Greentech Living Labs
as participatory research infrastructures for sustainable energy use
As participatory and user-centered innovation spaces, living labs play a key role in shaping transformation processes in the field of sustainable energy use. Their effectiveness is largely determined by the acceptance and participation of the stake holders involved. In the sensitive area of intelligent building use, including sustainable living, the interplay of big data, networked IoT technology and highly personal living spaces creates a highly complex field of tension in the interplay of different particular interests.
Against this backdrop, the GreenTechLab project is developing practical standards for the design of the legal, organizational and technical framework of open data-oriented living labs for sustainable energy use in residential and office buildings. As a comprehensive 360° concept, the developed design standards form the basis for the planned development of a third-generation living lab as a central component of networked smart city solutions.
