Digital Energy Report (DER), Smart City/Intelligent Building/Smart Grid Report are periodic reports investigating the topic of digital innovation and digital transformation within the energy industry. The concept of “smart” devices/environment applies to a number of cases in the energy domain, from the concept of intelligent buildings (maximizing the energy performance through an automated control of HVAC, appliances and fencing systems) to the concept of smart grids (metering and infrastructures controlling energy flows and minimizing the cost of unbalances and failures in the electricity grid), and the usage of “smart manufacturing” technologies dealing with energy consumption in industrial contexts.

KEY RESEARCH QUESTIONS
Digital Energy Report (DER), Smart City/Intelligent Building/Smart Grid Report are periodic reports investigating the topic of digital innovation and digital transformation within the energy industry. The concept of “smart” devices/environment applies to a number of cases in the energy domain, from the concept of intelligent buildings (maximizing the energy performance through an automated control of HVAC, appliances and fencing systems) to the concept of smart grids (metering and infrastructures controlling energy flows and minimizing the cost of unbalances and failures in the electricity grid), and the usage of “smart manufacturing” technologies dealing with energy consumption in industrial contexts.
The structure of the Energy Efficiency Observatory, similarly to the other observatories run by Energy & Strategy is based on 4 pillars: (1) the analysis of the state-of-the art of the technologies representing the offer in the field; (2) the analysis of the current size and forecasts of the market; (3) the analysis of the normative and regulatory framework applied in the field; (4) the analysis of business models and development strategies of the key players in the field.
