Horizon2020-project mySMARTLife arranged the fourth periodic meeting in Helsinki. Venue was the brand new Metropolia campus.

Almost hundred project members from Lighthouse cities Hamburg, Nantes and Helsinki and follower cities Bydgoszcz (Pol), Rijeka (Cro) and Palentia (Spa) were participating in the meeting.

The mySMARTLife project aims at making the three Lighthouse Cities more environmentally friendly by reducing the CO₂ emissions of cities and increasing the use of renewable energy sources.

Salusfin role in the project is related to

• Smart heating solution with district heating demand-response functionality together with Helen Ltd
• Smart personal E-vehicle charging solution

Salusfin is delivering a IoT/ Cloud-based Measurements-made-visible solution to City of Oulu. Delivery is related to CityIoT-project.

The measurements are related to electricity usage (whole building and sub-metering) and environmental sensor values.

Users have access to consumption and sensor data with their mobile devices using a QR-code. Users can also report their alertness using their mobile devices (alertness is mapped with CO2-levels). In Visualizations solution uses traffic light type of tower light and a buzzer.

Delivery can be extended triggering one or more options.

Salusfin delivered a smart IoT-based ventilation machine controls to Metropolia University of Applied Sciences in Helsinki.
Data used for controlling consists of electricity spot price and sensor values (temperature, humidity and CO2).
Delivery is part of Salusfin Buildings-made-Smarter concept.

The Growth Path of Energy Innovation (Energiainnovaatioiden Kasvupolku) chooses 15 innovative growth companies. A total of 39 companies applied for the growth path.

The jury evaluated the applicant companies based on selection criteria. The criteria were: an innovative business idea, market potential, clear customer need, team and expertise, and a desire for growth.
