Module 4 - Spotlight session 3: Data-driven approaches to energy transition in buildings and districts

When: November  2025 | 13:15 to 15 CET

Duration: 1 hr 45 min

 

Topic: What can cities do with data for energy transition

By the end of the module participants will:

  • Learn by examples about how data-driven approaches can assist energy transition.
  • Gain knowledge about Digital Twin and key data relevant to city operations for supporting energy efficiency practices.
  • Learn about practical tools and use cases where data can significantly impact areas such as demand-response, renovation decision making, energy flexibility and predictive maintenance. 
  • Learn how to leverage data-driven approaches in local city data infrastructures through case studies and examples provided by other cities.

Who is this session for?

Target audience: City representatives and development units overseeing digital infrastructure and energy measures.
