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

5. 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

6. 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

7. 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 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 (75% dwellings)
Location of PV-track systems for different land scenarios (1 MW project)

8. 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

9. Mid-term Implementation Plan to 2030
Measures to implement

10. Mid-term Implementation Plan to 2030
Main Expected Achievements by 2030
Saved energy in 2030 compared to a Baseline scenario: GJ in Residential Buildings, 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 : 21-22% (second value assuming the implementation of 100% biodiesel buses)
Variation in CO2 emissions per capita : 7% lower CO2 per capita

11. 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.

12. 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.

13. 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
