ENTRANCE: Enabling smart-grid ready building through integrated solutions and digital technologies

Our new Horizon Europe Project Entrance just kicked off!

ENTRANCE acknowledges the critical role of the energy and building sectors in Europe's environmental and energy policies.

In the ongoing energy transition, buildings are pivotal for adopting advanced control strategies and smart management systems, enhancing energy efficiency, flexibility, and user well-being. This transition not only accelerates the adoption of renewable energy sources but also reduces energy dependencies. Interoperability improvement between buildings and energy services is essential for ensuring the reliability and sustainability of the energy system amidst evolving challenges like climate change and cybersecurity threats.

ENTRANCE aims to facilitate smart-grid-ready and decarbonized buildings by integrating energy efficiency, flexibility, renewables, and user empowerment. Through integrated technology, digitalization, user engagement, and performance-driven economics, ENTRANCE will demonstrate solutions in diverse European contexts, ensuring user comfort and economic value across six demonstration sites.
