Mass-produced Energy Pod for Mass Retrofitting

该项目专注于制造设计、组装和生产工艺设计、价值优化和开发Ventive EnergyPod的制造能力，Ventive EnergyPod是一个连接的、完全集成的、即插即用的通风、供暖和热水系统，结合了专有的智能通风、热回收和创新的混合热泵技术，专为新住宅和低能耗“深度”改造而设计。总的来说，这些系统将形成一个负荷转移设备网络，利用热水储存的热容量和每个家庭的惯性，在需要时转移峰值能源使用。由于每个家庭都有明显的不同（包括大小、热损失、热质量、居住密度和模式），EnergyPod将使用一系列集成传感器来持续评估室内环境，并调整每个系统的性能，学习和优化其操作，以及使用轻推技术和用户交互来推动能源效率和负载转移能力的改进（例如，一些用户可能会为了经济或其他奖励而“打赌”更舒适）。Ventive和项目合作伙伴的目标是成为建筑智能、建筑服务和建筑结构之间的有效联系，单独优化每个家庭，并将家庭作为虚拟发电站。根据需要增加或减少电网占用，以获得有效的频率响应，同时将EnergyPod系统的显著节能货币化（从需求优化和非峰值能量转换时间中节省高达75%），为创新的改造融资业务模式提供动力。项目合作伙伴得到了潜在客户的大力支持，包括Engie、Melius homes、Nottingham City homes、One Manchester、Sutton Housing Partnership等，以合适的成本提供大量的EnergyPod解决方案。本项目旨在促进这一点。

The project focuses on Design for Manufacture, design of assembly and production process, Value Optimisation and development manufacturing capacity for the Ventive EnergyPod, a connected, fully integrated and plug-and-play ventilation, heating and hot water system combining proprietary intelligent ventilation with heat recovery and innovative hybrid heat pump technology, designed for both new dwellings and low energy 'deep' retrofits. In aggregate the systems will form a network of load shifting devices using thermal capacity of the hot water storage and the inertia of each home to shift peak energy use when needed. Since each home is distinctly different (including size, heat loss, thermal mass, occupancy density and patterns, user behaviour and other factors) the EnergyPod will use an array of integrated sensors to continuously assess the indoor environment and adapt the performance of each system learning and optimising it's operation as well as using nudge techniques and user interaction to drive improvements in energy efficiency and load shifting capacity (some users may 'bet' more comfort for financial or other rewards for example).Ventive and the project partners aim to become an effective link between the building intelligence, building services and building fabric, optimising each home individually and, in aggregate, using homes as virtual power stations, increasing or decreasing their Grid footprint as needed for effective frequency response while monetising the significant energy savings from EnergyPod system (up to 75% from both demand optimisation and off-peaking the time of energy conversion) powering the innovative retrofit financing business model.Project partners have a strong backing from potential clients including Engie, Melius homes, Nottingham City Homes, One Manchester, Sutton Housing Partnership and others to deliver the EnergyPod solution in large numbers at the right cost. This project is designed to facilitate that.
