Through the ‘PAB_LivingLab – Long Live Decarbonization in the Adão Barata Park’ project in Loures, the dstgroup has already avoided more than 19 tonnes of carbon in an end-to-end support solution for the implementation of the living lab's Renewable Energy Community, made up of four members: two prosumers (the Palace and Adão Barata Parque) and two consumers (Macau Pavilion and Fonte de Loures), with one of the REC members having second life batteries.
An Air Quality monitoring system was also developed, which analyzes parameters such as CO, NO2, O3, particles, noise, temperature and humidity, making it possible to find out the best time of day or week to exercise via a multimedia kiosk.
As part of its Sustainable Mobility, a Smart Parking system was also developed in which electromagnetic sensors were installed to detect the presence of vehicles in each parking space, as well as infrastructure capable of providing information on traffic and car parking, and so reduce this in the PAB area. Related to this, a dock was installed with equipment to count and sense the bicycles parked in the car park.
“The primary aim of this project was to promote decarbonization actions, based on experimenting with technological solutions in the areas of the circular economy, mobility, energy and buildings, as well as involving citizens in the process, for a more sustainable future, in support of Goals 11 and 13 of the 2030 Agenda,” explained Raul Bordalo Junqueiro, Head of SmartCities and Business Development at the dstgroup.
As for the area of buildings, the PAB_LivingLab is the first Portuguese smart public building, supported by a Digital Twin, which simulates a low-carbon model of the building, adding BIM and sensor/IoT information, in the Palácio dos Marqueses da Praia and Monforte, which consolidates the dstgroup as a key player in innovation in the construction sector and Loures as a leading municipality in Environmental Sustainability policies in Portugal.
“The dstgroup, together with the municipality of Loures and the rest of the consortium, has promoted the European Commission’s best practices in terms of clean tech solutions within the framework of the #europeangreendeal policies, fostering the acceleration of the “Twin Transition” – which represents the convergence of the green transition and the digital transition in Europe,” added Raul Bordalo Junqueiro.
A SmartCity platform has also been developed which aggregates all the data from the sensors utilized in the different activity areas in PAB_LivingLab, namely the circular economy, mobility, energy and buildings.
The decarbonization solutions successfully tested at the PAB_LivingLab could be applied to other parishes in Loures, as well as at a national and international level.
It should also be noted that the smart city of Loures was honored by the United Nations in the category of “Combating Climate Change.”
