In the framework of BERLIN project a Webinar on the smart Online Tool was organised, under the leadership of the University of Western Macedonia. The online tool aims to promote self-sufficiency in buildings with flexible loads, by properly sizing the photovoltaic and battery storage systems to be installed in a building, and by providing an efficient schedule for the flexible loads.

The tool calculates the proper size of a hybrid PV+storage system to achieve one of the following objectives:

1. Maximum self-sufficiency
2. Maximum net present value
3. Cost-effective solutions for enhanced self-sufficiency

The tool can be used by building owners or managers to enhance the energy self-sufficiency of buildings exploiting photovoltaics, energy storage, and demand-side management.
