This initiative by the Region of Crete focuses on activities for energy saving and carbon emission reduction in the Lissithi Plateau. These actions include the retrofit of 990 non-efficient public lighting luminaires in the area with energy-efficient LEDs. They will address transport emissions by facilitating electric bikes for use by visitors to the area and by local citizens to commute between villages. Information energy points will be provided in municipal school buildings to depict energy-usage visualisations to educate students about energy saving. Plateau residents may also attend training on energy-saving issues.

This initiative implements energy efficiency activities including the introduction of SMART lighting, sensors, remote monitoring, and LEDs in the Savinjska region. There is also a 'positive energy challenge' where families compete to effectively reduce energy consumption in their domestic households. Finally, a digital application will be developed to educate citizens on methods to reduce energy consumption and benefit from financial savings.

These Actions support improvement of energy efficiency and distribution of public lighting in order to ensure traffic safety, visual comfort, energy saving and reduced light pollution in the Iași Municipality. This will be achieved with energy-efficient LEDs and a remote management system. The Iași Clinical Hospital for Recovery will also experience a major retrofit to increase the energy efficiency rating from Class D to Class B.  This is achieved by applying a knowledge-transferred concept of deep renovation with innovative solutions for the building envelope, lighting, lifts and implementation of renewable energy use solutions. 

This initiative includes a series of activities conducted in five regional hospitals that include the installation of a Solar PV Plant for solar cooling and a reduction in energy consumption with LED lighting. Building envelopes will be adapted and construction of thermal insulation in polyurethane foam among other renovations to improve energy efficiency in this category of municipal building. 

These actions will implement new SMART public lighting infrastructure with LEDs, movement sensors and remote monitoring and control in a popular city street in the region. There will be the implementation of an energy efficiency advisory service for citizens and organisations, who wish to improve energy efficiency, and implementation of a SMART energy management system as a part of a residential building retrofit.

These actions provide economic incentives to Normandy schools where 50% of financial savings made from energy-use reduction are contributed to the school for the implementation of other projects that directly benefit the students. There will also be an experimental implementation of a pedagogical site to teach energy-saving behaviour to diverse groups such as immigrants and students. This will be facilitated by imagery and example to break the language and culture barrier.

This initiative focused on development of an Open Energy Data Repository to enable open access to energy-related data. The availability of energy data has a positive impact on regions by establishing a low-carbon baseline, facilitating informed policy decision-making, and providing for research and innovation of energy-efficient solutions. This also allows for effective implementation of initiatives that identify new methods for fuel poverty reduction in association with local, regional and national authorities. This can be achieved by data analysis, development of solutions in cooperation with local authorities, and seminars to disseminate findings to communities.

This initiative will positively impact two schools with Solar PV installations that improve the use of renewable energy and other energy efficiency solutions that include chargers for electrical cars, LEDs, an improved SMART energy monitoring system, and rotating heat recovery for ventilation units. The plan also installs Solar PV panels in 50 Regionfastigheter public buildings.

This action plan is aimed to increase the uptake of disruptive technology solutions by SMEs in the Border Irish region to accelerate their competitiveness and innovation levels. This is key to enabling SMEs to address the twin threats of Brexit and Covid-19. The unique approach of the project is to use sophisticated digital collaboration services to better network and connect the Border region’s growing network of innovation hubs to technology providers (universities and institutes of technology) across the Border and West regions.

This action plan is formed by 3 main actions aimed to support the digital transformation of companies in Pays de la Loire: 1) Artificial Intelligence: to support companies to initiate and implement artificial intelligence uses and technologies. 2) 5x5 Digital: to create new digital projects through a design approach inspired by the 5x5 methodology from West Flanders. 3) Tourism and digital: to initiate digital experiments in the tourism sector to help tackle the COVID19 crisis consequences
