The article highlights the need to rethink and reconceptualise the accepted concepts of smart cities and villages by shifting the attention from technology and technological solutions and moving it towards understanding the significance of communities and sustainability. The conceptual framework combines four essential features—community, village, city and sustainability—and analyses the links and relationships between them. A new community-centred approach to development is suggested in order to emphasise that sustainable living cannot be achieved only through technological solutions. Instead, we suggest that to ensure social sustainability, appropriation, and effectiveness of new solutions in the long term, the process has to start, be adapted and led by people and their needs. In this light, the article analyses three dimensions of smart living—energy, mobility, waste—through the prism of rural–urban linkages and the role of ICT. Core principles and recommendations (calm technology, community size, identification of community leaders, surveillance and control issues, community building) for designers of ICT solutions and developmental projects in smart cities and villages are presented. These principles take into account people and communities and combine findings of engineering and social sciences, especially anthropology, psychology, and sociology.

Under H2020 program, the European Commission (EC) is investing in projects that aim to develop IT tools that are attractive for its users and therefore leading to a long-term behavior change for energy savings. Four of such funded projects are: BENEFFICE, enCOMPASS, MOBISTYLE and UtilitEE. To ensure exploitation and further uptake of the project results, EC provides Support Services for Exploitation of Research Results (SSERR). Through this support, a workshop was held at the Sustainable Places Conference 2019 to present the business value proposition of the above mentioned H2020 projects. This paper presents the outcomes of the workshop on how to pitch the research projects. Conclusive remarks were given to provide projects partners further recommendations on how to exploit the results to key actors (such as investors and business partners).

“…Thanks to the results of these analyses, the processes of energy renovation and their activation were investi-gated. The project then focused on the actors involved in this process, the end-users and the professionals [2]. In-the-field ethnographic analyses have been carried out to illustrate how the context defines and influences the renovation process [3], highlighting its complexity and variability [4,5].…”

Energy efficiency in existing building stock is a priority for achieving the decarbonization objectives imposed by the European Union. Several European projects have addressed the issue and suggested strategies. In particular, the TripleA-reno project has among its objectives the development of a web tool for the energy assessment of buildings so that users can simulate the economic and energy benefits of the renovation process. The paper aims to assess the impact of simplification in geometric, energetic and modelling input on the calculation of the energy performance of buildings. The study was conducted on a case study of the TripleA-reno project, located in Concordia Sagittaria (Venice). The architectural configuration, the structural typology and the stratigraphies of the building and the interventions foreseen by the redevelopment project are described. After defining the energy modelling software intended to be used, a detailed energy assessment was carried out, which was subsequently approximated by maintaining unchanged only the gross heated volume and the characteristics of the opaque and transparent elements. The different energy assessments were then analyzed to compare and evaluate the parameters most influenced by the simplification introduced and the variation of the S/V ratio. Finally, the TripleA-reno platform was used to compare the results with both the detailed and the simplified model.
