Apollon – Deliverable 3.3
1.
Introduction
As stated in the Description of Work Document (DoW) and in Deliverable 3.1 of this Work Package (“Requirements”), Work Package 3 within Apollon clusters four Living Labs that focus on energy efficient solutions that will be transferred and piloted from one Living Lab to another (receiving) Living Lab. Task 3.2 deals with the actual preparation of the deployment and set-up of the experiments in the receiving Living Labs (Amsterdam Living Lab, Aalto Living Lab, Portugal Energy Living Lab, Botnia Living Lab). Task 3.3 comprises the actual cross-border piloting of the experiments, after which Task 3.4 covers the evaluation and recommendation activities. This document provides the common approach for the cross boarder activities, including research, data gathering and analysis activities that will take place in Work Package 3. For the SME’s involved in the cross border experiments (Home Automation Europe, Process Vision, There Corporation, KYAB, DIY KYOTO, Sensinode, JROMA, ARQUIlED, ISA) the Requirements Identification (Apollon Deliverable 3.1) and Use case analysis and common Living Lab Approach (Apollon Deliverable 3.2) establishes the transferring Living Labs, in case of technology transfer cross boarder activities, as the supervisors to monitor de overall work (coordination) while the local (receiving) Living Labs are responsible for the local deployment and execution of the pilot. Ideally the coordination of the local Living Labs will be guided by the transferring Living Labs but this will require a close cooperation and open dialogue between all the involved partners. The research set-up that will be applied in the Living Labs is a people-centered approach in which we will not only focus on the deployment of the service, but also investigate how various users experience the energy efficiency solutions in their daily lives.
