Cross border activities
In the cross border energy efficiency activities four Living Labs (from LuleĂĽ, Helsinki, Amsterdam and Lisbon) are participating. The cross border activities will consist of several cases all having the purpose to test and evaluate new technology for energy saving and change of behaviour in terms of consumption of energy, at the same time as the cases strive to share experiences, methods and tools among the four living labs. Hence, the cases will take the form of e.g. workshops, showcases, showrooms and real life tests. See the figure below which illustrates the different cross border activities.
The activities will focus on different aspects, but together they will contribute to the creation of a common benchmarking framework including a service model for clients, business model for sustainability as well as a reference model to share date, knowledge, experience and competencies. The cross border activities will also test the impact of real time date on the consumers as well as foster SME innovation commitment and support its scalability in the European market place. The activities involved in the energy efficiency pilot have the main focus of crossborder transfer of both technology and knowledge. For this we have distinguished the following different type of cross border activities: – Business matching & partnerships
