About this event
Since 2016, the lighthouse cities of Lisbon, London and Milan have implemented several smart city measures in the framework of the project Sharing Cities. Based on that knowledge and technical experience, Sharing Cities is launching a series of short webinars to explore each of those measures one by one: digital social market, e-bikes, building retrofit, sustainable energy management system, smart lampposts, e-mobility, and urban sharing platform. Each measure is also supported by a smart booklet and playbook which go into greater detail on how to replicate and scale-up in your city.
Starting in June, each of these webinars will present the implementation of one smart city solution through two case studies from lighthouse cities. After the presentations, all participants are invited to join the discussion, ask questions and share their experiences.
Why building retrofit?
Energy used in buildings in cities is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions. Retrofitting buildings (private housing, public housing and public buildings) aims to reduce the energy consumption in these buildings and to increase the level of comfort experienced by residents. Energy retrofit of the existing building stock is a very effective way to contribute to the EU’s climate goals, both from an environmental and an economic point of view. It allows cities to considerably cut the CO2 emissions from residential buildings. It contributes to the overall smart city strategy as it delivers improved energy performance, comfort, air quality, control and management.
