On 6 and 7 November 2024, SMARTeeSTORY project partners gather in Valladolid to discuss recent progress and plan the next stages of the project aimed at enhancing the energy efficiency of historic buildings across Europe.
Hosted by CARTIF, this meeting will feature in-depth updates on the work conducted at the project’s three demonstrator sites: the Riga City Hall in Latvia, the Faculty of Architecture at TU Delft in the Netherlands, and the Royal Chancellery in Granada, Spain.
Improving energy efficiency in historic structures is no small feat. Due to strict preservation requirements, getting the necessary permissions is often a lengthy process, and any intervention demands a high degree of expertise to balance energy upgrades with heritage conservation. The SMARTeeSTORY project’s goal is to address these challenges using an approach that combines modern technologies and energy analysis with respect for each building’s historic value.
Training on Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) Tool Developed by TECNALIA
A key moment of the Valladolid meeting will be the first internal training on the Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) webtool developed by TECNALIA, a SMARTeeSTORY partner. This web-based tool allows partners to measure the smart readiness of existing buildings, a factor that assesses how well a building’s digital and technological setup can adapt to optimise energy use. During the session, all partners will have the opportunity to test the tool through a series of interactive presentations and hands-on exercises.
Forging a Path for Sustainable Heritage Conservation
SMARTeeSTORY is an innovative Horizon Europe project that brings together a consortium of 13 partners from six countries. SMARTeeSTORY develops a smart and integrated building automation and control system to monitor and optimise the buildings’ energy performance. By combining interoperable and cybersecure-by-design software and hardware solutions, the project accelerates the green transition of historical buildings while respecting their unique identities.
