Living LAB

The space for contrast and dialogue with users

We carry out pilot tests in collaboration with H-Enea using the Living Lab methodology. In this way, we can extract the knowledge that is generated from the interaction and comparatives with the users.

Home Lab

ACEDE’s centre is H-Enea Living Lab, a “home laboratory” that for 10 years has been carrying out experiments to make innovation at home more accessible to citizens. We do it together with public-private entities, both local and territorial, Basque, national and international.

We watch the home transform

With the historical, economic and social conjuncture, throughout their vital stages, the ways of living have been reformulated (some more individual, others more collective). There are different scenarios for different homes that live in the same reality. At the same time, a small change in gender roles in the performance of tasks at home is perceived, especially in some subgroups of the new generations in the most developed countries.

Contribution of H-Enea to ACEDE

We investigate about changes in the home context

AREAS OF WORK

We bring innovation closer to people by promoting projects in areas such as health, sustainability and cooking at home.

Home Health

We seek, design and test solutions to address demographic aging at home.

Sustainability

When there is a relationship between sustainability and savings, the adoption of innovation is greater.

Kitchen

The kitchen is a system where basic processes related to both physiological, social and emotional needs are developed.

The future is already here, it's just not equally distributed

FUTURE STUDIES

We investigate to respond in advance to the changes that are to come

Reality is increasingly complex and less predictable.

The objective of future studies is to reflect on possible future scenarios, attending to emerging trends collectively.
