Need-Owner Workshop - Demo
30th September 2020
Our consortium partners were delighted to demonstrate REDAP Proof of Concept System to a range of need-owners and external stakeholders from Austria, Sweden and Ireland. REDAP Version 1 was demonstrated to Dublin's energy agency, Codema, the City of Gothenburg Council (including Göteborg Energi), and Austrian Energy planning agencies, EKUT, and Klima-und Energie-Modellregionen Schwarzatal.
