BABLE Use Cases are real-world reference projects sharing insights and learnings related to urban sustainable development. Each Use Case contains specific information needed for replication, and links to relevant Smart City Solutions and Products.
Use Case
Energy
Air
Building
TPC identified areas of improvement for the management of the HVAC systems of two buildings. We performed a building energy performance analysis using artificial intelligence techniques to make an accurate prediction of the energy needs of these buildings to reduce their energy inefficiencies.
Use Case
Mobility
Social Responsibility
To support the residents of the rural and isolated neighbourhood Torre Baró, a flexible on-demand mobility service was provided. Additionally, new stops cover the whole residential area of the neighbourhood. The project increased the use of public transport and reduced the use of private cars.
Use Case
Energy
The Municipality of Barcelona tested using the back up batteries of radio base stations, to increase grid flexibility and provide greater stability. In this way, the stations can be disconnected from the grid on demand and use the batteries instead.
Use Case
Energy
ICT
An electricity demand model based on stochastic approach has been developed by IREC using statistical data from Spain (Time Use Data Surveys).The aim is to influence consumer decisions to improve the their appliances' energy labels.
Use Case
ICT
Barcelona´s big data integration solution aims at developing a semantic model that reflects and connects three domains of interest: mobility, energy, and integrated infrastructures.
Use Case
Energy
Building
Home Energy Management Systems (HEMS) are installed in all residential buildings selected to be refurbished by Naturgy in Barcelona. It aims to inform tenants on how to optimize their consumption and reduce their energy bills, by providing information on real-time electricity and gas consumption.
Use Case
ICT
Mobility
Energy
The Smart Tower is a smart solution that provides enhanced wireless access networks. The aim is to support the growing demand of mobile connectivity in the city for broadband mobile connections, IoT services, etc.
Use Case
Energy
Building
ICT
In Barcelona, Endesa deployed an innovative “Data Hub”, named Multiservice Concentrator (MSC), allocated in the secondary substation with the aim to serve as a data node, collecting and managing city data.
Use Case
Building
Energy
Within the GrowSmarter project."Smart local thermal districts" is part of the building refurbishment in Ca l’Alier, which combines on-site electricity generation (PVs) with the local existing DHC network, reducing the consumption of fossil primary energy for heating and cooling production.
Use Case
Energy
Building
ICT
The Virtual Energy Advisor is being developed within the Barcelona Municipality project ‘Take charge of your energy’ with the aim to reduce household electricity consumption by encouraging behavioural changes amongst tenants.
Use Case
Energy
Building
The smart energy and self-sufficient block aims to reduce electric consumption in tertiary buildings through renewable energy, especially photovoltaic.
Use Case
Energy
Building
ICT
The Software Platform called ‘Resource Advisor’ developed by Schneider Electric enables the follow-up of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for the evaluation of the impact of energy retrofitting works in a building.
