The Project

ENERGENIUS PROJECT

ENERGENIUS

The ENERGENIUS project, co-funded by Horizon Europe, reimagines how citizens, businesses, and communities interact with energy. By integrating cutting-edge digital tools, AI-driven insights, gamification, and expertise from 9 cross-sectorial data spaces called “knowledge arenas”, ENERGENIUS empowers users to make smarter energy choices. Through its unique “Leaders-Learners-Listeners” (3L) piloting methodology, ENERGENIUS validates, refines, and scales solutions in diverse real-world settings, creating a clear and inclusive roadmap for a sustainable future.

ENERGENIUS PROJECT

The Vision

ENERGENIUS envisions a future where every citizen is at the heart of the energy transition. The project aims to make energy management inclusive, ensuring equal access to tools and resources for individuals, businesses, and communities. By combining sustainability, technology, and engagement, ENERGENIUS democratizes energy solutions, driving efficiency, awareness, and adoption of renewable energy sources (RES) across Europe.

The Concept

The ENERGENIUS concept is built around a Symbiotic Ecosystem, placing citizens at the core of the energy transition. This approach fosters meaningful interactions between each user, the ENERGENIUS Community, the ENERGENIUS digital tools, called ENERGENIUS Suite (ENS) and a vibrant project’s marketplace, the ENMartk Marketplace.

This ecosystem fosters seamless interaction between each user and:

ENERGENIUS Community:

A collaborative platform where citizens engage with shared knowledge, insights, and feedback. The community acts as a hub for collective learning, enabling users to co-create sustainable solutions and refine the tools and services.

ENERGENIUS Marketplace:

A vibrant marketplace where participants can redeem ENERGENIUS Coins earned through sustainable actions. The marketplace offers a variety of sustainable products and services, encouraging continued engagement and rewards for eco-friendly behaviors.

ENERGENIUS Suite:

A comprehensive set of digital tools and services, tailored to enhance energy efficiency and promote sustainable practices. These include among others:

Scan-to-Digital Twin (S2DT):

A quick, user-friendly tool to create 3D models of homes for energy management.

GURU AI Advisor:

A decision support system with personalized guidance for energy savings and renewable investments.

PANORAMA Dashboard:

Visualizing energy use, CO2 savings, and efficiency impacts in real time.

EcoPulse Smartwatch:

A wearable device that tracks health metrics alongside energy data.

The Objectives

The ENERGENIUS project is driven by a clear set of objectives to create meaningful impact:

1. Empower Citizens:

To equip users with tools and knowledge to take control of their energy choices.

2. Scale and Replicate Solutions:

To test and adapt tools across 10 pilot sites using the 3L methodology.

3. Promote Cross-Sector Collaboration:

To harness expertise from 9 domains to create integrated and impactful solutions.

4. Encourage Sustainable Practices:

To drive energy savings, RES adoption, and environmentally conscious behaviors.

5. Create Market Impact:

To develop innovative business models and service packages to expand opportunities in energy, real estate, tourism, and beyond.
