Post-Workshop Report for Plug-N-Harvest Modular Façade Retrofit Workshop on Sustainable Places 2019

As part of the European Commission Horizon 2020 Plug-N-Harvest project consortium, authors hosted a 90-minute workshop to discuss issues related the modular façade retrofit development in Europe on Sustainable Places 2019 conference at Cagliari, Italy on 6th June 2019. This post-workshop report outlined research outputs presented by four speakers from Cardiff University, RWTH Aachen University, ETRA I+D and Eco Intelligent Growth. It also presented the key information discussed during the workshop. The representatives from about ten H2020 projects joined the discussions. Workshop participants provided technical suggestions on façade design, user interface development for the energy management system, circular economy business models for modular façade and consortium building. The representatives agreed that strengthening the synergy among different Horizon 2020 projects would be a benefit for all.

Smart Grid Technology

Smart grid technology is developed to be commercialized globally, and expected to be utilized at home, named as home energy management system. Despite of its promising marketability, innovative business models are not well-structured and service design methods have limitations on integration for service innovation. Hence, this study employs service-dominant logic to innovate the industry, and introduces the holistic method consisting of service, ecosystem, platform, and strategy. Firstly, it identifies the pain points, and the expected services are arranged using an importance–performance analysis method. Then, the extended ecosystem is defined in three layers perspectives. In addition, the use-case method is used to demonstrate the relationships between the supplier and users on platform. Finally, integrating customers’ needs results in two business models: (i) Home Energy management Model and (ii) Home Care Model. This research not only suggests innovative business models in the home energy market, but also supplements the procedure for designing innovative services and applies it with qualitative and quantitative investigation. To the end, it shed light on the direction and way to actualize future Home Energy Management System (HEMS) market.
