Research - Horw, Lucerne, Switzerland
The iHomeLab team at the Lucerne School of Engineering & Architecture is researching how intelligent buildings can reduce energy consumption or enable older people to live longer in their own homes. The results of the research projects are presented in the iHomeLab Visitor Center on the Campus in Horw and explained in an comprehensible way. The main research areas of the iHomeLab are "Active Assisted Living" - living independently in a smart home into old age thanks to networked connectivity, "Smart Energy Management" - improving energy management in buildings without compromising comfort, and "Safe Building Intelligence" - providing customized support through intelligent buildings. The iHomeLab is the unique showcase that presents current research projects in the way of narratives, making technology and research tangible and understandable.
