During this periodic report #4, the main work has been focused on the monitoring and evaluation of the interventions/actions, above all, energy and mobility pillars, which gather dynamic data. Apart from it, the actions of the three lighthouse cities have been completed, reaching 65,406 m2 of retrofitted buildings and 97,115 m2 of new buildings. Both retrofitting and new construction has increased the normative requirements, achieving a total of 37% of improved energy performance.
Additionally, the integration of renewables has exceeded 15.5 MWp, considering both PV and wind energy. Complementary to the renewable installation, batteries have covered a storage of more than 1.4 MWh. Special mention to the H2 injection, reaching peaks of 40% of injection, with an average of 12% of H2 injection in the district heating.
In terms of mobility, 4,350 electric vehicles have been deployed across the three cities, dealing with 12,477.09 tCO2/yr avoided. For other pollutants, 53.4 tNOx/yr, 2.5 tPM/yr and 5.2 tHC/yr have been avoided thanks to the replacement of combustion vehicles by electrical ones.
mySMARTLife has contributed to the development of policy papers in collaboration with the rest of the lighthouse projects. Rubén García-Pajares, mySMARTLife project coordinator, chaired during more than 10 months the collaboration activities. This activity was coincident with the beginning of operations of Scalable Cities Secretariat.
Finally, mySMARTLife during this period organised its Final Conference in Hamburg.
