AMSTERDAM SMART CITY

Making energy part of our daily Life Energy Management Display

-  Co-developed ested with 350 consumers -  Co-Developer with 50 entrepreneurs (Climate Street) -  More interactive (include weather) and simplified (and clear focus on energy)

2. Living Lab Approach

AMSTERDAM SMART CITY 7

Enhancing quality of life of elderly (and reduce care costs) HealthLab

-  3 locations -  Per location a test group of 8 – 20 elderly -  Outside locations a test group of 150 elderly First results (deployed) -  Singing classes using videopresence -  Using sensors to detect differences in patterns

and when needed warn neighbours or professionals -  Using iPad’s to organize community events

(including wordfeud)
