HEART

The HEART incorporates different components and technologies, which cooperate to transform an existing building into a smart-building.In developing this toolkit, the project advances and improves energy efficiency and renewable energies in buildings across Europe, particularly in Central and Southern Europe, where climate change leads to increased electricity consumption both during the summer and winter seasons.How does HEART contribute?

• Improves the European building renovation process by simplifying it.
• Reduces total energy consumption, integrates renewable energy and rationalizes energy flow between buildings and smart grids.
• Involves stakeholders, supports energy financing as well as the utilization of renewable energy.
• The concept can be extended to new residential buildings, in addition to existing buildings.
