In this issue, we share a new phase of strong progress across the project, with significant advancements at our pilot sites and growing engagement with European and international stakeholders.

The Power‑to‑Gas‑to‑Power (P2G2P) hydrogen storage system is now physically connected to the building’s electrical infrastructure and has successfully supplied hydrogen‑generated electricity to the facility for the first time.

CEA is actively developing tools aimed at reducing energy bills and improving building occupant comfort.

The EVELIXIA project has reached an important milestone with the successful installation of its circular Building‑Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) modules at the TUCN pilot site.

Over the two-day event, discussions focused on some of the most relevant challenges and opportunities shaping the future of Europe’s energy systems.

In 2022, Department 15 of the Kolstrup Housing Association in Denmark installed solar panels and batteries to boost renewable self-consumption. Within EVELIXIA, the site is now advancing further by adding domestic hot water tanks as an additional energy‑storage solution.

Insights from the Quimper Workshop on the added value of EVELIXIA services reveal a clear and shared vision for the next generation of smart building and grid solutions.

On World Energy Efficiency Day 2026, EnTReC at TUCN hosted the third edition of the “Sustainability and Energy Efficiency” event.

The Smart Energy Cluster is a collaborative initiative bringing together more than 20 EU-funded projects.

The EVELIXIA project has reached a significant milestone in the development of its digital platform. The latest integration efforts bring together pilot sites, middleware, and services into a unified, interoperable ecosystem designed to support smart energy management at scale.

The project was represented by EVELIXIA partner TUCN on behalf of the Energy Transition Research Center (EnTReC).

EVELIXIA was presented during the session “European Projects”, highlighting research‑driven solutions developed at the Energy Transition Research Centre (EnTReC) of the Technical University of Cluj‑Napoca (UTCN).

EVELIXIA was featured at the Energy Cybersecurity Forum, an event highlighting the growing importance of cybersecurity in an increasingly digitalised energy system and the need to ensure the resilience of future grids.

The fourth edition of the EVELIXIA Newsletter has just been released! In this issue, we share the latest updates from across the project — from pilot site activities and innovative energy management tools to insights on how EVELIXIA is putting people and buildings at the heart of the energy transition. The newsletter also highlights recent events, progress within our technical work packages, and upcoming milestones as we move closer to demonstrating EVELIXIA’s solutions in r

by UBITECH Energy In the transition toward smarter, more sustainable energy systems, buildings are no longer just consumers — they are becoming active players in the energy market . To unlock this potential, the EVELIXIA project introduces the Demand Side Management (DSM) Advisor Tool — a digital solution designed to guide building operators toward optimized, data-driven flexibility participation. What is the DSM Advisor Tool? The DSM Advisor Tool is a decision-support sy

by Haute Ecole Spécialisée de Suisse occidentale (HES-SO) During the last General Assembly in Quimper, a small “task force” that brings together EVELIXIA’s technical experts and Discrete Choice Experiment (DCE) and survey specialists was formed. The group’s role is to co-design the DCE and shape a clear, people-friendly questionnaire that will be fielded in all our seven pilot site’s countries. Together, these tools will help us collect the right data to understand what end-u

by Commissariat à l'Énergie Atomique et aux Énergies Alternatives (CEA) Europe set up incentive mechanisms to hit its climate ambitions, offering emission trading opportunities, subsidies, tax breaks and trading flexibilities like the purchase of energy quotas between member countries. These systems are the Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), the Effort Sharing legislation defining the national GHG reduction targets and the land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF). In a

The event provided a valuable platform to present the project’s key exploitable results and engage with the European smart building and urban regeneration community.

The 5th General Assembly of the EVELIXIA Project took place on 1–2 October 2025 in Quimper, France. The event provided an excellent...

The project will be represented in both the auditorium session and dedicated workshops.
