1. First Ideas on the Methodological Approach OPTIMising the energy USe in cities with smart decision support system (OPTIMUS) Presentation by Stella Androulaki Kick-Off Meeting October, 23 rd -24 th 2013, Athens

2. Introduction  Energy efficiency in a Smart City Better quality of life Achieving sustainable growth with existing resources  Control energy intensive systems with the use of ICT DSS to support actions improving energy use in a short-term horizon Considering common types of data: weather forecasts, de-centralized measurements, energy prices, renewable energy production data, social media data

3. Important elements of the DSS  Input Data  Short-term Actions Per sector Stakeholder involved  Measurement Indicators  Other Constraints  Potential Targets for Monitoring  Reduction = F(short-term actions, indicators) ??

4. Input Data Social Events City authorities planned End-users planned Emergencies Energy- related Prices Tariffs of national energy supply Electricity and fuels costs Renewables Production Production Storage Distribution Demand Environmental Impact Building Indoor conditions Final energy use per sector Real-time energy profiles Transportation Real-time monitoring of free parking places Fuel consumption and amount of emissions per vehicle type Urban Facilities Data of municipal road lighting system … Weather Weather Forecasts Temperature for next week Humidity for next week Other types of data Demographic Geographical Urban Planning: Energy Action Plans Commitments of the city and other legislative constraints Other types of data Demographic Geographical Urban Planning: Energy Action Plans Commitments of the city and other legislative constraints Determination of specific data indicators Identification of reliable & accessible data sources

5. Sectors & Stakeholders  Sectors Buildings Transportation Urban Facilities  Stakeholders City Authorities: Municipal building, Urban facilities, Municipal lighting, Public transport, Municipal staff, … Energy Companies Citizens Industries Other Stakeholders Decision Maker

6. Short-Term Actions  Short-term actions will be grouped by sector  According to the stakeholder involved Directly manageable Indirectly manageable WeatherSocialEnergy StakeholderActionTemperature…EventsEmergenciesPrices Building DataTransportation Data Indoor Conditions …Consumption per Vehicle Type … A: Building Sector Actions City AuthorityA1   B: Transportation Sector Actions City Authority, Staff B1  C: Urban Facilities Actions City AuthorityC1  A1: Identification of the most energy efficient plan for heating and cooling a building B1: Carpooling services C1: Manage Stadiums/Facilities lighting

7. Indicators & Monitoring  Indicators derive from: Metering Calculations Estimations Statistical analysis …  Potential Targets for Monitoring Energy Consumption Reduction Linking with the 20-20-20 targets Energy Costs Reduction … Identification of organizations responsible for each type of data collection and statistical analysis
