Smarter buildings as part of the energy system for increased efficiency and flexibility

This call promotes innovation in smart building technologies that integrate renewable energy sources, enhance energy efficiency, and improve grid flexibility. Proposals must demonstrate solutions in diverse environments while addressing energy demand reduction, user-friendliness, and occupant comfort. Emphasis is placed on societal readiness and inclusivity through stakeholder engagement and methodological development.

Opening Date: 16 September 2025
Deadline: 17 February 2026

This funding opportunity represents a pre-agreed draft that has not yet been officially approved by the European Commission. The final, approved version is expected to be published in the first quarter of 2025. This draft is provided for informational purposes and may be used to preliminarily form consortia and develop project ideas, but it is offered without any guarantees or warranties.

Expected Outcome

  • Measurable reduction in buildings’ energy demand together with a reduced gap
    between their as-designed and as-built energy performance.
  • Measurable increase in the number of building typologies with SMART grid
    connected renewable energy sources (RES) and energy storage together with increased
    flexibility in grid/network management and operations.
  • Measurable enhancement of the smart readiness of buildings as rated by the Smart
    Readiness Indicator and/or other relevant building rating systems.
  • Responsiveness to a deeper understanding of the needs and concerns of diverse social
    group involved in or potentially affected by the R&I development, thereby increasing
    the potential for beneficial societal uptake and building trust in results and outcomes.

Scope

  • Develop solutions that enhance the smartness of buildings and upgrading existing
    Building Management Systems (BMS) and/or other technical equipment.
  • Ensure that the proposed solutions are user-friendly and provide the expected indoor
    environment quality and user satisfaction.
  • Demonstrate the proposed solutions in at least three pilots, covering different climatic
    zones, building types (residential, tertiary etc.), and technical building systems.
  • Develop a methodology to measure the achieved energy demand reduction, increased
    flexibility in the grid, and enhanced interoperability, compared to current best
    practices.
  • Investigate the cost-effectiveness and replicability of the proposed solutions
