Vehicle to building (V2b), IREC

The document discusses using electric vehicles to provide flexibility and grid services through vehicle-to-building bidirectional charging. It summarizes a pilot that demonstrated integrating EVs, buildings, and local energy generation through bidirectional chargers and an energy management system. The pilot showed reductions in CO2 emissions, energy consumption, and energy costs of 17.6%, 13.0%, and 16.0% respectively. However, challenges remain around technology maturity, business models, social acceptance, and regulation that need to be addressed for vehicle-to-everything solutions to scale. The plan is to deploy new pilots and work to include vehicle-to-grid capabilities in grid codes and standards.

Ian perry dutch smart metering forum

Dutch Power

This document provides an overview and agenda for the Dutch Smart Metering Forum. It summarizes the work of ONZO, a company that uses smart meter and other data to provide utilities insights into customer energy usage and engagement solutions. ONZO's technology can identify individual appliances and analyze lifestyle and behavioral patterns to develop customer profiles. These profiles can then help utilities optimize tariffs, target specific product and service offerings, and affect demand response. The benefits for utilities include reducing costs, improving marketing and customer engagement, and increasing revenue opportunities.

The document summarizes the results of sustainable urban mobility projects in three cities from the GrowSmarter initiative. It describes 17 smart solutions implemented across Barcelona, Cologne, and Stockholm, including smart building logistics, sustainable deliveries via cargo bikes, smart traffic management through modeling and signal prioritization, increasing electric vehicle charging infrastructure and numbers, and smart mobility stations. It notes that active mobility like walking and cycling are always smart, cities must orchestrate mobility measures, technology solutions must consider their context, and most measures significantly reduced emissions and energy consumption.

Financing smart sustainable cities

This document discusses financing smart sustainable cities. It focuses on economic and financial analysis for smart city projects. The analysis involves examining the socio-economic context of cities, financial analysis of individual measures, economic impacts of measures, and developing business models. Understanding the context is important for determining if projects are suitable and investments feasible. The analysis also considers whole economic impacts rather than just the perspective of individual companies. Business models for smart city projects need to align with goals, be self-reinforcing, and robust. The document uses examples from Stockholm, Cologne, and Barcelona to illustrate these points.

Mobility stations, City of Cologne

The document summarizes Cologne's efforts in the GrowSmarter project to promote sustainable urban mobility. It introduced car-sharing and e-mobility options to reduce privately owned cars, installed additional charging infrastructure, and implemented bike-sharing and signage to encourage behavioral changes. The project aims to reduce traffic and parking needs in the city. Results and replication plans for these sustainable mobility measures will be presented.

Big consolidated open data platform, [ui!]

This document summarizes the results of the GrowSmarter project, which aimed to integrate infrastructure data from multiple European cities into consolidated open data platforms. The key points are: 1) An open urban data platform called "UrbanPULSE" was created to integrate 13 different data sources from infrastructure measures in Stockholm, Cologne, and Barcelona. 2) Lessons learned included the importance of gaining acceptance from data providers, developing use cases, establishing legal frameworks, and defining data quality before connecting sources. 3) The conclusions were that cities need standardized and flexible platforms, political support, and to handle data ethically and securely to ensure successful urban data sharing.

RolandSyntens

This document discusses intelligent lighting and its benefits. It notes that traditional street lighting wastes a significant amount of energy and emits high levels of carbon dioxide. A solution called intelligent or adaptive lighting is proposed. This system uses outdoor sensors and a wireless network to monitor lighting needs and only illuminates areas when motion is detected. This can reduce energy usage by up to 80% and lower maintenance costs. Examples of intelligent lighting installations in parking lots, residential areas, campuses and roadways are provided. The system enhances safety while reducing light pollution and costs. It may also serve as a foundation for broader smart city applications in the future.

Microdistribution of freight, City of Barcelona

The document discusses using urban consolidation centers (UCCs) and electric cargo bikes for microdistribution of freight as a more sustainable alternative to traditional delivery trucks. A UCC pilot project in Barcelona found a 95.9% reduction in CO2 emissions, lower noise levels, improved delivery rates, and reduced traffic. Lessons learned indicate UCCs with electric bikes effectively reduce environmental and congestion impacts while lowering costs for carriers. Collaboration between local governments and operators is key to ensuring service sustainability and increased knowledge of microdistribution operations.

This document discusses the rise of decentralized energy units like electric vehicles, storage technologies, and solar PV in Germany and how platforms can facilitate local electricity markets for these "prosumers." It suggests that platforms can: 1) democratize market access and provide on-demand access to services; 2) utilize underused assets by enabling people to sell excess electricity; and 3) create online marketplaces granting access to these assets. The key innovations of platforms are that they connect supply and demand to unlock innovations and create new profit centers in a sustainable way. The document presents business models for how a platform called EMPOWER could integrate prosumers into local electricity marketplaces.

Building energy retrofitting, naturgy

This document summarizes the results of the GrowSmarter project, which implemented energy efficiency retrofits in European cities. Over 30,000 square meters of building area were refurbished across several projects in Barcelona involving building insulation, window replacement, heating system upgrades, and smart home technologies. The retrofits achieved energy savings of 12-41% as well as improvements in air leakage, thermal comfort, and some cases, property values. However, the document notes barriers like complex regulations, long payback periods, and fragmented building ownership that must be addressed for widespread residential retrofitting. It calls for new business models and policies to better support the private sector in driving the large market potential for energy efficiency and renewable energy in buildings.

The document analyzes the opening titles of the film "Semi-Permanent Sydney 2015". The titles use white text on a dark background, setting a mysterious tone. As the door opens in the titles, it signifies the photographer opening the door to the rest of the film. Throughout, the music builds intensity and the shots grow wider, suggesting the main character will experience something extraordinary. The use of lighting through a gap portrays there is something beyond what is shown, and the ending title continues the theme of opening up to the rest of the story in an unusual way that entices the audience.

What do SSPs mean for Maryland

Mary Beth Levin

This document discusses the benefits of Syringe Services Programs (SSPs) in Maryland. It notes that Maryland has a high rate of HIV diagnoses from injection drug use. The Baltimore SSP program has been operating since 1994, exchanging around 500,000 needles annually and linking users to health services and drug treatment. Studies show the Baltimore SSP has contributed to reductions in HIV diagnoses attributed to drug use and opioid overdose deaths. SSPs can help address public health issues like HIV, hepatitis C, and overdoses at a relatively low cost through preventing disease transmission and connecting drug users to services.
