Introduction
The ECO-City city demonstration sites in Tudela comprise a whole integrated community approach to energy efficiency and sustainable energy supply and constitute an extension of existing policies towards a more sustainable community development.
The overall objective of the effort is to connect and balance the energy supply and demand side through an intelligent energy management system. In the future system energy supply is solely based on wind power, electricity from Photo Voltaics panels and thermal energy from passive solar and solar collectors.
The concerto project will set a reference for new standards to prevail in the community both in retrofitting, new buildings and energy supply and the initiatives will be anchored in the whole community through training and extensive dissemination.
