Risultati finali

Documents, reports (8)

Report on dissemination to policy makers

This Deliverable is a public report showing the outcome of the activities carried out with policy-makers at local, national and Eu scale. At least two opinion papers will be produced to support the development of policies in this field, and will be included in this deliverable.A first version of this Deliverable will be ready at M24. Then, at M56, a final updated version will be delivered.

Certificates of successful testing

This Deliverable corresponds to the issue of the certificates showing the correct operation of all the prototypes for the e-SAFE components.

Report with e-SAFE requirements

This public report will include the main functional, structural and aesthetic features of the e-SAFE technical components needed to ensure their effectiveness, acceptability and actual compliance with EU regulations. The content of this deliverable will be the strating point for the design of the e-SAFE technical components.

Report with the preliminary co-design outcome

This Deliverable will include the outcomes of the preliminary co-design activities for the real pilot, performed with the help of the early version of the e-DSS.

Renovation space representational model V2.0

This Deliverable is a report that describes the final representational model for the Decision Support System (e-DSS). This second version of the model will be used to work on the final version of the e-DSS (see D4.5).

Report of the co-learning & engagement activities

UNICT facilitators will produce a public report with the results of the co-learning activities during the participative co-design of the real pilot, inclusive of co-analysis, co-design and ex-post evaluation issues.

Report on e-SAFE Dissemination activities

This Deliverable is a report showing the outcomes of the dissemination and communication activities thorugh the project. The first version, delivered at M24, will include the outcomes for the first two years; then, at M60, a final updated version will be delivered.

Call for interest for virtual pilots

This deliverable corresponds to the launch of a public call for expression of interest, to be widely distributed in a variety of languages throughout Europe. The call will ask European building owners and real estate brokers to declare an interest in having one of their properties used as a virtual pilot in the context of e-SAFE.

Other (3)

Final integrated e-BEMS

This Deliverable corresponds to the final version of the e-BEMS (Building Energy Management System), which will be then used for monitoring and management activities in the real pilot.

e-SAFE DSS - first complete version

This is the first complete version of the e-DSS, delivered at M15 and used during the co-design stage of the real pilot.

e-SAFE BEMS early version

This Deliverable corresponds to the first and early version of the e-BEMS (Building Energy Management System).

Demonstrators, pilots, prototypes (3)

3D physical and digital models for the real pilot

Physical and digital 3D models of the construction sites for the real pilot are necessary to easily involve the local stakeholders in all activities concerning co-design, demonstration and education.

Detailed survey of the real pilot

During the first two semesters, detailed data gathering activities will be performed on the real pilot. In particular, a complete survey of the building will be carried out through laser scan and drone technologies, and energy bills will be collected and analysed. This Deliverable will then include all plans and detailed drawings needed for the following co-design activities.

BIM-based abacus of solutions

UNICT and UNIBO will convert the e-SAFE components designed in Task 3.3 into BIM models that will contribute to populate a BIM-based abacus. The abacus will include different finishing layers for the panels.

Websites, patent fillings, videos etc. (3)

e-SAFE website

This is the public project website for general communication purposes, both internal and external. A responsive design will be used to ensure a versatile use also on mobile devices. After its first release at M4, it will be revised twice: hence, updated versions of the website will be released at M24 and M58.

e-SAFE engagement portal

Amongst the web-based tools needed for engaging the local stakeholders, the e-SAFE engagement portal, developed in synergy with the project web-site, includes a user-friendly digital participatory GIS-based mapping platform.

e-SAFE visual material

This Deliverable consists in customised materials, tools, and templates developed to convey an effective project image and brand. It also includes a video presenting the e-SAFE concept and objectives, released at M4.A second video will be produced at the end of the project (M58) to showcase the work done, that is to say the pilot works, interviews with owners and occupants, financial scheme and business model.

Open Research Data Pilot (1)

Open Research Data repository

The Open Research Data repository is needed to comply with ORDP requirements set out in Article 29.3 of the Grant Agreement. This repository will be populated by the partners with data and metadata coming from research and monitoring activities, needed to validate the results presented in scientific publications. These research data will be accessible to third parties, free of charge, upon registration. The most convenient format for the ORD repository will be defined by the partners by M9: most probably, the repository will be managed through a dedicated section of the project website.
