SmartSPIN

SmartSPIN is a EU-funded project that received a grant of €2 million from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme to develop, test, validate and exploit a new business model for a greater uptake of Smart Energy Services (SES) deployed via performance-based contracting in the commercial rented sector. SmartSPIN removes this barrier through an Energy Efficiency-as-a-Service (EEaaS) concept that couples the contractual agreements between tenants, building owners and energy efficiency providers with technologies for energy monitoring, management and measurement and verification (M&V), increasing transparency, credibility and persistence of savings. SmartSPIN brings together a consortium of leading experts from the whole value chain to develop the SmartSPIN business model toolkit: a set of tools and resources for stakeholders on both the supply side (energy service companies, M&V specialists, etc.) and the demand side (tenants, building owners etc.) of the value chain.
