The energy transition and carbon neutrality commitments require municipalities to adopt solutions to manage their resources more efficiently – public buildings, lighting, electric vehicle chargers and other assets that represent significant energy consumption.
This project aims to develop a digital Municipal Energy Management solution, where it is possible to monitor energy consumption and production in municipal buildings and other equipment. The tool uses predictive algorithms and near real-time monitoring to optimise energy consumption, detect anomalies and support decisions, increasing efficiency and reducing emissions.
INEGI, one of the partners in this project alongside Brightcity, NOS, Sonae Sierra, and CCG, has developed forecasting models and analyses of temperature, humidity, and CO₂ data in public buildings to assess indoor air quality. For now, the digital platform only shows data from the Águeda Town Hall building, but it is expected to include other municipal buildings.
This solution promotes the modernisation of cities, positioning them as hubs of innovation in energy management.
