Today, we have published a new research bulletin titled 'The impact of planning and regulatory delays for energy infrastructure'.
⚡ The research highlights how regulatory delays impact electricity prices, system emissions, and costs.

New article on SMARTLAB! “Over the next 10 years, the EU will implement directives on digital buildings and energy efficiency that will make huge demands of us and our buildings. This research helps map ways to deliver connected buildings at scale.” siliconrepublic.com/innovati…

The beautiful Hunt Museum is part of SMARTLAB's exploration of increased building smartness to support the energy transition. Here's our little u-value monitor hooked up below a Picasso!

The complex reality of the energy transition in buildings is clear here. A living lab approach like that of SMARTLAB identifies and clarifies these complexities. m.independent.ie/irish-news/…

The SMARTLAB Digital Twin is live! It shows the live data of all sensors across the project, and is great fun to explore. Have a go: Limerick City Centre | Smartlab_liveSensors (iesve.com)

We'll be exploring it when we meet with SMARTLAB participants this evening at the Citizen Innovation Lab. It's going to be so interesting to have our participants in a room together, talking about their buildings and their priorities. This is the reality of the energy transition.

Every participant in the Limerick SMARTLAB project has their own dashboard, showing them their electricity use and their indoor environment, both live and over time. This information is giving people the power to make sound decisions about their building's future.
