Efficiently heating a building, and especially an educational institutions with many lecture rooms that are only partly used, is a real challenge to minimise energy consumption while maintaining a sufficient comfort for users.

The first demonstrator developed by ESTA Belfort consists en a connected thermostatic valve. Based on a given prototype, multi disciplinary groups of ESTA 4th years students with industrial and digital specialisations optimise the layout, add sensors, and develop an application to visualise captured data.

The DigiDemo project aims at strengthening the students’ knowledge and competencies within digitalization and sustainability while developing new products. To support this objective, 20 educational demonstrators are developed by the partners in the project intended to enable new educational activities within digitalization and sustainability. The concept of the demonstrators is to exemplify various aspects of product digitalizing and sustainability, aimed at educational programmes, both within the field of mechanics, IT, and Sales.

UCN now presents their first demonstrator, a smart chair. The demonstrator is already used in class and appreciated by the students. Read more.
