Topic / Target
>EEB-ICT-2011.6.5 ICT for energy-positive neighbourhoods
DESCRIPTION
Projects supported under this objective shall contribute to the European Energy-Efficient Buildings Initiative by developing management and control systems, and decision-support systems addressing the dynamics of energy supply and demand in neighbourhoods and extended urban/rural communities. These systems shall optimise the use of energy beyond the buildings (considering for instance street lighting, urban heat production, electrical vehicles), and they shall include the integration of renewable energy sources and the connection to the electricity distribution grid in order to take advantage of variable tariffs and diversity of supply.
In addition to technical developments, projects shall consider appropriate business models, how to split incentives, and engage end users and public authorities to deploying such systems.
Interoperation of these systems with other ICT-based systems (e.g. traffic management systems, Geographical Information Systems) that may be deployed in the area will be considered an asset.
In addition to systems integration, proposals shall include a substantial validation phase.
During this phase, projects shall record evidence of the benefits and total cost of operation, as well as the potential for scaling up solutions, for potential users.
Consortia must be compact with partners each making substantial contributions.

ICT for energy-positive neighbourhoods
ICT for a Low Carbon Economy
This Challenge explores how ICT can contribute to delivering a sustainable, low carbon society and help progress towards the Europe 2020 targets on climate and energy.
ICT can assist in reshaping the demand side of our energy-dependant society, reducing energy consumption, and subsequently CO2 emissions, in particular in electricity distribution, buildings and construction, transport and logistics, the public sector, rural areas and cities.
The Challenge focuses on the following:
− Future electricity distribution grids applying seamless communications systems to increase the connectivity, management, automation and coordination between suppliers (including renewable sources), consumers and networks;
− Energy efficient design and decision support tools optimizing the energy performance during systems development and operation (e.g. modelling, simulation and planning, enterprise management systems, data centres);
− Water management, including demand-side management, integrated water resource management frameworks and comprehensive decision support systems;
− Energy-efficient buildings, neighbourhoods as well as urban and rural areas improving the buildings construction cycle, improving the use of energy beyond buildings, advancing complex urban systems, and optimising the dynamics of energy supply and demand in neighbourhoods and extended urban and rural communities. This research will contribute to the Energy-Efficient Buildings Public-Private-Partnership launched in 2008 as part of the European Economic Recovery Plan;
− ICT for low-carbon multi-modal freight and logistics covering technologies and services for multi-modal freight and logistics as well as ICT for clean and efficient multi-modal mobility for further improving energy efficiency and reducing CO2 emissions in all modes
of transport for passengers and goods;
− Cooperative Systems for low-carbon multi-modal mobility covering cooperative applications and services for energy efficiency and eco-friendly mobility as well as a European Wide Service Platform (EWSP) for services leveraging those cooperative systems;
− ICT for fully electric vehicles advancing the development and integration of major building blocks of the Full Electric Vehicle (FEV), and integrating the FEV with infrastructures. Projects supported under this objective will contribute to the European
Green Cars Initiative, a Public-Private-Partnership launched in 2008 as part of the European Economic Recovery Plan.

Information and Communication Technologies
The objective of this theme is improving the competitiveness of European industry and enabling Europe to master and
shape future developments in ICT so that the demands of its society and economy are met.
ICT is at the very core of the knowledge-based society. Activities will continue to strengthen Europe's scientific and technology base and ensure its global leadership in ICT, help drive and stimulate product, service and process innovation and creativity through ICT use and value creation in Europe, and ensure that ICT progress is rapidly transformed into benefits for Europe's citizens, businesses, industry and governments.
These activities will also help reduce the digital divide and social exclusion.
In the general consumer markets, business growth is foreseen in the short to mid term in new Web and Internet-based services taking advantage of the new generations of smart phones, networked sensors and convergence around IP (Internet Protocol).
In addition to access to digital media through new generation user interfaces and interaction paradigms, and generation of content and leisure services, new opportunities are foreseen e.g. in energy efficiency at home, personalised health systems and location-based services.
As sectors like energy, transport and logistics increasingly rely on the Internet, there is a need to support their collaboration with the European ICT communities in a cross-sector approach based on a common framework of specifications, standards and trials, to speed up the development and uptake of services based on Internet-enabled 'smart' infrastructures.
Cloud computing is transforming the software and the service industry and can have a profound impact on business ICT strategies in all sectors.
Open innovation and open web-based innovation platforms is an important development that can ensure access to new ideas and rapid market uptake of innovations.
International cooperation becomes a must to address the global challenges and to build winwin partnerships with well-targeted countries for technology, economic and social developments.
