  University of Ruse (in partnership with Association Municipal Energy Agency and Municipality of Ruse) began its work on a project with the acronym BECA - Balanced European Conservation Approach. It has been launched by Eurhonet / UCH / empirica to address theme 1 of the currently open ICT PSP Programme, "ICT for a low carbon economy and smart mobility", with Objective 1.1. ICT for energy and water efficiency in social housing. The consortium on this project includes partners from Germany, France, Spain, Bulgaria, Italy, The Czech Republic, Sweden, Serbia.

   The Pilot Type B project with period of implementation 01.01.2011 – 31.12.2013 will demonstrate how an appropriate range of advanced ICT based services can contribute directly to reducing resource use in social housing by more than 15% under real conditions. These services will be designed to markedly improve management (including self-management by tenants) of demand for energy, utilising in particular:

• smart metering of primary energy, heat and water coupled with;
• advanced support to demand management and self-management as well as;
• ICT-based management of renewables, storage etc. in a residential neighbourhood.
