4. The InSmart Scenarios’ Trikala
Local approach:
Municipal, regional and national policies, planned in the corresponding Strategic Plan
Smooth population increase - Energy demand increase
Climate change effects
Scenarios:
1. Municipal building renovation (20% improved efficiency)
2. 80% of city buildings connected with the natural gas network
3. Renovation of all city buildings grounded before 1950
4. Energy efficiency upgrade of all city buildings
5. Public lighting upgrade to LED (6,000 units)
6. Renewable energy production by 10% of total demand
7. Green Open Space creation (5% cooling demand reduction)
8. Mobility Ring-Road (8C) completion and Cycle Lane Network Expansion with 5-10 Km (8R)
9. Replacement of 10 municipal vehicles with electrical ones
10. Encouraging hybrid and electrical vehicle use (i.e., with tolls in the city entrance)
11. Biomass landfill (950KWh production capacity)
12. Sewage treatment with bacteria (25% decrease of energy demand)
13. Dam construction (200KWh energy supply and down to 0% energy demand for water pumping)
14. Exploitation of all terraces for solar panels
15. 20% of CO2 production decrease

5. City energy system Building Energy consumption
Building stock (15.324, ELSTAT 2001)
Baseline: 53% (residential, commercial, municipal)
20 Zones, 9 building typologies:
<1950 (T1 – detached house, residential)
1980 – 2000 (T2 – detached house, residential)
<1900 (T3 – Terrace house, commercial)
<1980 (T4 – Apartment building, mixed use)
1980 – 2000 (T5 – Apartment building, 5-7F, mixed use)
1980 – 2000 (T5i – Apartment building, 4-6F, mixed use)
> 2000 (T6 – Apartment building, 7F+B, residential)
<1980 (T7 – detached, residential)
1980 – 2000 (T7i – semi-detached house, residential)
Energy building consumption: 932 TJ (space heating, cooling and hot water)
S1. Municipal building renovation (20% improved efficiency)
S2. 80% of city buildings connected with the natural gas network
S3. Renovation of all city buildings grounded before 1950
S4. Energy efficiency upgrade of all city buildings

6. City energy system Urban Mobility Needs
20 zones (13 urban units)
Baseline: 22%
Scenarios:
S8: Mobility Ring-Road (8C) completion and Cycle Lane Network Expansion with 5-10 Km (8R)
S9: Replacement of 10 municipal vehicles with electrical ones
S10: Encouraging hybrid and electrical vehicle use (i.e., with tolls in the city entrance)
Urban mobility needs: TJ

7. City energy system Energy use in other sectors
Street lighting: 2% (baseline)
S5. Public lighting upgrade to LED (6,000 units)
Remainder sectors: 18% (baseline)
Water pumping & treatment
S13. Dam construction (200KWh energy supply and down to 0% energy demand for water pumping)
Sewage treatment
S12. Sewage treatment with bacteria (25% decrease of energy demand)
Waste collection
S9. Replacement of 10 municipal vehicles with electrical ones
Waste process (landfill)
S11. Biomass landfill (950KWh production capacity)
Energy use in city support sectors: 431 TJ

8. Mid-term Implementation Plan to 2030
Measures to implement:
Fiscal crisis limits interventions
Short-term (by 2020): S1 (Municipal Buildings), S2 (Gas network supply), S5 (Public lighting upgrade), S8 (Ringroad and Cycle lane extension)
Mid-term (by 2025): S6 (renewable production increase), S7 (Green space creation), S9 (vehicles’ upgrade), S12 (Sewage treatment with bacteria)
Main Expected Achievements by 2030
Scenario 1 does not result to a significant change, since municipal buildings’ energy demand will flow from 29.96GWh to only 26.8GWh by 2030.
Scenario 2 is the most expensive but has the most significant impact regarding energy consumption, since buildings’ energy demand will flow from baseline’s 184GWh to GWh by 2030.
Scenario 5 has a significant contribution, since electrical consumption for public street lighting will flow to 1.81GWh in 2030, compared to the baseline’s 5.99GWh.
Scenario 6 returns an added value of 70GWh of annual renewable energy in 2030, compared to baseline’s 14.98GWh.
Scenario 15 demonstrates a flow of CO2 production from 581TJ to 451TJ in 2030.

9. The InSmart Solution: Lessons Learnt and Key Innovations achieved
City as an energy system
Policies affect energy efficiency
Stakeholders have different perspectives on the policies
Covenant of Mayors 2020 has a limited effect to the estimated outcomes
Innovations
The city has been engaged in Agenda 2030 (with a leading role at the municipal union (KEDE))
(SDG 7: Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all and SDG 11. Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable)

10. The InSmart Solution: Dissemination and Future Uses
DEYAT: water and sewage management
Will use the InSmart model for annual energy consumption calculations
Will contribute InSmart outcomes for Municipal strategic reviews
Dissemination activities
