RESPONSE

RESPONSE supports the Lighthouse cities of Dijon (FR) and Turku (FI) and their Fellow cities to facilitate them deliver positive energy blocks and districts. Through RESPONSE ,the two LHs will achieve a local RES penetration of 11.2 GWh/y, energy savings of 3,090 MWh/y and an emission reduction of 9,799 tons CO2eq/y within their districts. To achieve this goal, RESPONSE demonstrates 10 Integrated Solutions (ISs), comprising of 86 innovative elements (technologies, tools, methods), that are being monitored with specific impact metrics (KPIs).

RESPONSE adopts an energy transition strategy, which includes 5 Transformation Axes (TAs), encompassing the 10 ISs.

TA#1 focuses on transforming existing and new building stock into Energy Positive and Smart-ready. TA#2 focuses on the decarbonisation of the electricity grid and the district heating/cooling systems. TA#3 proposes grid flexibility strategies and novel storage systems for optimising energy flows, maximise self-consumption and reduce grid stress. TA#4 links existing CIPs with apps and other digital infrastructure to enable digitalisation of services and connected city ecosystems, integrating also smart eMobility to promote the decarbonisation of the mobility sector. TA#5 offers interdisciplinary citizen engagement and co-creation practices.

Standardisation objectives aim to ensure the RESPONSE results are aligned with current standardisation, certification and regulation by communicating, disseminating and promoting them. A roadmap for standardisation, certification and regulatory activities will be developed by mapping the expected contributions from the project with the most related standardisation, certification and regulatory activities. It will serve to consider possible gaps and as guide for the communication, dissemination, and promotion activities of the results obtained in the project through the appropriate standardisation, certification and regulatory bodies and fora, which will be then planned and carried out consequently.

Standardisation objectives aim to ensure the RESPONSE results are aligned with current standardisation, certification and regulation by communicating, disseminating and promoting them.

HSBooster contribution can be determinant in order to meet these objectives, specifically to help define the standardisation landscape related to RESPONSE results, identify possible gaps and provide support in identifying relevant standardisation bodies (Technical Committies, Working Groups) that can be involved in communication and dissemination actitivies.

Main topics are the ones defined by the 5 Transformation Axis reported in the Project description above, with special focus on Positive Energy and Smart Buildings, Decarbonization of electricity grid and district heating/cooling, grid flexibility/storage systems.
