MG Contribution
MG is responsible for ensuring the effective dissemination and communication activities for the project goals and results, by reaching the intended audiences in a clear, engaging, and impactful manner. Choosing the relevant social media channels, and engaging stakeholders meaningfully, we engage in direct interactions and public engagement through multimedia content, meetings, workshops or seminars.
Additionally, we will also support socio-economic analyses and studies for upscaling the project results and developing a business case for new use cases to address the challenges towards a successful launch of the technology to various end-users in the future.
Progress and Impact
Through pilots in Denmark, Poland, Switzerland, and Turkey, HEATWISE aims to pioneer innovative solutions, encompassing hybrid (liquid and air) cooling technology, a digital twin-supported holistic data management system, an integrated multi-objective building energy management system, and a self-assessment and optimization tool, complemented by a knowledge-sharing platform.
