An EU team developed a system to optimise the energy consumption of single buildings, groups of buildings and whole districts. The system’s algorithms control flow and production of heat and electricity, and demonstrated substantial savings.
Cities cover only 2 % of the Earth’s surface, yet produce more than 80 % of greenhouse emissions. Integrated reduction and management of city-scale energy consumption will be a key aspect of reducing global CO2 pollution.
