The kick-off meeting of the project Energy IN TIME was held on the 23rd and 24th of October 2013 at the ACCIONA facilities in Madrid. A total of 35 project members from all over Europe attended the meeting: Spain, France, Italy, Ireland, Portugal, Finland, Romania and the UK. Belén Gómez-Uribarri Serrano of ACCIONA, industrial engineer, expert on renewable energies and coordinator of the Energy In Time project, warmly welcomed the attendees and officially started the Energy IN TIME project.
In the course of the two days, the background and general work plan of the project were discussed. The main items on the agenda included:
- A presentation of the European Commission requirements by the Project Officer
- A brief introduction of the partners and the work packages (WPs)
- A presentation of the Project Management Structure
- The creation of an Action Plan for the coming months
- Parallel WP working sessions of the work packages.
The meeting was an excellent opportunity for the consortium members to get to know each other and to share details about the project, and included a social dinner at the Los Montes de Galicia restaurant in the centre of Madrid. Energy In Time is focused on studying integrated control systems and methodologies to monitor and improve building energy performances.
