Living Laboratories – Green Proving Grounds
These proposed Living Laboratories will be spaces where owners, suppliers, users and researchers can collaborate, create and reflect on alternative solutions for affordable heating and cooling. The Living Laboratories will also act as a ‘Green Proving Ground’, where suppliers can validate the performance and applicability of their technologies.
The creation of data and user stories will help accelerate the adoption of emerging products and services, in a similar manner to the US Green Proving Ground initiative.
Examples of what can be achieved in the aged care sector can be seen here.
