The Smart Building Living Lab (SMARTLAB): Using smart technology to drive the energy transition in Limerick

[SMARTLAB @SMARTLAB_Lk]

Do you own, rent, or manage a building (all or part of one) in this area? If so, you're eligible to apply to receive free energy and indoor environmental sensors with SMARTLAB. See more: https://t.co/P1A2fynFfQ

Today, we have published a new research bulletin titled 'The impact of planning and regulatory delays for energy infrastructure'.

⚡ The research highlights how regulatory delays impact electricity prices, system emissions, and costs.

@SMARTLAB_Lk This is amazing! Great work - would love to hear more, I’ll have a good look at your website. 👏🏻👏🏻

[SMARTLAB @SMARTLAB_Lk]

As part of SMARTLAB, at least one limerick city school has CO2 monitoring in their classrooms!

Would love to see this in Ireland, and every country, before too long. @CleanAirIE 🌬️

Madeleine Lyes (UL) and Kieran Reeves (LCCC) presented lessons from SMARTLAB at the Science Summit at the 79th UN General Assembly in New York. Citizen engagement towards open and inclusive digital societies! @SEAI_ie

[UL Research @UL_Research]

.@SMARTLAB_Lk has deployed smart sensors in 70 Limerick buildings to test the benefits smarter buildings can bring to Ireland’s energy future

@UL researchers are working on how we can minimise our energy usage

Thanks very much to @siliconrepublic, and @SEAI_ie. @UL @stephenkinsella @cianflah @LimerickCouncil

New article on SMARTLAB! “Over the next 10 years, the EU will implement directives on digital buildings and energy efficiency that will make huge demands of us and our buildings. This research helps map ways to deliver connected buildings at scale.” https://t.co/zQHx2mj9So

Our project's Principal Investigator, Prof Stephen Kinsella, will continue to steer the team as he takes on the role of Chief Economics Advisor to the Taoiseach. Congratulations, Stephen!

The beautiful Hunt Museum is part of SMARTLAB's exploration of increased building smartness to support the energy transition. Here's our little u-value monitor hooked up below a Picasso!

[SMARTLAB @SMARTLAB_Lk]

We're hearing fascinating things from our SMARTLAB participants on the impact their sensors are having on future planning. It's giving us crucial insights into what will be required for a clean energy transition in Ireland:

[SMARTLAB @SMARTLAB_Lk]

Lovely to see SMARTLAB featured alongside some amazing projects in the UL Engage Report!

[SMARTLAB @SMARTLAB_Lk]

The complex reality of the energy transition in buildings is clear here. A living lab approach like that of SMARTLAB identifies and clarifies these complexities. https://t.co/EqZsrSiwHF

[SMARTLAB @SMARTLAB_Lk]

@Mrrnealon @alandooley @stephenkinsella @IESVE @UL Hiya Ruari - the project will produce all the data at the end of the project (we'll have to anonymise it). Until then, the aggregated data is what's available.

[SMARTLAB @SMARTLAB_Lk]

We'll be exploring it when we meet with SMARTLAB participants this evening at the Citizen Innovation Lab. It's going to be so interesting to have our participants in a room together, talking about their buildings and their priorities. This is the reality of the energy transition.

[SMARTLAB @SMARTLAB_Lk]

The SMARTLAB Digital Twin is live! It shows the live data of all sensors across the project, and is great fun to explore. Have a go: Limerick City Centre | Smartlab_liveSensors (https://t.co/dd7RWKUGLd)

[SMARTLAB @SMARTLAB_Lk]

Every participant in the Limerick SMARTLAB project has their own dashboard, showing them their electricity use and their indoor environment, both live and over time. This information is giving people the power to make sound decisions about their building's future.

[SMARTLAB @SMARTLAB_Lk]

From museums to apartments, cafes to churches, houses to bars – throughout Limerick city centre, our team has been talking to people about why they got interested in joining the SMARTLAB project: https://t.co/LbSqmMhuYq @stephenkinsella @HelenaArchitect @Limerick_Leader

[SMARTLAB @SMARTLAB_Lk]

SMARTLAB drop-ins open all afternoon (until 5pm) at the Citizen Innovation Lab on Sarsfield St, in case you'd like to chat about the project. We've got about 2 weeks of open signups left, so if you've been thinking about applying, now is the time! https://t.co/naJv6FYmzG

[SMARTLAB @SMARTLAB_Lk]

Welcome, Maria! Lovely to have you in the project.
