OdenLife - Structured energy renovations and capacity measures for the public good
The energy situation in Sweden and Europe is severe now. According to Svenska kraftnät, the risk of manual disconnection of the electricity is reduced five times if one can reduce electricity use by two percent. The same applies if you move two percent of electricity use from the morning and evening peaks of the day. Building property companies such as Svenska Bostäder can contribute to the reduction of peak loads by flexibly reducing electricity-based heating equipment (heat pumps), which can reduce costs for property owners and make the electricity system more robust.
Project name and number : OdenLife - Structured energy renovations and capacity measures for the public good, 2022-03307
Participants: KTH, Svenska Bostäder, Locallife Sweden
Project period:2022-11-25 - 2023-09-30
Financing: VINNOVA
The project adapts technology from KTH and LocalLife for structured energy renovations and impact measures within Svenska Bostäder's (SvB) property portfolio. Through an adaptation of the Oden tool, it is possible to map the energy and power usage within SvB’s stock, with recommended measures that can be included in the next year's maintenance planning. For the capacity balancing, LocalLife and KTH are creating an aggregator service that is being tested against Svenska Kraftnät so that after the project it can be scaled up to other SvB properties.
