Interoperability and service architecture

How the project could develop

From idea to practical implementation.

What the project addresses

Homes increasingly contain electrified loads whose timing, comfort impact and energy cost can be managed more intelligently.

Our approach

Explore control logic, connected equipment, user interfaces and service models that make household energy use more adaptive while keeping the specific implementation partner- and jurisdiction-dependent.

Possible applications

Suitable models include appliance integration, smart-home partnerships, B2B2C services, licensing and utility or property-sector pilots.

Possible next steps

Possible directions for further work.

Further work can take different forms depending on the project, its stage and its goals. Possible steps include:

01
Load mapClarify the objective, intended user and what a useful result would look like.
02
Control logicDevelop a practical technical concept and, where relevant, a workable implementation or commercial model.
03
Pilot integrationExplore the main uncertainties using the method best suited to the project: calculations, prototype work, data review or a pilot.
04
Commercial modelUse what is learned to decide whether and how to move forward — independently, with partners or through another route.

Collaboration

Potential collaborators.

Suitable models include appliance integration, smart-home partnerships, B2B2C services, licensing and utility or property-sector pilots.
