The MESTRI-CE Smart Data Hub was presented at the World Sustainable Energy Days 2026, one of Europe’s leading annual conferences on sustainable energy, held in Wels, Austria.
As part of the event, Young Energy Researchers Conference, researchers Ella Jollands from e7 energy innovation & engineering and Ana Marija Spindler from the Jožef Stefan Institute (Energy Efficiency Centre) presented a poster introducing the MESTRI-CE Smart Data Hub.
The Smart Data Hub is an innovative digital tool designed to support energy-efficient management of buildings in both the public and private sectors. By integrating and analysing building-related data, the tool helps stakeholders better understand energy performance, identify improvement opportunities, and support strategic decision-making for renovation and energy management.
During the four-day event, the researchers engaged with experts from academia, policymaking, and industry, exchanging insights on current challenges in building energy management. Discussions focused on the growing need for data-driven approaches to improve building performance and accelerate renovation efforts across Europe. The Smart Data Hub sparked interest as a practical solution that can support municipalities, building owners, and energy professionals in making informed decisions.
Events like the World Sustainable Energy Days provide a valuable platform for sharing innovative tools and fostering collaboration across sectors and countries. Bringing together researchers, practitioners, and policymakers, the conference continues to play an important role in advancing solutions for the sustainable energy transition.
We would like to sincerely thank the organisers of the World Sustainable Energy Days for creating such an inspiring environment and for bringing together brilliant minds united by a common goal: accelerating the transition to sustainable energy systems.
