The Cascais Smart Pole by NOVA SBE was implemented in a multifunctional area that integrates housing, commerce, facilities, and public spaces, acquiring a local identity through sociocultural interaction between residents, students, and visitors/tourists , also covering an area of 4.2ha of green spaces. Located in the Municipality of Cascais, a leading municipality in defining a Municipal Roadmap for Carbon Neutrality, the Cascais Smart Pole by NOVA SBE led the generation of change-makers, influencing people and all stakeholders on the path of innovation combined with carbon neutrality.
The Cascais Smart Pole is a living lab pilot project that aims to create a carbon-neutral, sustainable urban environment by integrating innovative technological solutions and community engagement. The concept of the project is based on a physical space and a virtual space, providing testing ground for experimentation in domains of decarbonization, renewable energy, and climate resilience.
Planned continuation of the project is establishing a Renewable Energy Community (REC) to promote local clean energy production and shared consumption. This initiative will support the Cascais 2030 Sustainable Energy Strategy and the Cascais 2050 Carbon Neutrality Roadmap, engaging residents and businesses in sustainable practices to drive collective impact. A Renewable Energy Community (CER) will be created from the Cascais Smart Pole, which will encourage residents, companies and NOVA SBE to jointly invest in the installation of photovoltaic panels, to share the consumption of the clean energy produced. The panels will be installed on the roof of NOVA SBE and surrounding residential buildings, and all interested parties will be able to participate in the CER by investing, purchasing energy or donating their roof or panels to the CER. The aim is for residents to not only save on their electricity bills, but also obtain social and financial returns and contribute to the decarbonization effort in that geographic area.
Main objectives/activities and outcomes of the living lab include:
1. Roadmap for Carbon Neutrality:
The project developed a comprehensive inventory of 2019 greenhouse gas emissions and modeled the path to carbon neutrality by 2050. Strategic options for decarbonization were outlined, with a focus on mobility and energy efficiency. The efforts resulted in a 65-ton CO₂ reduction during the project's duration.
2. Smart Pole Platform:
A participatory digital platform was created, providing data on project activities and allowing public engagement through submissions of ideas. It also included tools like a carbon footprint calculator. The platform gained over 13,000 visits, fostering collaboration among stakeholders.
3. Smart Pole Community:
Community-focused initiatives included renewable energy workshops and microgreen cultivation activities. Events engaged locals and students, with over 17 activities conducted, such as street fairs and environmental workshops. The Microgreen Community distributed kits to promote urban agriculture.
4. Urban Mobility:
Sustainable transport behaviors were promoted via a mobile app (MobiCascais), tracking CO₂ emissions saved. Due to delays, some planned features were revised, but the app incorporated mobility KPIs and avoided emissions data. A campaign highlighted the importance of shared mobility.
5. Energy Efficiency:
Smart energy management systems optimized HVAC and lighting, integrating occupancy data for predictive efficiency. Indoor air quality monitoring systems were deployed, and smart energy counters were installed in classrooms. The project saved energy while addressing privacy concerns.
6. Circular Economy in Waste:
The initiative collected 19.4 tons of used cooking oil, surpassing the goal by 43%, producing biodiesel for municipal vehicles. A gamified "Pay-As-You-Throw" system incentivized recycling, reducing waste contamination rates. Smart bins monitored waste levels, improving collection efficiency.
7. Green Living:
Urban green spaces were transformed with native plants and smart irrigation systems, reducing water consumption and enhancing biodiversity. Over 7,000 trees and shrubs were planted, and lawns were replaced with water-efficient meadows. Smart systems optimized water use and tracked conservation progress.
8. Smart Pole Market:
Originally intended as a carbon credit marketplace, this activity shifted focus to creating a carbon footprint calculator for businesses. The tool provides actionable insights for companies to reduce their emissions. Workshops introduced the software to local entrepreneurs.
9. Smart Pole World:
Communication efforts included public awareness campaigns, workshops, and art initiatives like "Sustent’Arte." Over 20 events engaged stakeholders, promoting the project's goals. The communication strategy emphasized local impact and scalability to inspire other municipalities.

Mobility was an integral part of the CO₂ inventory for the Cascais Smart Pole project, assessed through surveys capturing commuting behaviors among the NOVA SBE community. Emission factors for various transport modes, including private cars, public transport, and active mobility, were calculated to quantify contributions to greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, the MobiCascais app tracked avoided CO₂ emissions from shifts to sustainable mobility options like shared bicycles and public transport. This data was integrated into the project’s digital platform, providing key metrics such as trips taken, kilometers traveled, and tons of CO₂ avoided, supporting the roadmap toward carbon neutrality.

The photovoltaic panels installed as part of the Cascais Smart Pole project are currently set up within a self-consumption production unit (UPAC). While a contract was signed to allow sharing surplus production with nearby facilities, such as a school and a paddle tennis court, this setup remains in preliminary stages and has not yet been fully implemented. This arrangement is intended to eventually support shared energy use as part of the ongoing Renewable Energy Community (REC) initiative. Additionally, the project incorporates the production of biodiesel from collected used cooking oil (UCO), which is processed and utilized in municipal vehicles.
