Making Smart Energy Reduction in Non-Residential Buildings Easier
Last updated
With the daunting task of transforming 480,000 non-residential buildings to achieve CO2 neutrality by 2050, as outlined in the Dutch Climate Agreement (2019), the need for better and more efficient data sharing is growing. Non-residential buildings need to share relevant data easily and securely with project partners and optimise the cost-effectiveness of CO2 reduction projects.
The current market practice is prone to errors, with data often shared based on outdated or incorrect authorizations, presenting a significant challenge. The DVU (Data Space for Energy Reduction in Non-Residential Buildings) aims to address this challenge by eliminating data-sharing barriers in the current market.
The DVU architecture leverages i4Trust and is set up as a federated data space, encompassing all standardised technical, operational, and legal agreements from the iSHARE Trust Framework. This supports the WEii protocol developed by the Dutch Green Building Council to create digital twins for developing cost-effective CO2 reduction projects with reliable business cases.
DVU optimises interoperability with adjacent data spaces by adopting these open standards for data sharing, using the iSHARE specifications for authentication and authorization.
