Bernadette Fina wins Science Award of Lower Austria

Austria took place in Grafenegg. Bernadette Fina, Center for Energy, was awarded a recognition prize for her research on different aspects of energy communities. Her research deals with the topics of the profitability of energy communities in single multi-apartment buildings as well as between several buildings, with the optimization and optimal dimensioning [...] with thorough building renovation on the profitability of energy communities and the potential estimation of cost-optimal photovoltaic capacities in case of a roll-out of energy communities.
