The Fifth Energy in Time Steering Committee was held on April 19th and 20th in Levi, Finland. The Levi Panorama Hotel at which the meeting was conducted was chosen on purpose, for this is one of the demo-sites at which monitoring of energy consumption of the building is enabled through one of the technological solutions developed under the EiT project and how it helps by reaching energy efficiency of the hotel.

Besides that, several leaders of the different work packages presented the advances achieved in their respective areas, spoke about eventual mishaps and possible solutions to them to ensure feasibility of the integral solution of the EiT project.
