Climate change is widely recognised as one of the major environmental problems facing the world. Investments in energy efficiency combat global climate change in terms of clean energy structures and a low carbon economy to promote a sustainable development. A low carbon economy is a framework including concepts such as low carbon production and consumption, low carbon living and cities.
eLUX operates in this framework and devotes its research activities to model and implement solar test facilities, smart grid, smart controllers, smart electric vehicles, energy storage, and building automation. The final goal is to transform the “Modulo” in a living lab, namely a “cognitive building” where companies, researchers, and students can share their specific skills. eLUX is also a vitual lab that allows for sharing data of the facilities installed in the Campus via e-Cloud.
