Anika Lange from the German Energy Agency (Dena) presents a practical insight into their project "Climate Municipality Digital" in Hagen. The initiative aims to make municipalities more climate-friendly by leveraging digital technologies, as 75% of CO2 emissions are attributed to cities. The project involves equipping Hagen with various sensors that collect data on traffic, buildings, industry, heating systems, and air quality. This data is stored in an IoT platform hosted within the city and distributed via an urban data platform and to an energy management system. The primary goals include enhancing climate protection through digitization and aiding other communities by documenting processes and lessons learned for replication. Key challenges addressed involve lack of transparency about energy flows and consumption patterns solved by comprehensive sensor deployment; however, there remains a need for greater awareness among stakeholders regarding the benefits of energy efficiency. The project's motivation centers around operational goals such as compliance with legal requirements, environmental protection, improved energy performance resulting in cost savings. Data collected from smart meters is transferred through gateways to ensure only relevant information reaches the IoT hub using open network protocols suited for smart city applications. Thus far results show potential economic benefits alongside achieving significant advancements toward sustainable urban living.
