Testing of RES4BUILD Integrated Energy Solution Pilots
As the EU-funded RES4BUILD project enters its final year, the two pilot systems will undergo testing over the next few months to investigate and fine-tune the performance of the integrated energy solutions.
RES4BUILD Prototype Systems Testing
The operation and testing of the complete RES4BUILD pilot system has begun in order to validate the component and complete system models, evaluate the performance and validate the concept.
