SPV is a Dutch non-profit foundation established by the Schoonschip community, the innovative floating neighbourhood in Amsterdam. Acting as a bridge between the community and external research, innovation and policy initiatives, SPV brings valuable experience in turning sustainable ideas into real-life solutionsContinue reading “A new partner joins the DR-RISE project!”
Myth vs Fact | The role of households in energy flexibility
Myth: Only large industries can provide flexibility.Fact: Households can also contribute when supported by the right tools. Energy flexibility is not limited to large industrial consumers. The residential sector can also play an important role, especially in an energy system that is becoming increasingly decentralised, digital and based on renewable energy sources. DR-RISE aims toContinue reading “Myth vs Fact | The role of households in energy flexibility”
Myth vs Fact | Demand Response and user control
Myth: Demand Response means losing control of your home.Fact: Users can remain in control by defining their own preferences, comfort levels and participation settings. In the residential sector, Demand Response should not be understood as an externally imposed mechanism, but as a tool that can support citizens in making more informed decisions about their energyContinue reading “Myth vs Fact | Demand Response and user control”
Co-creating Demand Response with residential users
Technology alone is not enough to make Demand Response successful. Residential flexibility depends on people: their habits, needs, comfort, trust and willingness to participate. For this reason, user-centred design and co-creation are essential. Citizens need to understand how Demand Response works, what benefits it can bring and how it can fit into everyday life. DR-RISE places residential users at the centre of thisContinue reading “Co-creating Demand Response with residential users”
