Energy Smart Urban Environment
The development and testing of new solutions aimed at energy efficiency, which are related to consumption flexibility, waste heat utilization or energy storage, for example, require experiments and piloting, for which municipality-owned properties and operating environments offer good platforms.
How can a property or city block function as an energy consumer, producer, and storer?
Regional development based on needs
In the “Energy smart urban environment” project, larger experimental and piloting environments are mapped in the Kymenlaakso region instead of individual sites, and innovative energy-saving solutions suitable for them are explored using e.g. energy audits. At the same time, existing experimental environments are further developed.
The new solution must succeed in the market
New energy efficiency products and service concepts are promoted by preparing preliminary business models based on the project results (using the Business Model Canvas tool), which are especially suitable for the needs of SMEs in the energy sector in the region.

Learning by doing in a real-life environment
In the “Energy smart urban environment” project, has many energy engineering students involved in the implementation.
Learning by doing in a real-life environment is a motivating way for students to learn. However, this requires a professional interest on the part of the student and a level of challenge appropriate to the practical exercise. This type of learning method is described as Learning by doing. At the South-Eastern Finland University of Applied Sciences, this method is part of the training in energy technology studies in cooperation with RDI projects and companies.
