Virtual energy advisor by Barcelona municipality
[...]
Providing information on real-time energy usage and waste levels to tenants is a key tool to help them see and reduce their own environmental footprint. 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 minimum 10% by encouraging behavioural changes amongst tenants.
Use Case
Low Temperature District Heating (LTDH) and Smart Controllers
[...]
• NCC created an efficient citywide heat network.
• The project enabled Nottingham to cope with climate change and build resilience to external energy prices
• The heat source is Energy from Waste (EfW), which is recovered by the incineration of waste; offsetting approx. 27K tonnes of CO2 emissions per year
• Customers received a far more efficient energy supply than those with gas boiler

Smart Street Lighting in Tartu
[...]
The smart street light solution that will be implemented in Tartu is simple and can be deployed quickly even on a large scale. The solution enables municipalities to start saving right from the moment of introducing the solution without having to worry about the payback period. Furthermore, as savings are instant, it will also reduce the payback period of the LED luminaire. The successful installment of the solution will also enable other smart city innovations based on the same technology and principles, such as smart parking, smart traffic management and smart waste management.
