Development of Utilities Management Platform for the case of Quarantine and Lockdown

COVID-19 has changed the very way we live our lives, from how we learn and work to how we interact. It has also brought a number of challenges including the management of building utilities under such conditions. The EU-funded eUMaP project aims to develop an open platform that will enable local and public authorities to better plan and manage the demand and supply of building utilities, including energy, water, waste and telecommunications in situations such as quarantine and lockdown. The Research and Innovation Staff Exchange programme will be key to developing this platform which will be piloted in five European capital cities.
