The Smart Cities Marketplace provides you with vital knowledge to support you in moving your smart city ambitions forward. Here you will find use cases from more than 90 successful European projects, including 18 Lighthouse projects, sharing solutions implemented in both small and medium-sized towns and in metropolises such as London, Barcelona and Vienna. Many projects have reported their core data into our Self-Reporting Tool, to be picked up and developed into bankable solutions.
BUILDSMART Site Malmö
Location
Description
The city of Malmö participated in the BUILDSMART project with the construction of four different types of new buildings – a hotel, office and two residential buildings – with a focus on their sustainability. The buildings are located in two areas of the city – Malmö Live, in central Malmö, and in the south-east part of the city, known as Hyllie.
Malmö Live is a new concert, congress and hotel complex situated within walking distance from Malmö central station, between the old city centre and the new modern district of Western Harbour. BUILDSMART developed two of the associated buildings – the hotel and the residential part of the complex.
Klipporna, an office building, and the Roth Residential building are situated in the district of Hyllie, which is the largest growth area in the city, developed around a new railway station with connections to central Malmö and Copenhagen. The ambition of the city of Malmö is for the next phase of the Hyllie development to become an example of showing the way towards climate-neutral development.

Demo Site Expected Impact
*The KPIs for the new buildings are compared with the baseline of a reference building.
The four new buildings in Malmö have a combined gross floor area of 51 789 m². As a result of the energy efficiency, the total final energy consumption went from 138 kWh/m²/yr (national regulation) to 70 kWh/m²/yr, representing ca. 50 % decrease in comparison to the reference building.
This constitutes 3014 MWh/yr of final energy savings. According to the primary energy and CO2 factors provided by the project, the primary energy savings go up to 3366 MWh/yr while the CO2 reduction amounts to 2227 tonnes every year. Thanks to the integration of two innovative systems – deep green cooling and a geothermal plant with heat pumps – the demonstration buildings save an additional 43 and 382 tonnes respectively per year.
Technologies
Buildings and energy
These large-scale demonstration buildings are characterised by a number of innovative techniques such as energy-efficient building envelopes with high airtightness and low energy losses, energy-efficient installations resulting in minimised energy use, techniques for minimising cooling needs, e.g. efficient windows and shading equipment, close connections to the surrounding infrastructure, such as energy systems that optimise energy use and reduce peak loads for both heating and cooling, a waste management system created for maximum recycling and energy recovery, including treatment of the biological waste fraction. The technologies and interventions include:
Energy efficiency in buildings
- High-performance new buildings
- Low u-value windows
- Green roofs
- Energy-efficient white goods
- Automatic sun shading
- Building services (HVAC and lighting)
- Mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery
- Low-energy LED lighting
- Building integrated energy renewable sources
- Photovoltaic
- Heat pumps
Energy systems integration
- Deep geothermal energy
- Deep green cooling: The BUILDSMART project has also integrated and demonstrated an innovative cooling technology based on geothermal energy. This system has a maximum cooling output of 133 kWh, using the relatively constant annual ground temperature of 10 to 12 °C to cool the building through 70 boreholes approximately 220 m deep. The pipes are part of a water-filled closed-loop system that supplies the building’s chilled beams and the air handling units via a heat exchanger. The system was designed to meet Klipporna’s entire cooling demands in the summer and pre-warms the outdoor air for the air handling units in the winter.
- Geothermal plant integrated with heat pumps to supply heating and cooling. The maximum heating output is 800 kW, the same as the cooling output.
- Waste-to-energy
- Wood waste will be used for biogas production at the local biogas plant
- Thermal collectors
- Thermal storage
- Ice storage, which will increase the cooling capacity needed for large events

MAtchUP Valencia
Location
Description
Valencia is a coastal town located in the midst of a large metropolitan area. The current City Hall Government is decidedly committed to innovation and sustainability as the basis of a new model of global social development that respects both people and the environment. Under the MAtchUp program, Valencia will develop a total of 52 innovative actions in regard to energy, mobility and ICT in various neighbourhoods.
The district chosen for the project pilot is the coastal district of Valencia, called Poblats Maritims, a traditional maritime fishermen district with a strong identity character. The district has been the subject of urban aggression and its population has been peacefully resisting against dispossession. As the district has acquired global visibility, its needs to repair and solve the deteriorate situation.
Within MAtchUP the City of Valencia will focus on:
- renovating and constructing old and new buildings in the district,
- improving the sustainable mobility across the whole city (e-vehicles, charging points and multimodality hubs)
- building a dedicated platform for citizens to improve the ICT services
Technologies
Buildings and energy
The biggest demand of the district is due to heating. The most common heating generation systems in the district are based on natural gas. On the other hand, the electricity consumption is high and, mostly, owing to the cooling systems.
The main interventions in MAtchUP are focused on reducing the demand and covering both electricity and the domestic hot water consumption through renewable energy systems.
Mobility & Transport
Valencia already offers multiple ways, having deployed tram, underground and buses, mainly, as public transportation services. Nevertheless, there is still a gap with regard to the CO2 emissions because the electro-mobility is not fully deployed.
That is why Valencia is committed along the next years to deploy a full public transportation fleet based on sustainable mobility.
In this sense, Valencia will take advantage of MAtchUP project to increase the impact in the city. Moreover, it is foreseen to increase the use of the public transport and reduce the use of private vehicle.
ICT
Valencia has a global platform for smart city management, which is the main element of Valencia Smart City Strategy. This platform gathers the information of all the municipal services (following the integral vision of a smart city) and provides a compilation of key indicators for city management to be offered transparently to citizens and developers, as well as municipal managers to improve the efficiency in their daily activity.
The existing platform will be adapted and extended with further integration that can help the city to improve its local services.
Citizen Engagement
The city of Valencia believes that the citizen participation in urban policy-making is essential for becoming a Smart City: the urban transformation of city passes thorough the involvement and the endorsement of its citizens.
Having this in mind, the city of Valencia is planning to have a citizen-centric approach with several actions and activities expressly dedicated to its inhabitants to raise awareness and acceptance.
Programs for social and local entrepreneurs, participation, education and co-creation activities addressed to citizens, business opportunities for the distric inhabitants, local toolkit for the improvement of renewable energies are only few of the numerous activities that the city is planning to organise.
