European buildings currently consume 40% of the energy produced. in charge of the surroundings 36% of total CO₂ emissionsGiven these figures, it seems increasingly urgent to revamp our energy management systems in our cities.
R2Cities project
that’s exactly what it’s for R2 city,ambitious A project to develop a neighborhood regeneration strategy With the idea of replicating in certain cities and on a larger scale elsewhere, we are getting closer to the European Union’s planned target. Guaranteed minimal energy consumption by 2020.
therefore, Technology, Renewable Energy, Internet of ThingsIt is a humble neighborhood in Valladolid, Spain.
This is just one example. Because the R2Cities project aims to transform the oldest buildings in other European cities into efficient structures with a near-neutral energy balance.
From antiquated to smart neighborhood
What to do with buildings with structural problems Genoa’s Ravatrich districtItaly, poor quality construction Valladolid’s Quattro de Marso districtSpain, and homes with insulation problems Yakacic neighborhood in Kartal, Turkey, do you have anything in common? The answer is R2Cities.
“Valladolid’s humble neighborhood could transform into a sustainability paradigm, #R2Cities”
The European plan has chosen these three areas, which present all sorts of problems related to construction, to be true examples of what smart cities should be. Each of these cities has a different climateIt therefore features a range of challenges that serve as a reference elsewhere in Europe.
in Spain, Valladolid The city has been chosen as a pioneer in energy efficiency. Cuatro de Marso housing total 300 Reduce neighborhood heat consumption by improving insulation or implementing a TIC-based management system.
The project, under the leadership of Valladolid Cartif Foundation Working with Private Initiatives ACCIONA Infrastructure, onyx solar energy to 15 other companiesalso including Photovoltaic system, thermal solar system, biomass boiler Reduce your CO₂ emissions and use more efficient lighting fixtures to reduce power consumption.
Genoa scenario It consists of a series of buildings called “washing machines” by their neighbors because of their resemblance to these appliances.They suffer from structural problems and are not energy efficient. The R2Cities project devised a new heating system for 162 homeswith the help of other devices such as small units with electric valves inside, calorimeters and solar panels, energy requirements can be saved by up to 50%.
near Istanbul, Kartal district of Jakačić, and yet another inefficient lighting system and insulation structure model. That’s why the R2Cities project plans to install it. Alternate heating and cooling sourcesand technology based on renewable resources To turn around the situation in this Turkish neighborhood. Three obsolete regions that will not only become smart in the short term, but will also serve as a reference for new sustainable and energy efficient models of the future.
