Further to the open consultation process that was launched during this summer, valuable feedback was collected to enrich the draft white papers of the four SmartBuilt4EU task forces.

The final versions integrating this feedback are now available for download. They identify barriers, drivers and Research & Innnovation gaps regarding:

• Task Force 1: Acceptance and attractiveness of smart building solutions
• Task Force 2: Interoperability
• Task Force 3: Provision of flexibility to the electricity grids
• Task Force 4: Financing and business models.

These White Papers will be presented during the SmartBuilt4EU workshop at the Sustainable Places Conference on September 29, 2021. This event will also be the opportunity to launch the next topics for investigation during the coming 6 months.
