What is the Intelligent Energy Lab?
Intelligent energy is focusing on managing energy more efficiently than ever before.
Demand for energy keeps growing worldwide, and the use of it must become more sustainable. At the same time there is a growing need for an expansion and modernisation of the existing energy infrastructure. This will require a systemic optimisation of the energy system.
Intelligent Energy Lab is an open platform – eager to invite and involve other companies, universities, institutes, and associate structures that care about efficient energy use, sustainability, and the modern city energy sector.
