Final Event of domOS
Boosting the Deployment of Smart Energy Services in Buildings: Challenges, Opportunities and Barriers
On the 8th of February, the domOS project final event took place online. Hosted as a webinar, this milestone gathering was co-organized by FENIX TNT, the dissemination and communication leader of the project, HES-SO, the coordinator of the project, and BUILD UP.
The event began with a welcome from BUILD UP and Zuzana Taťáková from FENIX TNT, setting the stage for an insightful exploration of smart energy solutions. Zuzana then introduced the agenda of the webinar and set the stage for Dominique Gabioud to deliver an overview of the project's vision and contributions to the energy transition. Structured into three sessions, the webinar featured speakers from both within and beyond the domOS consortium.
1. Session "Interoperability in smart buildings" delved into the technical aspects of making existing buildings smarter. Frédéric Revaz from HES-SO explained the domOS approach, followed by Christoph Brönnimann from the SmartGrid ready association and Stéphane Rey from WAGO, offering valuable insights into achieving interoperability and industrializing smart services.
2. Session "Buildings and the Electricity Grid" explored the relationship between buildings and the evolving electricity grid. August Bech from Green Power Denmark, Olivier Genest from the BRIDGE initiative, and Matija Arh from INEA shared their perspectives on the role of intelligent buildings and leveraging building flexibility for grid services.
3. Session "Increasing energy efficiency through Smart Services" focused on leveraging smart technologies to enhance energy efficiency. Felix Bünning from viboo kicked off the session, followed by Henrik Stærmose from NEOGRID Technologies, Christian Byrjalsen from Aalborg Forsyning, and Yves Stauffer from Centre Suisse d'Electronique et de Microtechnique (CSEM), shedding light on various aspects of energy services and efficient heat generation.
Each session ended in a podium discussion moderated by the domOS Technical Manager, Matija Arh, facilitating an exchange of ideas and questions between the speakers and the audience. As the event drew to a close, the host Zuzana Taťáková expressed gratitude to the speakers, audience, and BUILD UP for their invaluable contributions. The audience was invited to further engage through the domOS website and social media channels and the release of the Final domOS video was announced.
