in the buildings sector. In this scenario, the EcoThermo proposal will address specific needs and will pursue challenges in order to introduce breakthrough technologies into the market.The EcoThermo project aims to develop a smart thermoregulatory system aimed at optimizing the heat/cooling energy consumption and perform smart and accurate cost allocation to be applied in already existing (old) buildings where the heating/cooling system is centralized, without independent control and independent cost allocation even with a vertical pipeline distribution (i.e. each radiator connected to a different vertical pipe) avoiding the batteries and devices disposal and at the same time preserving a heating/cooling cost allocation really based on the user/flat thermal energy demand.Main Scientific Achievement: to research physical and mathematical models aimed to estimate with high accuracy the real demand of thermal energy by users (radiators, flats, etc.) connected to a common thermal generator and thermal distribution network and avoiding the usage of the traditional heat cost allocators (for each radiator) as well as the heat meters (for each flat); to research the physical phenomena in order to develop breakthrough technologies to electrically power flow control devices, such as radiator electronic valves, by the mean of transducers applied in main pipeline section and on board of the same peripheral control devices, avoiding the usage of batteries and the plug-in of the same devices to the grid and estimate the lowest energy demand for the most energy consumption device to be powered without plugging it on the electric power network Fields of science engineering and technologyelectrical engineering, electronic engineering, information engineeringelectrical engineeringelectric energyengineering and technologyenvironmental engineeringenergy and fuelsrenewable energyengineering and technologymechanical engineeringthermodynamic engineeringnatural sciencesphysical sciencesclassical mechanicsfluid mechanicsfluid dynamicsnatural sciencesmathematicsapplied mathematicsmathematical model Programme(s) FP7-SME - Specific Programme "Capacities": Research for the benefit of SMEs Topic(s) SME-2012-1 - Research for SMEs Call for proposal FP7-SME-2012 See other projects for this call Funding Scheme BSG-SME - Research for SMEs Coordinator SOFT-IN SRL Address Strada antica di none 2/4 a 10092 Beinasco Italy See on map Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Sergio Rofi Pallone (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window EU contribution No data Participants (9) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all K2N LTD United Kingdom EU contribution € 273 686,00 Address Thornton rd girton 47 CB3 0NP Cambridge See on map Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Andrew Knight (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data TESCO SW AS Czechia EU contribution € 299 117,88 Address Tr kosmonautu 1288/1 hodolany 779 00 Olomouc See on map Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Marek Vaculik (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data POLITECNICO DI TORINO Italy EU contribution € 14 732,80 Address Corso duca degli abruzzi 24 10129 Torino See on map Region Nord-Ovest Piemonte Torino Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Francesca Maccario (Ms.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data ISTITUTO NAZIONALE DI RICERCA METROLOGICA Italy EU contribution € 18 520,00 Address Strada delle cacce 91 10135 Torino See on map Region Nord-Ovest Piemonte Torino Activity type Research Organisations Administrative Contact Alberto Silvestri (Dr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data CLEOPA GMBH Germany EU contribution € 21 280,00 Address Ahornstrasse 83a 16727 Velten See on map Region Brandenburg Brandenburg Oberhavel Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Detlef Olschewski (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data UNIVERZITA PALACKEHO V OLOMOUCI Czechia EU contribution € 12 400,00 Address Krizkovskeho 8 771 47 Olomouc See on map Region Česko Střední Morava Olomoucký kraj Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Pavel Tucek (Dr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data BETRONIC SOLUTIONS BV Participation ended Netherlands EU contribution € 4 970,32 Address Pedro de medinalaan 11 1086 XK Amsterdam See on map Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Johan Vonk (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data PRO S3 SRL Italy EU contribution € 4 800,00 Address Corso luigi einaudi 37 10129 Torino to See on map Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Camatti Daniele (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data INGENIA SRL Italy EU contribution € 476 947,33 Address Via valdieri 32 10139 Torino See on map Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Federico Bari (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data
