The overall\nconsensus of this panel was that European support is needed to help get local\ninitiatives off the ground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The coordinators of all three projects demonstrated their main achievements in the areas of energy, mobility and ICT. Lisa Enarsson from the City of Stockholm (GrowSmarter), for example, exemplified that it is indeed possible to reduce energy consumption of a residential building from the 1960s by 80 %\u00a0 by providing new insulation, four-glass windows as well as smart ventilation and waste water systems. Miguel \u00c1ngel Garc\u00eda Fuentes, Coordinator for Remourban, spoke on mobility and the work done by the City of Nottingham to implement the largest fleet of electric busses in Europe. \u00a0Trinidad Fernandez, our Triangulum Coordinator introduced the vision of Eindhoven to become Europe&#8217;s and Netherlands&#8217; Brainport and innovation hub, along with an innovative example of ICT-based home renovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Detailed\ninsights on the daily work within the cities have been provided by overall six\nsite managers from the various Lighthouse Cities of the three projects. They\npresented the biggest successes as well as the hardest failures from their\nindividual demonstration sites. Amongst other achievements, Gerd Seehuus from\nthe City of Stavanger (Triangulum) demonstrated the tremendous energy savings\nhaving been achieved through the development of a central energy plant based on\n100 % renewable energy that now heats (and cools!) three administrative\nbuildings as well as the city\u2019s public swimming pool and could thus already\nsave over 1000 tons of CO2 since its implementation in 2017. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a\nmajor outcome of this joint session by GrowSmarter, Remourban and Triangulum,\nthe three projects collectively produced <a href=\"https:\/\/triangulum-project.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/JointPolicyPaper_GrowSmarter-Remourban-an-Triangulum.pdf\">a policy paper<\/a> to summarize the experiences\nand the knowledge gained within these five years of smart city implementations.\nThe set of policy recommendations builds upon combined lessons learned to\nsupport other EU cities in their transition towards smart and sustainable\ncities and communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Links:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Policy Paper: <a href=\"https:\/\/triangulum-project.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/JointPolicyPaper_GrowSmarter-Remourban-an-Triangulum.pdf\">https:\/\/triangulum-project.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/JointPolicyPaper_GrowSmarter-Remourban-an-Triangulum.pdf<\/a> <\/li><li>Photos: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/euregionsweek\/albums\/72157711251316062\">https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/euregionsweek\/albums\/72157711251316062<\/a> <\/li><li>EUREG 2019 Session Info:<a href=\"https:\/\/europa.eu\/regions-and-cities\/programme\/sessions\/616_en\"> <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/europa.eu\/regions-and-cities\/programme\/sessions\/616_en\">https:\/\/europa.eu\/regions-and-cities\/programme\/sessions\/616_en<\/a><\/li><li>Growsmarter:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.grow-smarter.eu\"> <\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.grow-smarter.eu\">www.grow-smarter.eu<\/a><\/li><li>Remourban:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.remourban.eu\"> <\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.remourban.eu\">www.remourban.eu<\/a><\/li><li>Triangulum:<a href=\"https:\/\/triangulum-project.eu\"> <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/triangulum-project.eu\">www.triangulum-project.eu<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Download policy paper Download presentation During the European Week of Regions and Cities, the first three Smart Cities and Communities projects GrowSmarter, Remourban and Triangulum, funded by the European Union\u2019s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme, hosted the session \u201cFrom dream to reality: sharing experiences from leading European Smart Cities\u201d at which more than 150 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":4414,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/triangulum-project.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Policy_paper_Visual1.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/triangulum-project.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4410"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/triangulum-project.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/triangulum-project.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/triangulum-project.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/triangulum-project.eu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4410"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/triangulum-project.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4410\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4485,"href":"https:\/\/triangulum-project.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4410\/revisions\/4485"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/triangulum-project.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/4414"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/triangulum-project.eu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4410"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/triangulum-project.eu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4410"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/triangulum-project.eu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4410"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
