Research & Innovation

What We Bring to the Table

EosNova offers a rich living lab environment with 20+ buildings across residential, business, and office settings, where partners can access high-resolution data streams, test solutions in real living conditions, and work with an active local community ready to participate in pilots and co-creation. Our data platform (backed by tools like InfluxDB and Grafana) and our team’s extensive experience in European research projects make us a reliable partner for research and innovation solutions.

Our Multi-Context Living Lab

Our living lab in Ioannina, Greece, offers partners access to high-resolution data, diverse pilot sites across 20+ buildings (including short- and long-term rentals, businesses, and offices), and a team with extensive experience in EU research projects.

EosNova-Owned

9-apartment complex

This complex, located on the outskirts of the city, is fully owned and managed by EosNova, ensuring complete control over installations, long-term stability, and uninterrupted access for research activities.

4 long-term residential units → continuous, stable data.
5 short-term tourist units → dynamic, high-variability behaviour.
Photovoltaic installation → On-site renewable energy generation and storage, enabling additional research on production–consumption dynamics, self-consumption, and energy optimisation.

Extended network

Apart from our own apartments, we can also offer access to energy generation assets and an extended network of 10+ buildings with distinct load profiles in the city:

Existing operational 10 kWp PV installation.
Households.
Small Businesses.
Offices.

Sensors and data

Each unit is equipped with the following sensors, collecting data continuously:

Smart meters (aggregate energy, power, voltage, current, power factor, frequency).
Smart plugs (appliance-level energy, power, voltage, current).
Multisensors (temperature, humidity, illuminance, occupancy).
Mini-PC running Docker, enabling local processing and edge computing.
Data infrastructure: all sensor data are stored in InfluxDB for long-term time-series management and visualised through Grafana dashboards for monitoring, analysis, and research use.
