Currently, these are still <em>draft<\/em> impacts as we are still checking and calculating final values. Look up our final impact report when it becomes publicly available (Deliverable 2.6, to be published <a href=\"https:\/\/triangulum-project.eu\/?page_id=119\">here<\/a>), which will contain further updates and details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Module\nLevel Impacts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>257 impact indicators have been finalised across the 26 modules being implemented in the Lighthouse Cities. The overall impacts in the Lighthouse cities are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For <strong>Manchester<\/strong>, energy trials in the final year carried out showing significant potential for reducing energy demand and lowering GHGs, 10,300 m<sup>2 <\/sup>optimised building space in MCC for smart energy interventions with over 400 tCO<sub>2<\/sub>e avoided GHGs, and a further 35 tCO<sub>2<\/sub>e avoided GHGs as a result of PV energy generation. The purchase of 10 Triangulum procured EVs has reduced GHG emissions by 35 tCO<sub>2<\/sub>e since 2016, and the overall impact of Triangulum has been to increase university share of EVs in vehicle fleets from 5% to 25%, with reduced GHG emissions of over 125 tCO<sub>2<\/sub>e, 11kg NOx, and 70kg CO. 4 cargo bikes have made 4,493 journeys and travelled 6,697 km over a three year period and saved 820 kgCO<sub>2<\/sub>e. The Manchester-I data platform hosts 9 real time data feeds and has 4 organisational users and 307 users that have downloaded data 427 times. Over 50 people have attended the Innovation Challenges hosted in 2018 and 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For <strong>Eindhoven<\/strong>, in Strijp-S, biomass and Sanergy have replaced the old heating system and provided 100% renewable energy for heating. In 2019, 14% of all energy was generated by Sanergy. 14 EV charging stations have been implemented. The fiber-optic network has been expanded extensively with 350 home connections and 7,050 office connections. 40 sensors have been installed in Strijp-S. 28 SMEs from the iCity tender have been created, and \u20ac50m p.a. additional investment has been secured from partners since 2016. In Eckart-Vaartbroek, for social housing, 11,200 m<sup>2<\/sup> buildings have been renovated, reducing GHG emissions by 20%. The estimated energy bill reduction in 2019 was 55%. For the digital renovation platform of Woonconnect, 284 households (29%) used it, and 174 made a plan (scenario) for the renovation of their home. The Eindhoven open data platform has been viewed 96,000 times per month in 2019 and actively downloaded nearly 4,000 times per month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For <strong>Stavanger<\/strong>, 56 smart gateways have been installed in residential buildings, and the Central Energy Plant (CEP) in Stavanger Commune has avoided a total of 500 tCO<sub>2<\/sub> p.a. which represents an 87.5% reduction in CO<sub>2<\/sub> emissions. 5 battery buses have been deployed by the bus operator in the city, avoiding 135 tCO<sub>2<\/sub> and 250 kg CO. A design competition for the Battery buses has been effective in engaging the public and school children in the project. The Cloud Data Platform has 6 internal users, hosts 4 datasets, and currently has 35 completed impact indicators. It has been used to deliver data analytics to improve efficiencies at the local bus operator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Project\nlevel Impacts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>The main <strong>Energy <\/strong>sector impacts are reduced local energy use with more demand being met by renewable sources, reduced energy costs, and decreased greenhouse gas emissions. Across the project CO2 savings of more than 2000 tons have been achieved. Evidence from pilot work scaling potential benefits suggests that Triangulum interventions could reduce CO2 emissions across the Lighthouse Cities by 15% if they were rolled out across the city.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>The main <strong>Mobility <\/strong>sector impacts are improvements in efficiency, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions (CO<sub>2<\/sub>, NOx, CO). The main impacts across the city relate to the demonstration of different types of EVs in diverse settings (bus fleets, corporate and municipal fleets, SMEs) that has proven positive user experiences and stimulated further uptake in the Lighthouse cities.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>The main <strong>ICT <\/strong>sector impacts are increases in the availability of open data, data downloads, and improvements to fibre optic networks. The three data hubs have been used to deliver value to partners and in Eindhoven and Manchester will be continuing beyond the project end date through follow on funding. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>City Level Impacts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong> 1.  Process learning <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Triangulum has led the development of the \u2018process learning\u2019 concept, which describes how partner organisations have learnt to do things in new, smarter ways. These impacts are critical in the current context of zero-carbon cities and the need to accelerate transitions to sustainability. They describe a new \u2018Triangulum\u2019 way of governing cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Partners\ntended to anticipate technical and economic benefits from being involved in the\nproject but found that the main benefits were related to relationships and\nnetworks, capacity building, and process learning<\/li><li>Early\nstage communication between project partners is essential to build\nrelationships and encourage communication between sectors and across cities<\/li><li>Encouraging\nas much face to face interaction as possible is key to sharing learning and\nexperiences in a meaningful way<\/li><li>Replication\nwithin cities is just as important and commendable as replication in other\ncities<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Our survey and interviews with partners\nrevealed three priority areas to enable smart transformation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Ensure <strong>enabling policies and planning <\/strong>are in place that address the specific barriers identified through the demonstrators in order to allow demonstrations to be deployed at scale.<\/li><li>Integrate smart solutions into <strong>procurement<\/strong> and <strong>operating budgets <\/strong>to ensure they can be purchased at scale.<\/li><li>Facilitate and incentivise <strong>peer-to-peer learning<\/strong> among implementers across different organisations (building managers, energy engineers, fleet managers) as early as possible to promote data sharing and the adoption of shared (i.e. connected) solutions. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Leveraged investments <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spin-off initiatives have been a major city level impact of Triangulum, and reflect the development of a deeper form of partnership working within the Lighthouse Cities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"734\" src=\"https:\/\/triangulum-project.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/spinoffs-1024x734.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/triangulum-project.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/spinoffs-1024x734.png 1024w, https:\/\/triangulum-project.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/spinoffs-300x215.png 300w, https:\/\/triangulum-project.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/spinoffs-768x550.png 768w, https:\/\/triangulum-project.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/spinoffs.png 1278w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Triangulum Spin-off <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Triangulum Impacts The following summary gives an overview of Triangulum impacts at the level of the demonstrators (modules), across the project as a whole, and at city level.
