PAB_LivingLab – Vive a descarbonização no Parque Adão Barata

• Reduce the carbon intensity of the activities and services of the Adão Barata Park through the implementation of innovative technological solutions;
• Empower the entire value chain, with a view to promoting active citizenship;

• To raise awareness among the population of the benefits of adopting sustainable lifestyles;
• Involve the whole community in the development of technologies, promoting their rapid appropriation.

WHY
?

The project arises from the need to contribute to the existence of more sustainable and resilient territories to Climate Change.

The choice of an urban park as the place to implement the laboratory was supported taking into account the functions of Urban Green Spaces in their different disciplinary areas: environmental, economic and social. Being a green space in an urban environment, it has multiple functions, from contributing to the preservation of biodiversity to bringing the population closer to nature, thus promoting health and well-being.

• Water efficiency, through the installation of an intelligent irrigation system;
• Waste management, through a sustainable waste management plan and the promotion of its valorization;
• Air quality management, through the installation of a sensing system;
• Management of green spaces by increasing the carbon sequestration potential of the BAP.

• Technological support infrastructures capable of providing information about traffic and mobility with the objective of reducing the affluence of cars in the perimeter of the PAB and promoting soft mobility;
• Smart Parking - where electromagnetic sensors will be installed that will detect the presence of a vehicle per parking space;
• Infrastructure for counting and sensing bicycles and promoting soft mobility.

• Community of renewable energy through a photovoltaic production plant and a smart metering system and management platform, aiming at reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions.

• "Building Information Modeling" with IoT, enriching an advanced management model for the building "Palácio Marqueses Praia e Monforte", contributing to the reduction of the building's carbon footprint.

• Living Lab in an innovative and sustainable way in an inclusive and resilient space, seeking to improve the quality of life of citizens and communities;
• Platforms for aggregation and communication of all information generated, involving companies, local businesses, authorities, schools, universities and citizens;
• Dissemination of all products developed, nationally and internationally.
