Innovative heat demand analysis
#SmartHome #SustainableHeating #HeatDemand
With regard to sustainability and cost efficiency, innovative heating systems are increasingly in the focus. But which system suits which house and which consumer in order to function efficiently and sustainably? You can join MVV & beegy in developing smart and sensor-based analysis models for the heating requirements of private properties.
✅ Completed 🏁 Winner Congrats to baeren.io und Team Adapt!
🏆 Prize 15,000 € prize pool in the overall DE 4.0 project + invitation to the Federal Chancellery + promotion of further implementation + chance for further cooperation with MVV beegy
Submission Template
For the processing of the use cases within the DEUTSCHLAND 4.0 project a common submission template is available. This template will help you to structure your ideas and approaches and to find answers to all relevant questions.
SUBMISSION TEMPLATE (English version)
In addition to this submission template, you will find specific requirements and guiding questions for your Use Case in the "Guiding Questions" tab, which you should consider when preparing your submission.
You can also complement your submission with prototypes, pitch decks, images and video material, higher-level concepts or specific application-related instruments - simply submit these documents together with the submission template via our platform.
The aim is to ensure that solutions within the overall project cover a broad spectrum through this approach: from concrete digital product ideas to higher-level visions
Key questions
- Which parameters are relevant for the technical implementation for the renewal of heating systems (set of parameters) and how can they be measured, analyzed, and visualized?
- What does a suitable sensor technology for this look like?
- Are there any technologies already available for this? How can already existing approaches be further developed?
- Are there models where the technology can be used particularly efficiently and universally adapted to different needs? Is there even a possibility to (de)install the sensors by the customer himself?
- Over what period of time must the data be collected in order to deliver significant results and how can these be subsequently mapped in a meaningful way?
- How can the different wishes and perspectives of the stakeholders, customers, sales employees, and mechanics, also be represented and reported in the solution?
- So how can the best possible solution be offered to the customer, while at the same time ensuring a simple process for the sales employee for an optimal conclusion? How can all relevant conditions for the craftsman be integrated?
Criteria & specifications
We are looking for an innovative concept that illustrates the feasibility. The process of idea generation can play a particularly important role in this context, as even rejected solution approaches can contribute to the gain in knowledge. The use of already available components is also particularly important in the development of solutions.
In terms of handling and sustainability, the simple installation of the sensor technology and its reuse by other customers offer opportunities for innovative approaches.
For the universal use of the solution, a remote evaluation of the data must be available. In addition, the sensor technology must not interfere with other devices, applications and processes in the building.
Since the solution is used to collect data, it is of course also particularly important to develop a solution that conforms to data protection regulations.
