1 Umeå Smart City

2 Welcome to Umeå! RUGGEDISED is a large cooperation project, co-financed by EU s Horizon 00. Umeå is working together with several partners around Europe, but especially with our partner cities Rotterdam and Glasgow, to develop the Smart City. Some characteristics of a smart city is that it is digitally connected and energy efficient. The different technical systems need to be connected and interact with each other, but also the city s companies, organizations and its people need to connect and interact with each other. Umeå municipality, Västerbotten County Council, Akademiska Hus AB, Upab, RISE, Umeå University and Umeå Energi AB are cooperating to develop Umeå University City into a viable and sustainable district - a Smart City. The solutions developed in RUGGEDISED, may be upscaled in other parts of Umeå. Umeå is growing and will continue to grow with ecological, economic and social sustainability. The purpose of RUGGEDISED is to reduce the city s CO₂ emissions through less energy use and an increased share of sustainable transports. By developing smart business models and working methods, we will ensure that we will continue to be innovative when we are developing the sustainable city. We also want other cities in Sweden and Europe to learn from and use what we are doing here in Umeå, so that more cities will become sustainable Smart Cities.

U Storage and Exchange of Geothermal Energy The project aims to develop a new business model that enables the storage and exchange of energy between organizations. The ultimate goal will be to create a new model that seek to reduce climate impact while simultaneously increasing economic gains. U Business Model Innovation The aim is to create a new business model on how storage and exchange of energy between organizations can be used as a climate smart solution for the University district as a whole, with both economic and environmental gain.. Reduced energy consumption at University Hospital of Umeå. New geothermal energy storage. Delivery of energy to the city of Umeå. Shared use of common thermal energy storage tank. Common biomass boiler 6. Reduced energy consumption at Akademiska Hus 7. Peak load management 8. Optimal overall production strategy The County Council of Västerbotten has built a facility in order to reduce energy costs for heating and cooling at University Hospital of Umeå. The geothermal energy storage delivers a total of 7 GWh heating energy and GWh of cooling energy per year. In terms of capacity and size it s one of the 0 biggest facilities in the world.

5 Umeå Energi U Peak load management Umeå city University hospital of Umeå Results ENERGY SAVINGS POWER REDUCTION. Outdoor temperature. Smart energy system. Redistributed heat. Power control unit turns down the heat. Building stores heat. By using buildings as thermal energy storage hubs, we can use the stored energy at peak periods when the need for energy is at its highest. Through this approach, it becomes possible to even out peak loads and reduce the use of fossil fuels, in order to secure a consistent heat supply throughout the city. The solution is based on an automated peak load management system that will be developed and tested at Umeå University s campus.

6 U UA + UB + U6 Intelligent system control Intelligent control U6 7 UA Intelligent control of buildings The idea is to create a system that will learn the routines available in the premises and customize the energy usage. Solutions for ventilation, heating, cooling and lighting are being tested. By finding improved technical solutions, the result should provide smarter buildings with reduced energy consumption. 6 UB Gamification - influence of behavior patterns As a part of the project we also focus on an individual level through the use of gamification concepts. The ultimate goal, is to involve tenants in fun and amusing activities towards reducing climate impact of their daily living, as it relates to their home environment. The project involves two identical apartment buildings for comparison and gaming activities, where one utilizes gamification principals, while the other does not. The resulting evaluation will determine whether gamification affects users behavior patterns.. Intelligent system control. The control optimizes energy usage. Unnecessary usage is reduced (lights, heat, ventilation). Solar panels charge an in-house battery. Energy is stored for later use 6. The battery can charge electric cars and bikes or be used to relieve power grid 7. Tenants using gamification to reduce their climate impact U6 Charging hub for smart power supply With a new solar cell- and battery facility installed in the property, a new charging hub is tested. The electricity generated by the solar panels can be used for electric bikes, cars or to relieve the power grid. We experiment with the amount of energy storage required to achieve optimal use. The aim is to find a model for how the solution can be scaled depending on the size and needs of the property.

7 University District UMEÅ UNIVERSITY U Climate-friendly bus stop Umeå municipality is building a climate-friendly bus stop, a socalled Bus Rapid Transit Stop (BRT). This bus stop is meant to act as a symbol for the smart University District, be innovative and serve as a place for information-gathering for its users. The BRT Stop will be designed as a part of a smart city where technology, people and the environment interact with each other to reduce the city s environmental impact and its carbon dioxide emissions. UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL Together with an interaction-designer, we are currently developing a novel bus stop with a fast ticketing and boarding procedure. It will be equipped with smart energy and heating, free Wi-Fi and other technical data solutions. The outcome of this design rational is to generate a positive experience for the waiting passengers aswell as creation a balance between efficiency and functionality. The design will be ready in summer 08. The climate-friendly bus stop indicates an important development with many positive impacts on its users and it has attracted a lot of attention from residents, journalists and others.. Fast ticketing and boarding procedures. A positive waiting experience. Free Wi-Fi and other technical data solutions. Smart energy solutions More information:

8 New residential area U7 Green Parking Pay-Off Transport and delivery PARKING 6 Results Business model 7 LESS TRAFFIC IMPROVED AIR QUALITY ENABLES FURTHER DEVELOPMENT In Umeå, all new buildings are obligated to build parking according to a minimum norm. With this business model the land owners buy themselves free from the requirement to build parking spaces. Instead, the parking company (Upab) takes the responsibility of providing parking in the area by building co-usage mobility facilities.. Reduced parking norm and car ownership. Good bike storage and paths, possibility to repair bikes. Car sharing close by or on the property. Close to good public transport. Home delivery of groceries and packages 6. Co-usage of parking spaces 7. Mobility management for residents in the area Upab reduces the parking norm by 0% if the property owner agrees to improve the building with other innovative solutions, which enables more sustainable transport and pay a certain amount to a Mobility Management fund. This fund is then used to work with the behaviour of the residents in the area, so that they choose a more sustainable transportation option than owning a car.

The Smart Open Data City Decision Platform is an ICT solution that puts relevant data and visualizations in the hands of everyone in the city. Information about Umeå is made available in the form of open data, which is also visualized via a web portal to provide an educational overview of the information. The partners in the University District contribute with information that makes it possible to follow the developement of our innovation area.. City expansion visible on D map. Smart parking. Sensor data. Dialog tool. Open data sets 6. Energy visualizations 7. Smarter city planning. The solution targets residents, the industry, researchers and the public sector with the intention to stimulate the emergence of smart solutions and facilitate a more informed city planning process.
