Thomas Heimer, member of the Council of Experts and of the SmartLivingNEXT accompanying research project, explains that these are, initially, short-term effects. Smart living applications could also achieve such energy savings in the long term and sustainably. <\/p>\n\n<p>Marieke Rohde (VDI\/VDE-IT), head of the SmartLivingNEXT accompanying research project, believes the key is in the SmartLivingNEXT ecosystem: &#8220;To achieve climate targets sustainably, we need technologies that help people to change their actions permanently. SmartLivingNEXT contributes to this.&#8221; In addition to saving energy, the focus is also on reducing costs in residential buildings: \u201cThe SmartLivingNEXT data ecosystem enables the development of applications in the areas of energy efficiency, care assistance, building management and home security, all of which reduce costs in residential buildings in the long term.&#8221; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greenhouse gas emissions in the property sector fell more sharply in 2023 than in 2022, according to the latest figures from the German Federal Environment Agency.
