Sharing Cities’ Smart City Solutions – Webinar Series: SEMS

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.

What is a SEMS?

Cities account for about 65% of global energy demand. The generation and consumption of energy poses challenges for urban areas: energy poverty, network reinforcement costs associated with increased electrification, and load balancing. The Sustainable Energy Management System (SEMS) is a modular system which centralises information from, and control over, many local energy systems and devices. SEMS integrates heat, power, transport, and the built environment, combining data connectivity and the internet of things to optimise energy systems and strategies. The SEMS helps to process data inputs in real time; improving decision making, reducing system inefficiencies, and delivering financial, social and environmental benefits.
