The GrowSmarter project from 2015-2019 focuses on energy management in different types of housing in Stockholm, involving adaptive control systems, solar energy, and various engagement strategies for tenant participation. The initiative has demonstrated energy savings exceeding 20% in heating and water consumption, with ongoing efforts to communicate trends and visualize results to encourage behavioral changes. Additionally, the project aims to implement an energy saving center (Hubgrade) for enhanced monitoring and reporting of energy usage.
