FCE – Center for a Clever the Facade of the Future

CEF – experimental research center of FCE

CEF (Room 306) research center is dedicated to a research of intelligent and promising building façade systems. It is set up in the multifunctional USP TECHNICOM building, which is the first in Košice and in the wider region of eastern and central Slovakia to have designed and implemented building envelope with a double transparent, energy, cybernetic, climate façade.

Two variants of the façade can be found on the building: standard, with a year-round open circuit (the whole south-west facing façade) and experimental (the south-east facing façade). The center is equipped to control this experimental façade.

Equipment: The workplace is equipped with a set of measuring and processing equipment in the following areas:

  • measurement of meteorological variables of outdoor environment;
  • measurement of sensory variables of the interior environment;
  • measurement of air flow variables in the façade interspace;
  • measurement of thermal-technical quantities in the façade;
  • measurement of thermo – optical quantities of transparent structures;
  • equipment for collecting and processing the aforementioned measured quantities.

EPIC (EP Innovation Centre)

EPIC – international research and development workplace of TUKE and EPH/EPC

EPIC – Artificial Intelligence and Data Science will support research and innovation in the field of energy commodity supply and trading

The Centre is focused on advancing the state of knowledge, research and innovation in the energy and industrial sectors, particularly in the areas of modelling, analysis and prediction in the supply and trading of energy commodities.

EPH (EnergetickĂ˝ a PrĹŻmyslovĂ˝ Holding) – https://www.epholding.cz is a leading Central European energy group that owns and operates facilities in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, Ireland, France and Switzerland.

The key founders of EPIC are employees of the London office of EPC (EP Commodities) and KKUI FEEI TUKE (Department of Cybernetics and Artificial Intelligence, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Technical University of Košice).

EPC specializes in pan-European trading, transit and storage of energy commodities (natural gas, electricity, emission allowances, coal, structural products – spreads).

Research and innovation projects at EPIC, including theses by students and PhD students, are focused on the field of analysis and financial modelling of energy markets with an emphasis on sustainability and energy security. These activities are also based on modern artificial intelligence and data science methods in line with the European vision of Industry 5.0. Students from TUKE and other universities have access to the centre’s facilities and state-of-the-art equipment, real data resources, guidance and consultation by experienced experts on both sides, which also allows them to gain better job opportunities in companies with similar economic activities to those of the EPH Group. EPIC is also open to cooperation with interested parties outside TUKE and EPH.
