This project has been brought to life in 2016 and since then, agents haven’t ceased from valuing it as a novel platform designed to generate a change in the behavior of final consumers by fostering energy efficient habits. Its purpose is also to reduce the consumption and emissions without lowering the comfort levels.

The Awards recognize innovation and technology in the area of energetic efficiency in the digital era (enerTIC 2017 awards) and have recently been conceded to the ecoCASA project. This project advocates for energetic efficiency and sustainability, for this reason it has been selected as one among the three finalists in the category Smart Sustainability. Although this time it did not get the award, the very fact of being among the finalists of this prestigious award is a confirmation of its success. The project is led by Experis IT , with the participation of Sensing & Control and the BISITE research group, of which I am the director. We are convinced that the project will continue achieving successes in the challenge of improving energetic efficiency.

Our group has been working on this task, it maintains an active line of research and has an impeccable track record in this field.
