A pilot project refers to a limited, clearly defined test run designed to evaluate new technologies in a real-world environment before full-scale implementation. In the building sector, pilot projects are used to test energy optimization systems, building sensors, or automation solutions. This approach provides a solid foundation for making decisions about broader implementation and helps identify potential errors and challenges early on. The test run can reveal significant optimization opportunities and confirm feasibility, while also minimizing the risk of errors during the actual implementation. Increased user acceptance is another advantage. However, the data and insights gained from the pilot may not always be directly transferable to larger settings and conditions.
