Energenius: WebRatio’s contribution to turning energy efficiency into a digital experience

The European Energenius project, an initiative co-funded by Horizon Europe, is moving into an increasingly active phase, confirming a clear vision: making the energy transition more accessible, participatory, and tangible through the integration of advanced digital tools, AI-driven decision-making systems, gamification, and sustainability-oriented services.

A Digital Ecosystem with users at the center

Energenius was created to support more conscious and sustainable energy choices, placing every citizen at the center of an ecosystem where technology, community, and positive behaviors reinforce one another. 

The project includes the development of a suite of digital tools designed to help users better understand their energy consumption, receive personalized recommendations, visualize energy and environmental data, and actively participate in energy efficiency initiatives. 

These tools include solutions such as building digital twins, dashboards for monitoring consumption and emissions, AI-based decision support systems, and engagement mechanisms designed to make sustainability not only measurable, but also easier to adopt in everyday life.

WebRatio’s role: the Energenius Digital Marketplace

Within the Energenius project, WebRatio acts as a technology partner in the design and development of the digital marketplace. 

The marketplace will be the space where users can use a digital currency, based on credits earned through the project’s gamification mechanisms, to access products and services related to energy efficiency, sustainable consumption, and more environmentally responsible behaviors. 

Thanks to its experience in Low-Code development and enterprise digital platforms, WebRatio is helping create a scalable, secure, and integrated environment capable of supporting interaction among users, energy providers, communities, digital tools, and reward systems.

European Pilots and the 3L methodology

Energenius adopts an experimental methodology called “Leaders-Learners-Listeners,” designed to validate, refine, and replicate solutions across different real-world European contexts. 

This methodology allows the project to test technologies not in abstract environments, but in concrete settings: living labs, residential buildings, local communities, public spaces, and facilities with different climate, social, and operational characteristics. 

The results of this initiative will contribute not only to improving solutions for local stakeholders, but also to the broader mission of the project: making energy efficiency more accessible, replicable, and closely aligned with people’s everyday needs. 

The pilot sites are divided into three categories, involving several European organizations:

• the Leaders, which test the most advanced solutions and serve as reference points for energy innovation. 

  • EMPA (Switzerland)

  • Transilvania IT (Romania)

  • Voltiva Energy (Spain)

  • INNO (Greece)
     

• the Learners, which apply and adapt already validated tools, integrating sensors, digital twins, and mentorship pathways.

  • ZENTRIX (Serbia)

  • DTT (Germany)

  • USUST (Ukraine)
     

• the Listeners, which observe, collect feedback, and help make the solutions more accessible, scalable, and replicable. 

  • EUR (Netherlands)

  • EDENTIFY (Estonia)

  • ETRA (Spain)

  • WebRatio and Servitly (Italy)

The pilot involving WebRatio includes 28 stakeholders across 20 residential buildings and focuses on the development of scalable, community-driven energy management strategies that can be applied to real urban contexts. 

It represents an ideal environment for observing how Energenius tools can support data collection, user engagement, and the adoption of more sustainable behaviors within a complex urban ecosystem.

Low-Code, sustainability, and European Innovation

WebRatio’s participation in Energenius confirms the company’s commitment to developing digital solutions that support sustainable innovation. 

In a project involving international partners, pilot contexts distributed across Europe, and advanced technological tools, Low-Code represents an important enabler: it makes it possible to accelerate development, rapidly adapt solutions to emerging local needs, and create scalable platforms that can evolve over time.

For WebRatio, Energenius is an opportunity to apply its technological expertise to a concrete challenge: contributing to the development of a future where energy, digital innovation, and sustainability are increasingly integrated. 

As Roberto Acerbis, CEO of WebRatio, stated, working on the Energenius project means helping reimagine the future and make it more sustainable from an ecological, social, and economic perspective. 

With Energenius, the energy transition becomes a digital, collaborative, and measurable experience, and WebRatio is proud to help turn this vision into concrete tools for citizens, businesses, and communities.
