The HEART Consortium hosted its final conference on 11 July 2022 at Residence Palace in Brussels.
Funded by the EU’s Horizon 2020 program, the HEART project combines different components and technologies to transform existing buildings into smart ones. The retrofit toolkit developed by the HEART project can reduce energy consumption, with overall savings between 60% and 90%, and significantly improve comfort for the inhabitants who can manage their consumption directly.
Re-watch the recording to get an overview of the innovations in the HEART project and how to scale up energy-efficiency renovation in Europe.
