Last week I wrote about the Energy Roadmap for Amsterdam (http://smartcityhub.com/energy/the-forthcoming-energy-revolution-in-amsterdam/). The extension of the warm and cold water network received a lot of attention, but the target - at least 75 km new underground pipes every year - is quite a challenge. A masterplan for all future digging into the ground is necessary. In my newest blogpost I dig into the need for renewable district energy. By the way, a Dutch version can be found here: https://wp.me/p32hqY-1Ev

As you can read in the message of Ruby below, yesterday evening the Energy Transition Roadmap has been presented by professor Andy van den Dobbelsteen. In my newest post (the work of one night) you will become acquainted with the main direction at the map. In addition I summarise some project that are already running which are representative for the changes ahead.

Amsterdam wil in 2050 helemaal onafhankelijk zijn van aardgas. Dit is een grote ambitie. Wat vinden lokale politici de belangrijkste maatregelen die we moeten nemen om dit te realiseren?
De gemeenteraadsverkiezingen komen eraan! Op 21 maart, kunnen we weer stemmen voor onze lokale vertegenwoordiging. Amsterdam Smart City vraagt politici wat zij vinden van belangrijke onderwerpen als data, veiligheid en de energietransitie.

Amsterdam wants to get rid of natural gas in 2050. What are the most important decisions we have to take to make this ambition a reality, according to local politicians?
Local elections coming up! On the 21st of March, we can vote for our local government again. In three videos, Amsterdam Smart City asks politicians from the Amsterdam city council about their views on important topics. Videos in Dutch.

Green City Buzz is realising the construction of several solar energy systems (PV) on flat roofs throughout the city center.

As it stands, the process to install a PV system - subsidies & funding, permits, construction, the works - is quite complex. In this trial project we’re trying to achieve two things: a patchwork blanket of solar roofs in central Amsterdam, to further renewable energy production, reduce fossil power reliance, and create an example for other areas; and two, to simplify the process and lower the threshold for property owners or corporate tenants in future.

At the moment we’ve assured several interested parties and SDE+ subsidies. We’d love to add more applicants to the group, and scale up this project.

Werkgroep De Schone Pijp organiseert samen met Wijkcentrum De Pijp en de gemeente Amsterdam Kennislab De Schone Stad. Kennisdelen,oplossingen zoeken voor vuilnisvraagstukken in onze stad en ervaringen delen. De uitkomsten van dit Lab presenteren we aan de gemeenteraad. Meld je nu aan!

Het vuil in de stad is de verantwoordelijkheid van iedereen, de bewoner, de ondernemer en de bezoeker.

Amsterdamse bewoners en ondernemers, kom en praat mee!

Wij willen graag ideeen uitwisselen. samen met jullie mogelijke oplossingen zoeken voor vuilnisvraagstukken in onze stad en opgedane ervaringen, nieuwe inzichten, successen en valkuilen delen.

See what a WikiHouse can look like and how it is made. What is offers and learn about the possibilities of building a WikiHouse.

Our mission

1. To put the design solutions for building low-cost, low-energy, high-performance homes into the hands of every citizen and business on earth.
2. To use digitisation to make it easier for existing industries to design, invest-in, manufacture and assemble better, more sustainable, more affordable homes for more people.
3. To grow a new, distributed housing industry, comprising many citizens, communities and small businesses developing homes and neighbourhoods for themselves, reducing our dependence on top-down, debt-heavy mass housing systems.

My name is Tushar Narula and I am a sophomore at UC Berkeley pursuing Sustainable Environmental Design concentrating in Business, Economic Policy. I am also pursuing certifications in design innovation and technology entrepreneurship. I have always been involved in the field of sustainable cities and their development. Being fortunate enough to gain experience from various companies and research projects. I have always passionately explored different parts of the field including consulting, developing and shaping different projects.

These opportunities have provided me with a world exposure. I have also been constantly involved in the development of sustainability on campus and also made a smart campus club for the Berkeley campus. I was wondering if there would be any possibility that I could work with the Amsterdam smart city in the form of an internship and learn more as well as contribute.it could be as short as 1-2 weeks and I would not be looking for a pay but would be really eager to gain this as an opportunity and learn so much more about the field.

The world biggest cities, Amsterdam among them, founded the Climate Leadership Group (C40). C40 has made visible the policy implications for cities like Amsterdam in order to comply with the Paris Agreement in three detailed reports. I accentuate the necessity of taking note, because the reduction of global warming is one of the core objectives of being smart. I made a short summary of the reports, using their most appealing tables and graphs, which you will find below.

The Smart City Hackathon is a series of events in different countries that focuses on the intersection of digital technology and urbanization, and this year the Netherlands hackathon will be held on March 23-24, 2018 at Rockstart, Amsterdam.

The Smart City Hackathon 2018: Amsterdam will bring together entrepreneurs and select university students to build scalable business models in one of four tracks: energy efficiency, air quality, waste management, and smart transportation.

This is a business models competition (no coding), and hackathon winners will be given industry prizes, unparalleled marketing opportunities, and more!

As energy costs are increasing, more and more consumers are becoming actively interested in reducing their energy consumption in a household. Many years, different technologies have been implemented and developed to solve the heat energy consuming over a long time, as the implementation needs a high investment.

The research is focused on finding general attitudes of people regarding energy consumption & heating at homes. The goal of the form is to gather enough data to create a suitable furniture product which can reduce energy bills that fits most of people's budget, as well as their needs.

IN THE FUTURE, WE WILL LIVE, WORK AND DRIVE ON RENEWABLE ENERGY
By linking solar and wind energy to the emergence of electric vehicles, we can accelerate the energy transition from fossil to sustainable fuels. In order to realize this, we have to work together on smart solutions.

SMART CHARGING
We charge our electric vehicles when there is an abundant supply of solar and wind energy and avoid peak hours on the electricity grid. We use the batteries of electric vehicles to store this renewable energy for later use, for driving or for example to use it for cooking or for heating our homes. This is crucial in order to meet the growing energy demand and to optimally use renewable energy.

ARE YOU A PROGRAMMER, DESIGNER, DEVELOPER, DATA SCIENTIST OR INNOVATOR? ARE YOU A STUDENT, BUILDING YOUR STARTUP?
WE WANT YOU!
We are looking for the smartest, most innovative students, companies and start-ups in the world to help us unleash all the possibilities of smart charging. The team that comes up with the best idea will win one of the four prizes of € 2500,- and will receive support to further develop and implement their idea.
The Smart Charging Challenge will be organized at Broedplaats CONTACT Amsterdam (Contactweg 47, 1014AN Amsterdam). A former car dealership, long the domain of fossil fueled cars, has been transformed into a circular co-working space. A great place to work on new and smart applications, for prototyping and testing!

CHALLENGES
What is a hackathon without exciting challenges? Our partners have come across four challenges in their daily operations that are waiting for a creative solution – your winning idea is wanted to be implemented right after the Smart Charging Challenge!
