Dear Reader,
Historic buildings stand as symbols of our past, but their future depends on how we innovate today. At SMARTeeSTORY, we are reshaping this narrative
SMARTeeSTORY has just passed a big milestone! We succeeded through our very first review meeting, with our project officer Juan Carlos Espada Suarez. Over the past months, our team has made significant strides in implementing smart energy solutions across our three demo sites. From obtaining special permits in Granada to advancing monitoring systems in Delft, the momentum continues to grow.
Don't miss our work in pushing towards smarter and greener European buildings, and showing that historical landmarks can also lead the way in sustainability.
Stay tuned to our journey and connect with us via on LinkedIn !

Historical Building and BMS – a Schneider Electric demo case
The retrofitting of historic buildings plays a key role in the development of a comprehensive EU approach to the decarbonisation of buildings. A central challenge is to improve energy efficiency and sustainability through the comprehensive use of Building Management Systems (BMS). This approach to retrofitting historic buildings is based on a commitment to preservation.
