Ecological focus

The ecological focus when examining digitalization in energy research in the built environment aims to evaluate environmental impacts resulting from the use of digital applications. This includes assessing both positive effects, such as energy savings, and potential negative effects, like increased material consumption. Adequate data handling and its implications are also discussed in this context.
