13. T6.3 - IS-1.1: Positive EnergyBuildings
Deliverable D6.3
Objective :
Collective self-consumption at building
scale
Innovation :
This demonstrator is based on a new
concept (in France) of collective self-
consumption at building scale combining
a high share of locally produced solar PV
electricity and a battery storage system to
increase the self-sufficiency rate.

14. T6.3 - IS-1.2 : Optimization of heatingload curve
Deliverable D6.3
Objective :
Characterize different schemes for heat distribution systems in collective
housing and evaluate the ROI of the different implementation stages.
Innovation :
Possibility to tune heat supply to individual demand in each dwelling
according to its sun/wind exposure and to the measured room ambient
temperature.

T6.4 – IS-2.2 : Smart district heating and cooling network
optimization algorithm
Deliverable D6.4
Objective :
Optimization of the exploitation of a
geothermal district heating and cooling
network (DHCN) with the support of
various storage technologies and thanks to
a smart energy management system.
Innovation :
Demonstrate that DHCN can be an
attractive, performant and cost-effective
solution when combining heat and cold
production based on geothermal
renewable energy production coupled with
heat pumps and thermal storages and can
offer flexibility when interoperating with a
local smart grid local integrating a large
share of renewable energy.

T6.5 – IS-3.1: Smart charging infrastructure
Deliverable D6.5
Objective :
Optimization of the
operation of an EVCI
based on the smart
management of V1G
and V2G services.
Innovation :
The first
experimentation in
France of smart
charging based on
V1G and V2G services
supported by a fleet
of shared electric
vehicles.

17. IRIS – Demonstration activities per Transition Track 17
T6.5 – IS-3.2 : Smart management of E V carsharing
Deliverable D6.5
Objective :
The optimization of the
operation of a shared-EV fleet
to reach the optimal use rate
of vehicles.
Innovation :
The first experimentation in
France of coupling smart
charging to the smart
operation of a fleet of shared
electric vehicles based on AI.

18. Objective :
The aim is to match the urban model visuals
and building models with the actual state of
environmental information made available by
monitoring equipment and sensors.
Innovation:
Fuel in real time a BIM/CIM model with data
collected on the field.

T6.6 – IS-4.2 : B IM / CIM data display
Deliverable D6.6

19. IRIS – Demonstration activities per Transition Track 19
T6.7 Citizens engagement
Deliverable D6.7
Objective :
The objective is to raise the general awareness of various
audiences on their daily life impact on energy consumption and
environment to encourage them to change their behaviour.
Innovation :
- “I’m learning energy” program which is an innovative teaching
device for primary school and college and their teachers
recognized by the Ministry of National Education
- “I like my sub-station” : The association ADAM has a program
of extracurricular activities that it sets up during the holidays
- ”social grocery store” the approach is to build on an existing
structure in the neighbourhood to which many families adhere
in order to offer specific workshops focusing on energy in the
home.
- “web portal” will allows tenants to view their real-time and
historic consumption data and compare it with similar housing
