The objective of the ESMARTCITY pilot activities is to test the concept of smart territories in associated areas, increasing the level of innovation by implementing the infrastructures of the environment through smart devices, integrated systems and sensors. ESMARTCITY also tries to improve the innovation potential of SMEs, allowing them to use the smart territory infrastructure as a test bed for innovative applications and services.
The main challenge is to decrease energy consumption, maintaining the minimum levels required by users. To achieve this, the idiosyncrasy of each territory, the peculiarities of its inhabitants as well as their previous experience in projects related to smart territories have been taken into account. The pilot activities also seek to contribute to improving the innovation capacity of cities, through the creation of an innovation ecosystem that involves companies, research centers, institutions and public authorities, thus creating the necessary conditions in these territories. for the implementation of the smart territories concept.
Agrón and Huétor Tájar, in the province of Granada, are two of the towns that belong to the ESMARTCITY pilot project network. Public lighting installations were implemented in them thanks to the data collected by energy meters that accounted for its consumption in these localities. Likewise, air quality was monitored, as well as the use of technology to offer citizens' energy consumption in real time and solutions to reduce it.
