🏢 𝐒𝐏𝟑 – 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲-𝐄𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬: #Lyon’s Super-efficient Buildings 🌍 LYON CONFLUENCE district is setting a benchmark in sustainable urban development by introducing super-efficient buildings that achieve a 26% reduction in energy consumption and cover up to 100% of their energy needs with renewable energy. This initiative is part of Lyon's broader strategy to create more energy-efficient cities. 🔧 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀: Buildings are equipped with photovoltaic panels, external insulation, and Building Operating Systems (BOS). The collected energy data is monitored through smart meters, ensuring buildings reach high environmental performance standards. 💡 💼 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀: • 𝙍𝙚𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙚𝙨 𝙀𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙜𝙮 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙪𝙢𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 by up to 26% • 𝙍𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙬𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙀𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙜𝙮 covers between 20% and 100% of energy needs • 𝘽𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙛𝙞𝙩𝙨 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 with lower energy costs and improved sustainability 🌱 💰 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹 + 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴: SPL Lyon Confluence manages land sales to developers, prioritizing the environmental performance of the projects. Extra costs for green buildings are 10-15% higher, but the long-term benefits for residents and the environment are substantial. 🔄 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 & 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: This approach can be replicated in cities with control of land ownership, long-term management capacity, and political will. Mass production of these buildings can reduce construction costs, promoting wider adoption. 🚀 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Combining reduced energy consumption with renewable energy production in a dense urban setting is a scalable model for the future of urban sustainability. #EnergyEfficiency #Sustainability #GreenBuilding #RenewableEnergy #Confluence #SP3 #CleanEnergy #SmartCities LYON CONFLUENCE, Métropole de Lyon, Hespul, Urban Practices, Baptiste Mougeot, Maxime Valentin, Etienne Vignali, Marion Bertholon, Merlin BREAUD, Martial GILLE, Sandrine MAURIN, Alain Kergoat, christian ROZIER, Energy Cities, Eduardo Blanco, Sebastián Oviedo, Philippe Fournand, DKSR - Data Competence Center for Cities & Regions, University of St. Gallen - HSG, CARTIF, AIT Austrian Institute of Technology

🌟 In September, the PIC (Partenariat d’Innovations de la Confluence) held its annual meeting with its 70 partners to look back and reflect on experiences shared over the past 12 months on 4 themes: energy performance of buildings 🌆 , energy ⚡ , mobility of people and goods 🚢  and public space 🏞. In terms of energy performance of buildings, a performance target of 100kWh/m2/year for new construction is being put in place, while continuing to look at how to renew heritage buildings 🏫. There is also a focus on building energy communities that produce and share their own energy 🌅  such as from photovoltaic panels which have the capacity to produce 6.5 MWp. In La Confluence, a pilot project aims to develop replicable river logistics to help reduce greenhouse gases emitted by the transport sector in France. Lastly, La Confluence is tackling refreshing and greening public spaces. One particular project in the historic district of Sainte-Blandine is being undertaken with the ASCEND Project to help redevelop public spaces into neighbourhoods that share a common identity ✨ .

Here are the main takeaways: • #CircularStrategies: Cities are implementing circularity at different stages—from reusing materials in existing buildings to repurposing demolition materials in new projects. • #SustainabilityFirst: Circular practices should begin at the design stage to refuse unsuitable materials and reduce raw resource use, ensuring that recycling is a last resort. • #ProcurementInnovation: Green public procurement plays a crucial role in scaling circular approaches, with cities like #Porto already implementing recycled material requirements. By focusing on circular strategies from the start, cities can significantly reduce their environmental impact while improving the sustainability of their buildings.

The session, facilitated by Rosalía Simón de Lama and Jonatan Viejo from CARTIF, explored how cities can implement circular economy practices in their built environments. 🔍 Challenges: • Circularity vs. Regulations: Building and insurance standards can conflict with circular construction practices. • Procurement Barriers: Public procurement processes need adaptation to prioritize circular materials and practices. 📌 Takeaways: • Circularity from Design: Circular economy principles must be integrated from the early design phase to ensure sustainable building practices. • Leading Examples: Porto already requires 10% recycled materials in public tenders, setting a precedent for circular procurement. 💬 QUOTE: “It was inspiring to collectively brainstorm with ASCEND cities on innovative solutions that can be implemented within the cities’ project locations... The potential role of having green public procurement can offer a high impact via standardising application requirements of circular approaches.” – Almos Papp, Budapest 📄 For more details, see the attached document. #ASCEND #EnergyEfficientBuildings #CircularEconomy #OnsiteRES #CommunityOfPractice #SustainableDevelopment #Innovation #Collaboration #CityDevelopment #CommunitiesOfPractice #SP3 🚀 Eduardo Blanco, Sebastián Oviedo, Energy Cities, Baptiste Mougeot, Etienne Vignali, Andreas Baernreuther, Dr. Stefan Synek, Selina Lorenz, Laura Dieguez, Michal Kuzmic, Jana Vanicka Civinova, Denisa Pevná, Ana Isabel Silva, Adeeb Sidani, Kinga Lőcsei-Tóth, Philippe Fournand, Veronika Cerna, BKK - Budapesti Közlekedési Központ, Czech Technical University in Prague, OICT, Pražská developerská společnost, LYON CONFLUENCE, Métropole de Lyon, Urban Practices, Stadtwerke München GmbH, Technical University of Munich, Isarwatt eG, AVANCIS GmbH, Spectrum Mobil GmbH, UnternehmerTUM, AdEPorto - Agência de Energia do Porto, Águas do Porto, EM, Porto Digital
