| A1P024: More comments: | The Espoonlahti district is located on the south-western coast of Espoo. With 56,000 inhabitants, it is the second largest of the Espoo city centres. The number of inhabitants is estimated to grow to 70,000 within the next 10 years. Espoonlahti will be a future transit hub of the south-western Espoo, along the metro line, and the increasing stream of passengers provides a huge potential for retail, business and residential developments. E-mobility solutions and last-mile services have strong potential in the area when subway extension is finished and running. The extensive (re)development of the Lippulaiva blocks make a benchmark catering to the everyday needs of residents. The completely new shopping centre is a state-of-the-art cross point with 20,000 daily customers and 10,000 daily commuters (3.5 million/year). The new underground metro line and station, and feeder line bus terminal, are fully integrated. Residential housing of approximately 550 new apartments will be built on top. Lippulaiva is a large traffic hub, directly connected to public transport and right next to the Länsiväylä highway and extensive cycle paths. Lippulaiva offers diverse, mixed-use services, such as a shopping mall, public services, a day care centre, residential apartment buildings, and underground parking facilities. Lippulaiva received the LEED Gold environmental certificate and Smart Building Gold certificate. • Flagship of sustainability • Cooling and heating demand from geothermal energy system (on-site) with energy storage system, 4 MW • PV panels: roof and façade, 630 kWp • Smart control strategies for electricity and thermal energy, smart microgrid-system and battery storage • Charging capacity for 134 EVs | 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.

| A3P002: Quantitative targets included in the city / national strategy | Relevant city strategies behind PED development in Espoo include the following: - The Espoo Story: Sustainability is heavily included within the values and goals of the current Espoo city strategy, also known as the Espoo Story, running from 2021 to 2025. For example, the strategy names being a responsible pioneer as one of the main values of the city and has chosen achieving carbon neutrality by 2030 as one of the main goals of the current council term. In addition to the Espoo story, four cross-administrative development programmes act as cooperation platforms that allow the city, together with its partners, to develop innovative solutions through experiments and pilot projects in line with the Espoo Story. The Sustainable Espoo development programme is one of the four programmes, thus putting sustainability on the forefront in city development work. - EU Mission: 100 climate-neutral and smart cities by 2030: Cities selected for the Mission commit to achieving carbon-neutrality in 2030. A key tool in the Mission is the Climate City Contract. Each selected city will prepare and implement its contracts in collaboration with local businesses as well as other stakeholders and residents. - Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy: Espoo is committed to the Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy, under which the signatories commit to supporting the European Union’s 40% greenhouse gas emission reduction goal by 2030. The Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plan (SECAP) is a key instrument for implementing the agreement. The Action Plan outlines the key measures the city will take to achieve its carbon neutrality goal. The plan also includes a mapping of climate change risks and vulnerabilities, adaptation measures, emission calculations, emission reduction scenarios and impact estimations of measures. The SECAP of the City of Espoo is available here (only available in Finnish). - UN Sustainable development Goals: The city of Espoo has committed to becoming a forerunner and achieving the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) by 2025. The goal is to make Espoo financially, ecologically, socially, and culturally sustainable. - The Circular Cities Declaration: At the end of 2020, Espoo signed the Europe-wide circular economy commitment Circular Cities Declaration. The ten goals of the declaration promote the implementation of the city’s circular economy. - Espoo Clean Heat: Fortum and the City of Espoo are committed to producing carbon-neutral district heating in the network operating in the areas of Espoo, Kauniainen and Kirkkonummi during the 2020s. The district heating network provides heating to some 250,000 end-users in homes and offices. Coal will be completely abandoned in the production of district heating by 2025. The main targets related to PED development included in the noted city strategies are the following: - Espoo will achieve carbon neutrality by 2030. To be precise, this carbon neutrality goal is defined as an 80% emission reduction from the 1990 level by the year 2030. The remaining 20% share can be absorbed in carbon sinks or compensated by other means. - District heating in Espoo will be carbon-neutral by 2029, and coal-based production will be phased out from district heating by 2025. - Espoo aims to end the use of fossil fuels in the heating of city-owned buildings by 2025. - Quantitative goals within the Espoo SECAP report: - Espoo aims to reduce total energy consumption within the municipal sector by 7.5% by the end of 2025 in comparison to the 2015 level. The social housing company Espoon Asunnot OY aims to meet the same target. - Espoo aims to cover 10% of the energy consumption of new buildings via on-site production. - Espoo aims to raise the modal split of cycling to 15% by 2024. - Espoo aims to raise the modal split of public transport by 1.1% yearly. - Espoo aims to reduce the emissions of bus transport by 90% by the end of 2025, when compared to 2010 levels. | National Roadmap for Carbon Neutrality 2050 (RNC2050): 1. GHG Emissions Reduction: 55% reduction by 2030 (from 2005 levels). 100% reduction by 2050. 2. Renewable Energy: 47% share of renewables in final energy consumption by 2030. 20% renewable energy in transport by 2030. 3. Energy Efficiency: 35% improvement in primary energy consumption by 2030. Cascais 2050 Municipal Roadmap for Carbon Neutrality: 1. Renewable Energy Production: Local Energy Communities: Initiated in 2022, Cascais aims to generate 213 GWh annually through photovoltaic installations (23% of town’s electricity consumption). 2. Waste Management: 152% increase in plastic recycling (2014-2022) 3. Electric Mobility: Adoption of 100% electric waste collection vehicles | ||||||

The centre has a smart managing system, which allows for example the temporary reduction of power used in air conditioning and charging stations when energy consumption is at its peak. In addition, a backup generator and a large electric battery will balance the operation of the electricity network. - Lippulaiva is also an important mobility hub for the people of Espoo. Espoonlahti metro station is located under the centre, and the West Metro started to operate to Espoonlahti in December 2022. Lippulaiva also has a bus terminal, which serves the metro’s feeder traffic in the Espoonlahti major district. | • Reduction of GHG Emissions and Decarbonization Pathways (renewable energy adoption, energy-efficient retrofitting, reducing individual vehicle use) • Infrastructure and Technological Development (sustainable mobility infrastructure - public transportation, EV charging stations, cycling networks; Green spaces adaptation to climate change – biodiversity planting, smart irrigation systems; Digital tools development - carbon footprint calculators, mobility information hubs to support decision-making and track progress) • Promotion of Circular Economy and Waste Management (biodiesel production from used cooking oil, community composting, home composting, waste sorting systems) • Community Engagement and Behavioral Change (renewable energy communities, sustainable/soft mobility practices, waste reduction behaviors, awareness and education, workshops, campaigns, events) • Stakeholder Collaboration (strengthen partnerships among local businesses, public authorities, educational institutions, and community members; shared ownership of initiatives through participatory planning and implementation) • Policy Integration and Planning (alignment with Cascais 2050 Roadmap, the National Roadmap for Carbon Neutrality, and European decarbonization strategies; share of best practices; set up of a legal framework for REC (Renewable energy Community in the area) • Monitoring and Scaling Successful Pilots (Establish robust monitoring systems for energy, water, and waste management; Replicate and expand pilot projects like smart irrigation, carbon footprint tools, and renewable energy communities to other areas) | |||||
| A3P005: Sustainable behaviour | ||||||||
| A3P005: Sustainable behaviour | For Citycon, it was important to engage local people within the Lippulaiva project. During the construction period as well as after opening of the shopping center, citizens have been engaged in multiple ways, such as informing local citizens of the progress of construction, engaging young people in the design processes of the shopping centre and long-term commitment of youngsters with Lippulaiva Buddy class initiative. Users’ engagement activities are conducted in close co-operation with SPARCS partners. | In Groningen we are working with different sustainable behaviours approaches and also developed the Unified Citizen Engagement Approach (UCEA). Currently, there are two different approaches in use in the municipality of Groningen: the District energy approach (Wijkgerichte aanpak, developed by the Municipality of Groningen) and the Cooperative approach (Coöperative Aanpak, developed by Grunneger Power). Based upon those approaches and knowledge that is gained through social research executed by TNO and HUAS the new Unified Citizen Engagement Approach (UCEA) has been developed. | Use of public transport, bicycles, and shared mobility options; using carbon footprint calculators to understand and reduce emissions; recycling and proper waste sorting, including biodiesel production from used cooking oil; adopting smart irrigation systems to conserve water in green spaces; engagement in community composting and home composting to reduce organic waste; preparedness for participation in Renewable Energy Communities (RECs) for shared renewable energy production; switching to energy-efficient technologies like LED lighting and A+ rated appliances; participation in events, workshops, and educational courses on sustainability and climate action. | |||||

There will be a new Environmental Act and Heat Act in the nearby future. We are working on a paper about the current legal barriers, which are in short for Groningen: Lack of legal certainty and clarity with regard to the energy legislation. Lack of coherence between policy and legislation from different ministries. The planned revision of the Dutch Heat Law prevents Groningen from effectively realizing sustainable heat transition plans and goals. Lack of capacity on the distribution grid for electricity | compliance with Renewable Energy Communities (REC) regulations for energy sharing; •adherence to General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for data privacy in smart systems; •following EEA Grants public procurement rules for tendering and service hiring; •meeting urban mobility and transportation regulations for low-emission zones and EV infrastructure; •fulfilling waste management regulations for biodiesel production and organic waste processing | |||||

| B1P001: PED/PED relevant concept definition | Implementation of district level heating system to make heating energy positive and expanding local renewable electricity production. | PEB | Lippulaiva is a project with high level goal in terms of energy efficiency, energy flexibility and energy production. | The Cascais Smart Pole (CSP) is a relevant PED case study as it is a district-level project with high level of aspiration in terms of energy efficiency, energy flexibility and energy production. It employs core PED principles—energy production, efficiency, and sustainability—by integrating renewable energy, efficiency measures, community engagement, smart technologies, and scalable and replicable practices. Its outcomes align with the PED vision by fostering renewable energy, establishing Renewable Energy Communities, aiming for energy surplus, enhancing quality of life, and reducing environmental impacts. | ||||

| B2P001: PED Lab concept definition | ||||||||
| B2P001: PED Lab concept definition | Groningen was selected as Lighthouse City for the MAKING-CITY project. MAKING-CITY is a 60-month Horizon 2020 project launched in December 2018. It aims to address and demonstrate the urban energy system transformation towards smart and low-carbon cities, based on the Positive Energy District (PED) concept. The PED operational models developed in MAKING-CITY will help European and other cities around the world to adopt a long-term City Vision 2050 for energy transition and sustainable urbanisation whilst turning citizens into actors of this transformation. Groningen works with two PED districts in two completely different neighbourhoods in terms of structure and buildings. This is why we see this as a lab: to see wat works and what doesn’t. In order to be able to implement this in the rest of the city. | |||||||
