energy-in-time

On Tuesday 19th, the meeting began with an introduction made by Heikki Rostila, of Caverion, who thanked all the guests for their attendance and congratulated them on finally reaching such a far away land for the majority of people as it Levi, located in Finnish Lapland. The committee guests had the opportunity to know in forehand the cultural and touristic offer of the region thanks to the exhibition that a local touristic manager made.

After that, the committee walked through the Levi Panorama Hotel facilities, so they could see at first hand the operation of the many different energy systems of the hotel, which will serve as one of the demo-sites for the Energy In Time project.

Real work began on the afternoon, when each one of the leaders of the different work packages started their exhibitions about the advances achieved in their respective areas, as well as they came to an agreement on how to solve possible mishaps.

That night, it took place the fellowship gala, which was celebrated in the incomparable eyesight that a frozen lake next to the hotel facilities gives, and in where the guests enjoyed not only typical Finnish plates but also the hospitality of the Finnish population.  The most brave ones dived later into the frozen waters of the lake, a non-recommendatory experience for those sensitive to the cold.

On Wednesday 20th, the objective of the working tables was to coordinate the diverse modules and the members of the technical areas of the committee reviewed the protocols for data entry and output of the different components of the final application.   Then, the managers of the areas of dissemination and exploitation  showed the advances made in the creation of communication/marketing plans as well as in the market analysis of the different key exploitation results.

Finally, Belén Gómez, manager of the Energy In Time committee, finished the meeting by offering a general vision of the project status and explaining which would be the next milestones for the project to face for the next 6 months until the 6th steering committee takes place.
