ComActivate: Enabling Community Action for Energy Sufficiency

ComActivate responds to growing levels of energy poverty across the EU, especially in the CEE region, by addressing the poor energy efficiency of buildings as a major driver of energy poverty, and as a driver of climate change. The project aims to ensure the energy sufficiency of vulnerable people living in multi-family apartment buildings in Central and Eastern Europe by developing best practices for clean energy production, consumption and efficiency measures at neighbourhood level.

AmBIENCe – Actively Managed Buildings with Energy Performance Contracting

Ambience aims to extend the concept of Energy Performance Contracting to Active Buildings and making it available and attractive to a wider range of buildings. AmBIENCe will provide new concepts and business models for performance guarantees of Active Buildings, combining savings from energy efficiency measures with additional savings and earnings resulting from the active control of assets leveraging for instance price based incentive contracts (Implicit Demand Response).

Funding: European Commission – H2020
