This paper presents a novel evaluation framework to assess the effectiveness of city transformation projects related to energy efficiency and sustainable mobility actions. The evaluation framework is part of an Urban Regeneration Model designed to accelerate the urban transformation toward the smart city concept, taking into account all aspects of sustainability. This model has been developed and validated in the three EU cities (Valladolid, Spain; Nottingham, United Kingdom; and Tepebaşı, Turkey) where interventions in the energy, mobility, and ICT fields have been deployed. This model relies on an Evaluation Framework to support its main phases considering two levels of evaluation: city level, to assess globally the smartness and sustainability of the city, and project level, to support the decision-making and assess the impacts of specific implementations. This paper is focused on the second level and its application through the evaluation-supporting tool STILE in the assessment of the energy efficiency and sustainable urban mobility actions implemented in the city of Valladolid. The assessment analysis has allowed assessing how the energy efficiency interventions carried out in the Valladolid district have reduced the energy consumption, increased the use of renewable energies, and reduced the CO2 emissions. In addition, it has allowed evaluating other aspects such as the air quality, thermal comfort, and energy bill, which have been also improved for the residents. Considering the analysis of the sustainable mobility interventions, the evaluation framework supports the assessment of the reduction of emissions and air pollutants and how the actions have converted electro-mobility into a real option for citizens. The evaluation of results after the implementation of this kind of actions is key to ensuring that successful actions can be replicated in other places achieving smarter and more sustainable cities.

REMOURBAN is a large-scale demonstration project whose main objective is to accelerate the urban transformation towards the smart city concept considering all aspects of sustainability. For this purpose, an Urban Regeneration Model has been developed and validated in the three lighthouse cities of the project (Valladolid-Spain, Nottingham-United Kingdom and Tepebaşı-Turkey). REMOURBAN has carried out different interventions in the city of Valladolid with the aim of transforming it in a more sustainable and smarter city. These actions have been evaluated using the evaluation framework developed within the project, to know the real impact of these interventions in the project area and to transfer the knowledge to other cities that want replicate these solutions for improving their sustainability and smartness. This paper is focused on showing the evaluation results after the application of the evaluation framework to the energy actions in a district in the city of Valladolid (Spain).

Recently the EU established the new obligations of the member states towards 2030, which are the reduction of CO2 emissions in 40% with regards to the values in 1990, the integration of 32% of renewable energy production, the improvement of energy efficiency in 32.5% and the establishment of 15% of electric interconnection among member states. Beyond 2030, the EU establishes also as global target the decarbonisation of the economy by 2050. While for new buildings the principles to achieve nearly zero or very efficient buildings are well established and technically and economically viable, these principles are less clear in large scale renovations of existing buildings. It is precisely in renovation where the focus should be to reach climate neutrality in the coming 30 years due to the high amount of existing building stock in Europe and the potential that consequently these urban areas offer. The strategies to achieve nearly zero retrofitted buildings have to balance technical solutions, economic viability and integration of renewable sources. Also, the issue of scale becomes essential, where districts can be considered as a system of complex interconnections, interactions, relationships and flows that offer greater flexibility to integrate certain Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) or to implement specific business models. Therefore a comprehensive approach is essential for effective decision-making with regards to energy efficiency improvement. Thus, approaches for a comprehensive and integrated renovation of districts are needed to unlock the full potential existing on retrofitting the building stock. This paper builds on this element and presents the energy retrofitting of a residential neighborhood in Spain under the EU funded project REMOURBAN that has followed an integrated approach to design the appropriate combination of ECMs leading to 40% of energy consumption reduction and 85% of CO2 emissions avoided to the atmosphere.

The transformation of cities into smarter and more sustainable environments is essential towards achieving the objectives of the decarbonization of the economy. In this sense, holistic strategies are required to design and implement urban regeneration strategies. The EU-funded REMOURBAN project has developed an Urban Regeneration Model which provides the mechanisms to implement more efficiently these processes, integrating technologies, business models, management procedures and evaluation mechanisms, where the evaluation is sought as the main supporting mechanism throughout the various phases of the city transformation process. The framework developed considers two levels of evaluation: city level, to assess both sustainability and smartness of the city as a whole from a comprehensive and integrated perspective, and project level, to provide a clear identification of the impact of implementation of technologies and solutions on three key priority areas (sustainable districts and built environment, sustainable urban mobility and integrated infrastructures and processes) aimed at achieving the city high-level goals. This paper introduces the Urban Regeneration Model and describes the evaluation framework and its implementation in the city of Valladolid (Spain).

Nobel energy retrofitting strategies for social housing buildings are presented in this paper, which attempt to reduce their energy demand and enable a low carbon footprint consumption. Both passive and active approaches are applied to a building archetype under 7 representative climates and constructive properties in Europe. On the one hand, simulation results show that passive renovation of buildings through high efficiency envelopes and decentralized ventilation systems would lead to savings from the 69% to the 87% of the required heating demand. Additionally, the cooling demand is reduced up to 32%, although it increases slightly in cold climates due to the addition of insulation. On the other hand, the active trigeneration system includes parabolic trough solar collectors, ORC based cogeneration, adsorption chiller, and a biomass boiler as backup, which reaches a maximum efficiency of 59% in the best scenario. Results show that, a join exploitation of proposed strategies, would mean primary energy savings up to 38% in the worst case, and 61% in the best one. Regarding CO2 emissions, up to 85% reductions are achieved in the seven considered European climates. Finally, analyzing the costs, it is shown that even in the worst case, the energy bills would be reduced in 62%. These results reveal that, the strategies proposed in this paper, depict a feasible way to achieve nZEB while, at the same time, tackling the energy poverty problem that residents in social housing suffer along Europe.
