Interactive workshop on 24 March from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. as part of BauZ26
Where are we now – and where are we headed?
Buildings play a key role in the volatile energy system of the future. Energy flexibility makes it possible to shift loads, better integrate renewable energy and tap into new business models – without losing sight of user comfort. Our goal is to bring together requirements from the perspectives of science, business and users for our “EnerFlexBuildings” research project.
There will be a particular focus on the further development of the “EnerFlex controlling unit ” [„EnerFlex-Steuer.Koffer“], which records system and comfort-related data, analyses the building-specific flexibility potential and uses reinforcement learning to develop suitable control strategies for the comfort-oriented activation of storage masses.
Workshop content
In the first part of the workshop “Energy Flexibility in Practice”, we will present technical input on the topic of energy flexibility in buildings and the current project status. In the second part, we invite you to actively contribute your perspectives, experiences and expectations.
