Integration in Urban Planning Processes Évora (Portugal) INSMART Final Conference Brussels, 15 March 2017 30 years of raising its Historical Center to World Heritage by UNESCO Integration in Urban Planning Processes Évora (Portugal) Nuno Bilo / António Valentim Municipality of Évora

Évora at present 2013 per capita energy consumption – 43.5 GJ, 15% was renewable energy 36% of energy in Évora is consumed in transport and 40% in buildings Location: Portugal, Alentejo Region Around 55.000 inhabitants World Heritage since 1986 (by UNESCO) Évora Signed the Convenant of Mayors

Evora has been giving priority to smart, sustainable and inclusive projects that contribute to achieving the objectives of the Europe 2020 Strategy. sectoral initiatives inSmart – This project will contribute to a comprehensive long-term sustainability planning Development of initiatives to reduce energy consumption Development of initiatives to improve mobility and reduce dependence on fossil fuels Project Evora Inovcity for an intelligent and sustainable energy management and electrical network Production of renewable energies …. …. 3

Engagement Process Stakeholders involvement 3 stakeholder workshops criteria for MCDA + suggest scenarios and measures evaluate results for MCDA + define ranking of measures for the plan present plan (to be done) Engagement of arround 28 persons of the following groups Local Authorities: 10 Civil society representatives: 6 Public services and regional authorities: 5 Private sector: 7

City energy system Building Energy consumption Substantially better knowledge on how energy is consumed City Analytics – Buildings Archetypes and energy simulation modelling Surveys, EnergyPlus, DesignBuilder, Smart meters data 10 residential building typologies spatially located construction, occupation (no. People,income,…) type of equipments Heating and cooling gap of 80-90% Identify fuel poor persons living in the city Energy demand per building sub-typologies electricity heating cooling

Évora transport and mobility analysis sectors City energy system Urban Mobility Needs Mobility flows analysis within 21 city sectors using an energy and emissions model 460 door-to-door surveys, characterisation of mobility patterns and vehicle stock modelling urban mobility needs by type of fuel, age (Euro Norm) and origin-destiny matrice analysis of effects of transport infrastructure developments in mobility patterns and on emissions identification and assessment of energy efficiency measures in transport What is the impact of… a new ring-road? increased cycle lanes? a new shopping mall? (…) Évora transport and mobility analysis sectors

Water, waste water and waste collection and treatment (1% energy) City energy system Energy use in other sectors Represent 5% of electricity consumed in Évora Water, waste water and waste collection and treatment (1% energy) Water treatment consumes 0.73 kWh/m3. 484kg per capita collected MSW, 3% is differentiated, no energy production Urban spaces: gardens, fountains (<0.03% energy) Public lighting (1% energy) 76% sodium-vapour, 13% mercury vapour, 10% metal iodates Assessed solar potential (PV plant and roof & solar thermal) 2.4 MW plant size PV in 2014, up to 1 116 MW possible 1.2 MW roof PV systems in 2014 (239), up to 31.5 MW possible 50 solar termal systems in 2014; up to 18 884 (75% dwellings) Location of PV-track systems for different land scenarios (1 MW project)

The InSmart Scenarios’ for Évora Definition of scenarios driven by two main concerns main areas of intervention for the municipality (public lighting, waste collection, municipality buildings) addressing the main energy consuming sectors in the city (transport & residential) Instead of strategic grouping of scenarios was decided to have sector interventions studied, which could be grouped at later stage Main scenarios (selected from a total of 22) Changing all public lighting luminaires to LED Install solar thermal hot water panels in 40% of dwellings Solar PV installed corresponding to 30% of maximum feasible Double glazing in 80% of dwellings Decrease Solid Waste production per capita in 20% from 2013 values Extension of the existent cycling lanes & making city bikes available City Centre Traffic Restrictions (increase parking fees + interdiction in Acropolis) Increase historic center parking – concentrated and disperse solutions Increase public transportation with more buses

Mid-term Implementation Plan to 2030 Measures to implement

Mid-term Implementation Plan to 2030 Main Expected Achievements by 2030 Saved energy in 2030 compared to a Baseline scenario: 5 918 GJ in Residential Buildings, 37 285 GJ in Transport (savings in transport vary if biodiesel buses measure is considered) Share of Renewable Energy in Final Energy Consumption 2013 and 2030: 15%/18-20% (second value in 2030 assuming the implementation of 100% biodiesel buses) Reduction of CO2 emissions 2013-2030: 21-22% (second value assuming the implementation of 100% biodiesel buses) Variation in CO2 emissions per capita 2013-2030: 7% lower CO2 per capita

The InSmart Solution: Lessons Learnt and Key Innovations achieved Innovation in the city’s energy system knowledge Improved knowledge on energy consumption, in particular for electricity consumption in the residential sector, supported by an in-depth analysis of smart meter data. As a spin-off to this it was possible to: characterize fuel poor consumers. identify complementarities between potential PV generated electricity and daily consumption profiles of end-users in commercial, residential and industry sectors Detailed characterization of the residential building stock, through building typologies and in-depth assessment of its energy saving potential. Detailed mapping of solar thermal and solar PV technical potential (first city in Portugal with this information). Mobility analysis, including for major infrastructure planned (the new ring road or shopping malls) and modelling of impact of transport-related measures.

The InSmart Solution: Lessons Learnt and Key Innovations achieved Innovation in the city’s energy system planning External stakeholders in the energy planning process instead of only municipal staff. promoted synergies, by considering new perspectives on visioning the future of the municipality and increased awareness of energy planning InSmart methods as MCDA and engaging different groups of external stakeholders enabled convergence around a set of sustainable energy measures both scientifically sound and socially acceptable InSmart highlighted new priorities instead of those traditionally taken under municipal management, which is a challenge for a new generation of local energy policies.

The InSmart Solution: Dissemination and Future Uses Mid term Implemantion Plan – official aprouval, to be submited Results shared with: SMART EVORA municipal working group Inter-municipal Community Energy planning group Make it available for: Urban planning Municipal GIS Open data INSMART GIS Energy Databases
