Service and User Experience Innovation• Ubiquitous interfaces support active users in

– Monitor the consumption and understand the effects of different choices

– Control with more precision power consuming appliances and systems (lights, heating, etc.)

– Share consumption practices in groups and communities. This can create opportunities for learning better practices or incentives for adopting virtuous behaviours.


Introduction• Proposed STREP Project to Call 2• Strategic Objective 6.3 (ICT for Environmental Management and

Energy Efficiency)• Focus c (ICT for Energy Intensive Systems) • New and affordable ICT for Energy-intensive Systems for:

– Design and simulation of energy use profiles covering the entire life-cycle of energy-intensive products, services and processes

– Intelligent and interactive monitoring of energy production, distribution, trading and use

– Innovative tools, business models and platforms for energy efficiency service provision

– Focus on • Efficient management of local power grids• Energy-neutral home/working environments
