META BUILD – Powering the METAmorphosis of BUILDings towards a decarbonised and sustainable energy system ​

Solutions developed

Concretely, META BUILD will deliver:
• KPI-driven assessment methodology & LCA analysis on building electrification.
• Decarbonisation as a service decision support tool.
• Sound business models combined with energy efficiency and electrification.
• Advanced HP technologies, PVTs & other RES solutions.
• Thermal & second-life battery storage systems.
• Interoperable framework for electrified ready buildings.
• Energy management services for RT-monitoring & performance analytics.
• Demand response, grid interaction & flexibility planning tools.
• Proactive maintenance & controls services.
• Digital Twins for maintaining/enhancing the buildings’ performance.
• Blueprints & policy recommendations for replication & scalability.

Main results

The project expects to reach the following outcomes:
• Increase the application of the Energy Efficiency first principle in construction and renovation of buildings.
• Increase the decarbonisation of building thermal energy demand by means of electrification.
• Enhance buildings energy performance and smart energy management, leading to an increased use of locally generated renewable energy and local energy storage.
• Increase the number of cost-effective solutions for the electrification of building thermal energy demand, with lower costs per building unit and potential for mass roll-out in Europe.
• Foster the building contribution to power grid stability by offering energy flexibility services.
