iBECOME project

iBECOME is a 42 month Horizon 2020 project which aims at demonstrating a combination of novel technologies and new business models in the form of a virtual Building Management System (vBMS) for optimizing buildings energy performance and comfort conditions, while reducing the operational costs by leveraging demand response. The vBMS will utilise both physics-based dynamic building simulation and data-based ML techniques to optimise thermal and visual comfort, energy performance and flexibility while its openness will be accommodating 3rd parties to make use of its functionalities and data to provide additional type of services. Smart meters and smart thermostats along other ICT technologies (e.g. IoT devices) enable the deployment of those services to any building and facility. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement no. 894617.
