Objectives: Elaboration of the solar radiation model (STO1) and integration in the web-based GIS interface (STO3).
WP2
WP2 – Experiment and monitoring
Objectives: Validate and calibrate numerical model via in-field acquisition of solar (STO2) and climate (STO4) data.
WP3
WP3 – Pilot neighbourhoods
Objectives: Creation of detailed 3D model of the pilot neighbourhoods with high LoD for both roofs and facades structure based on combination of LIDAR survey. Deploying solar radiation model for analyses at building, neighbourhood, and cityscape (STO2).
WP4
WP4 – 3D modelling & Solar digitalization
Objectives: Digitalization and visualisation of solar irradiation data via an open access web-based GIS interface (STO3). Advanced computer graphics algorithms will allow visualising outcomes using 3D-visualization techniques of cityscape model.
WP5
WP5 – Weather data forecasting & PV prediction
Objectives: Data forecasting to predict energy generation under different time horizons of climate change. (STO4).
Objectives: Strong and continuous engagement of relevant stakeholders (e.g. TM, Committee and working groups on NTNU campus development, start-ups) and participation of end-users (i.e. citizens) into the project and of processing and feeding back the findings into the other WPs. The WP aims to transfer outcomes of the project into local and national policies.
WP7
WP7 – Management and dissemination
Objectives: Ensure effective execution of the project through continuous follow-up of activities and implementation of dedicated strategies to prevent delays/drawbacks. Human resource management, budget and activity management are core aspects of this WP, together with plans and implementation for dissemination.
Application plans for international research funding will be developed in this WP building on the results achieved in Helios proposal (primarily EU-MSCA-ITN/-IF). This will expand the scope of the project and accelerate knowledge development in the field of solar energy in built environment. Estimation of time, costs, and human resources necessary for project implementation are set.
During the project’s execution, the achievement of the project goals will be supported by several initiatives. Parallel to conventional project management activities (follow-up of ongoing activities, monitoring of costs and deliverables, regular meetings with research partners and human resources employed in the project), three actions are planned to ensure the project’s successful execution:
1. Training and continuing education for the PM on leadership (in research) and project management;
2. Tutoring in project management by an experienced project manager (Prof. Bjørn Petter Jelle NTNU);
3. Establish an International Advisory Board members: David Moser (European Academy of Bozen), Angèle Reinders (University of Twente), Miguel Centeno Brito (University of Lisbon), Wilfried van Sark (Utrecht University)].
The IAB will verify the project’s activities to ensure high scientific quality and provide technical feedback in annual meetings.
