A new way of living will get underway in the bustling Eindhoven district of Strijp-S in November this year. The residents will move into NEXT, the first residential building in the Netherlands, which provides smart energy consumption. Bouwinvest and its partners VolkerWessels iCity and TNO will carry out research into the smart home concept - over the upcoming years as part of the European Interconnect project - which continues to involve residents in the development and use of their homes.
