The project introduces an innovative model improved energy efficiency in public and residential buildings, aiming to overcome the limitations of traditional energy retrofit methods. It will implement the Comfort as a Service (CaaS) model, which combines advanced real-time energy management with performance-based financing and adaptable thermal comfort tailored to user needs.
The main objectives include:
- Testing the CaaS model as an advanced, cost-efficient upgrade to conventional energy renovation approaches.
- Reducing energy use in the pilot buildings — two primary schools and one newly built public residential building — by up to 25%.
- Improving indoor environmental quality (IEQ), including temperature, humidity, air quality and overall well-being.
- Supporting users in thermal acclimatization and involving them in the active management of indoor comfort.
- Strengthening digital building management through IoT sensors and real-time monitoring.
- Developing a model that is easily transferable and scalable to other European cities.
- Contributing to Ljubljana’s ambition to become a climate-neutral city by 2030.
