FORTESIEThe overall vision of FORTESIE is to design, demonstrate, validate and replicate innovative renovation packages in the building industry with Smart Performance-Based guarantees and financing, aiming at Efficient, Sustainable and Inclusive Energy (ESIE) use to accelerate the Renovation Wave in Europe. The renovation packages will combine state-of-the-art construction materials and technologies components (prefabricated facades, BIPV, heat pumps, etc.), innovative digital technologies for measurement and verification, and attractive financing (e.g. contractual frameworks for smart performance guarantees, financing mechanisms, engagement techniques, green-euros, etc.), to raise the overall EPC value proposition. The renovation packages will be tailored to specific target groups needs and optimised to improve the ESIE performance considering energy, CO2 and comfort. Each package will be demonstrated and validated in real life use cases and customised for replication in all other partner countries for immediate market take-up.Led by: Prof. Dr. Margrit SeckelmannTeam:Year: 2022Funding: Horizon Europe ProjectDuration: 10/2022 - 09/2025

DiDi: DigitalisierungsDiskurse – Disziplin- und projektübergreifende Forschung zu Digitalisierungsthemen zugänglich machenThe “Digitalization Discourses” (DiDi) project brings together various research institutes to conduct interdisciplinary and cross-project research on socially relevant topics related to artificial intelligence (AI). Five ongoing research projects deal with the algorithmic processing of large amounts of data and the effects on different areas of society. The goal is to develop standards for the best possible use of AI and data, as well as to identify open questions for scientific and social discourse. At the end of the project, a public closing event will be held to advance the discourse and counteract possible concerns and fears about AI.Led by: Prof. Dr. Margrit SeckelmannTeam:Year: 2023Funding: EUR 120,000 from the Lower Saxony Ministry of Science and CultureDuration: 07/2023 - 09/2024
