SPARA - Your building’s dedicated energy advisor

IBM Watson beat the world champions in Jeopardy in 2011 and was further trained to include Dr. Watson to help diagnose and suggest measures for patients. There is a striking resemblance between doctor and patient, as well as energy and climate advisors and property owners.

The purpose of the project is to investigate how the new artificial intelligence can be applied to extend EKR to tenant-owner associations. The project is based on intelligence, refined data and analysis from the national energy platform Oden and the digital EKR tool that this year's energy and climate advisor 2020 developed during the pandemic to help tenant-owner associations at a distance.

The project develops a digital energy advisor - Spara - which is provided with guided methods for collecting properties' supplementary data and identifying relevant efficiency measures and prioritizing them from energy and financial perspective. Spara is validated in eight house owner associations in this project phase.
