Background
With rising energy costs, changing usage patterns, and growing concerns about greenhouse gas emissions, many organizations are under pressure to meet net-zero emissions targets while accommodating continued growth with improved operating costs. While smart buildings have been a reality for many years, advances in networking, artificial
intelligence, IoT, cloud computing and cybersecurity technologies, as well as innovations in the building sector, are driving dramatic change.
The Wellbased project, initiated in Valencia in September 2022, focuses on tackling energy poverty and improving the health and wellbeing of vulnerable households. The project is set within the urban and residential environments of Valencia, leveraging the city's status as the European Green Capital for 2024. It utilizes advanced IoT technologies to monitor and manage indoor environmental conditions, aiming to empower citizens and facilitate a sustainable energy transition. The project encompassed 6 cities around Europe which were: Valencia (Spain), Heerlen (The Netherlands), Leeds (UK), Edirne (Turkey), Budapest (Hungary) and Jelgava (Latvia). In Valencia, Damal Redes, Milesight's partner and a contractor for Fundació València Clima i Energia (VCI), has successfully deploy IoT solutions across a variety of homes, improving energy efficiency and make cities smarter and better.
