In a recent article, the World Economic Forum highlighted the importance of improving building #energyefficiency and grid resilience for a sustainable future. At WeForming, we are already leading the way! Our approach focuses on #iGFBs - structures equipped with smart technologies and designed to actively support a greener energy ecosystem - and is driven by four core pillars: 🔋 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 - optimising energy consumption and reducing emissions; 🔗 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 - ensuring seamless and secure data exchange for decentralised smart energy interactions; 💼 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐬 - developing and validating sustainable business models for the integration of iGFBs solutions; 🏙️ 𝐒𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 - creating a regulatory blueprint and policy recommendations for wider societal adoption.

💡📖 Are you familiar with the role of grid-supporting services? Grid-supporting services are essential for maintaining the stability, reliability, and efficiency of an #EnergyGrid by balancing supply and demand. Power plants, energy storage systems, and demand response programs all contribute with these services to ensure the grid's operational integrity. ⚡️ WeForming is transforming buildings from passive energy consumers into active grid participants. #iGFBs will provide not only grid-supporting services like voltage, frequency, and power flow regulation, but also grid-forming services that include, for instance, energizing grid sections during blackouts and aiding local grid restoration through coordinated actions across multiple buildings. This enhances grid resilience and fosters bidirectional interaction between #buildings and the energy ecosystem. 🌐 Curious to explore the future of energy with us?
