description: The BIGG project achieved its targets by developing: 1) The Open Source BIGG Data Reference Architecture 4 Buildings for collection/funnelling, processing and exchanging data from different sources (smart meters, sensors, BMS, existing data sets); 2) An interoperable buildings data specification, BIGG Standard Data Model 4 Buildings, based on the combination of elements from existing frameworks and EC directives, such as SAREF, INSPIRE, BIM, EPCHub enhanced to reach full interoperability of building dates; 3) An extensible, open, cloud-compatible BIGG Data Analytics Toolbox of service modules for batch and real-time analytics that supports a wide range of services, new business models and support reliable and effective policy-making.

WP7 aimed at setting the foundation for effective exploitation and deployment of results into the market. Its main goal was to support the developments by providing: 1) a clear picture of already existing standards, and 2) all the tools and support for ensuring great market impacts of the exploitable results developed in WP3, WP4 and WP5 and demonstrated in WP6. This third iteration of WP7’s deliverable provides the final version of contribution to standardisation actions and a final Market2Go strategy including BIGG impact.

During the first year of the project, Task 7.1 focused on studying the use cases, technical requirements and specifications done in WP2 (general framework) and WP4 (central data model), in order to identify all existing standards, standardisation committees and international initiatives that could be of interest for the project. During the second and third years of the project, technical work packages started developing new ideas and concepts by collaborating with identified committees and international initiatives, technically implementing the standards in the project and produce “standardizable” results and actively contributing to standardisation by promoting BIGG experiments and results.

From the exploitation point of view, Task 7.2 focused on defining and implementing an exploitation strategy to facilitate the successful exploitation and adoption of results and benefits within stakeholders. This effort was documented in Deliverable D7.2, where a Market Analysis for each of the Business Cases or Use Cases (in case of multiple Use Cases within a Business Case) and listing the Exploitable Results and their connection with the Use Cases was offered. In addition, Exploitable Results which relate to the whole project and facilitate the Use Cases were identified and described.

The current document focuses on Task 7.3 – “Exploitation and Sustainability plans including cost-benefit and impact analysis”. Using the results of Task 7.2 as starting point, Business and Use Cases were consolidated into Blocks that better reflect BIGG Market2Go products and services that have been thoroughly tested in BIGG pilot sites. The methodology presented in prior Deliverables (D7.1 & D7.2) has been reworked with the main results updated, in order to fit the new perspective. The three Business Case Block M2G products, have 2 variations depending on whether BIGG Solution is for an end-user or by a provider. Market Analysis and Lean Canvas provide the Market Assessment and Value, Cost and Revenue streams, while Exploitable Results now identify BIGG components which allow IPR protection and agreements to be drafted flowing bilateral agreements among partners as stated in the Consortium Agreement.
