i-Hub Initiatives

About the project

The Innovation Hub will consist of three priority areas or ‘Initiatives’. The aim of these initiatives is for them to occur across a spectrum – from the research and innovation stage to adoption and use globally – to assist the HVAC&R industry transition to a low-emissions future.

The priority areas include:

Smart Building Data Clearing House – creating access to data for a better understanding of current building performance and energy management.

Living Laboratories (places that enable testing of new technologies under controlled conditions) and Green Proving Grounds (to accelerate market acceptance and adoption of innovative building technologies)

Integrated Design Studios – facilitates collaborations with building owners and the design industry
