The results showed that smarter energy management in urban districts is not only possible, but also <strong>replicable<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Efficity was an important milestone in developing <strong>digital solutions<\/strong> to support the local energy transition, providing concrete evidence of the role that algorithmic optimisation can play in <strong>urban sustainability<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Co-financed by the Regione Emilia-Romagna under the POR-FESR 2014-2020
