2 Two campuses: Eskilstuna and Västerås students and 900 employees Mälardalen University offers education within the following areas: Management Education Health and Welfare Teacher Education Engineering and Technology Close cooperation with research-intensive companies such as ABB, Volvo and Ericsson, but also with municipalities and county councils Agreements with universities in over 40 countries around the world

3 The prize challenge LYS has been arranged in collaboration between Mälardalen University, Eskilstuna and Västerås (municipalities) and Sustainable Business Mälardalen (Susbiz). Win-win : Municipalities will receive solutions to their needs and problems The companies have the opportunity to test their innovations and prototypes The university gets new insights and new research collaborations. Sweden needs more innovative climate-efficient technology solutions!

4 1. The municipalities identified problems within the area of energy efficiency that needed solutions. 2. Companies were asked to enter the competition and suggest innovative solutions. 3. A jury with experts selected the winners. 4. The winners get the opportunity to test their solutions/products in test beds in the city of Västerås and Eskilstuna together with researchers from Mälardalen University. 5. The winners will also get advice on how to develop their businesses, as part of the prize.

7 HALO Description: HALO is a solution where the interior and exterior blinds automatically interact. The motorized sunshades, both internally and externally, is fixed into the side sections so that the sunshade climbs continuously over the entire window surface with full flexibility. Jury of LYS: This solution can adjust light intensity, for each individual window in existing buildings. This can reduce both unwanted heating during the day, as well as heat radiation at night.

8 SP3 Description: SP3 leads, by means of lenses and optical fibers, sunlight deep into the buildings so as to provide healthy sunlight in places that were previously inaccessible. The optical fibre can be installed just as easily as power cables. It provides full solar spectrum light, and thereby reduces the need for artificial light. Jury of LYS: The ability to lead the sunlight into rooms without windows provide increased quality of life. Combined with LED lighting, SP3 can also spread the light when it is dark outside.

9 Saber Visualizer Description: Saber Visualizer is a visualization system that helps property owners to reduce energy consumption by percent by measurement, visualization and user interaction. Users engaged by the system in real-time visualizing consumption so that users see the connection between what they do and how much energy consuming activities. Jury of LYS: This solution has a system with a new web environment. Users can easily personalize the visualizations by selecting graphics and symbols from a library, configure the visualization and post it on various visualization screens.

10 Tjänsteplattformen Energiinfo Description: Energy info is a platform in the energyrelated services, which includes a data portal for storing, handling of measurements, analysis of energy consumptioning data, and visualization. The platform can replace all visualization tools currently used by energy and real estate companies and industries, as well as being a highly complementary tool for municipalities in their energy efficiency efforts. The platform makes it possible to combine measurement systems from different suppliers together with innovative new services for both PC, tablet or mobile. Jury of LYS: This system is a brilliant step towards an open platform environment. The solution is linked to the presentation of the many variables that customers want to know more about, such as electricity, hot water, heat, cold etc...
