The measures implemented focus on three themes - people, place and platform. We adopted a ‘digital first’ approach to all three themes. To develop scalable solutions, we made sure all technologies were designed around the needs of participating cities, and importantly, the people who inhabit these cities. This was achieved through engagement and collaboration (such as co-design), and co-creating use cases that are applicable to a variety of stakeholders. We have carried out user-centred design activities that explore how the end user will interact with the smart measures we are creating, and we have co-designed the measures with a range of partners, including city governments, businesses and citizens.
Some highlights from implementation of our measures include:
16 buildings retrofitted with energy efficiency measures in Milan, Lisbon and Greenwich saves 1,713 tonnes of CO2 per year.
6,124,500 kWh/m2 decrease in building energy needs as a result of energy efficiency measures retrofitted to buildings across Milan, Lisbon and Greenwich (across an area of 67,612 sqm)
4,514 tons CO2 emissions saved as a result of shared mobility measures across London, Lisbon and Milan
London Data Store – This now has the capability to accept live data from smart infrastructure, which will feed into the design of the next iteration of the world’s leading city-led open data platform.
Digital community engagement and behaviour change
2,400 Smart Lampposts in Milan, Greenwich and Lisbon upgraded with smart features to provide energy management, mobility, environmental monitoring, and other services centred around citizens’ needs.
€265 million leveraged in smart technologies to accelerate the shift to greener and more energy efficient cities. 110 investment opportunities identified across 40 cities with an investment potential of €1billion
10% - further energy savings on top of other building retrofit measures. Monitoring of the SEMS measure shows that it can achieve a further 10% energy savings on top of the retrofit measures, generating significant interest from other city authorities.
4,233 Digital Social Market users in Milan, Lisbon and Greenwich participating in local sustainable behaviour change actions
Up to 50% energy savings from retrofits to buildings in Milan, Lisbon and Greenwich
