Pilots
The use of intelligent lighting in public areas can increase the attractiveness and safety or to reduce the energy consumption. Part of the project will be several pilots that will run in the three cities. Currently pilots are running in Stratumseind in Eindhoven, the port area in Rotterdam and the Amsterdam ArenA Area.
E3 collaboration
The three cities represent the three most important economical areas in the Netherlands. In 2011 the three cities decided to increase the intensity in collaboration to strenghten the economy and international competitiveness of the industry through the procurement of innovative solutions. For this purpose the E3 SLIM project organised eight workshops for various subjects related to:
  • Knowledge exchange on the application of intelligent lighting solutions
  • Learning and innovating on developments in technology and society
  • Creating a total value case for sustainable intelligent public lighting (integrating economical-, social-, and environmental value)
