Tender challenges / Athens
Athens has focused its environmental policies over the recent years on climate change mitigation, using the indicator of quality of urban life as a crucial target. Facilitating cultural change in society is perceived as a fundamental need to understand, support, and fulfil the city’s journey for a better and healthier environment. In particular, Athens aims at reducing the level of stationary energy consumption in public buildings and to this purpose is in the process of creating the first energy community dealing with the specificities of localism (neighbourhood level) and engaging all types of citizens in the area (including visitors, workers, students, parents, seniors, low socioeconomic status groups etc.).
Envisaged solution
Athens is looking for a socio-technical systems based on smart combinations of software and hardware (such as IoT sensors) that enable the collection, monitoring and management of energy consumption data in public buildings and can be easily operated by both domain experts and non-experts (such as lay people as per the above list).

- To allow relevant data visualisations, both for remote monitoring purposes and to improve decision making
- To integrate created datasets and embed visualisation functions in a single tool;
- To embed gamification and/or educational aspects, such as general or specific advice on how to reduce energy consumption, understand data visualisations, etc.
- To be promptly available as applications (for smartphones and tablet PCs, on Android and/or IOS operating systems).
