The European project investigating buildings' energy self-sufficiency |
|
|
Funded by the European Commission CHESS SETUP (680556) contributes to the triple facet of the 2020 Program aiming to cut Greenhouse Gas emissions by 20%, improve energy efficiency by 20% and increase the share of renewable sources by 20%. |
|
|
The Project Chess Setup is an implementation project combining various technologies: energy storage, heat pumps, hybrid solar panels, monitorization systems, and smart grids. |
|
Main objective: supplying the most part of buildings' heating and hot water consumption needs from this system working on a seasonal mode. The implementation will be carried out in Catalonia and in England. |
|
|
What would your system look like ? The optimal technology combination relies on each of the elements' sizing, but also on some external variables such as the geographical location. Thus, Chess Setup developed a public simulation software available here. |

|
Smart City Expo World Congress Chess Setup was introduced on big screen during this major event gathering more than 16,000 professionals. Some of the project members attended the presentation and were able to share opinions and experiences among themselves. |
|
|
Project's progress Chess Setup was launched 8 months ago, and all Work Packages have already begun their activities. All deliverables were sent on time, and some objectives were already achieved. |
