LUCIA
New lighting solutions for cities
Urban lighting plays an important role in the city design in the Baltic Sea region. In fact, 60% of the overall energy consumed in urban areas is attributed to street lighting and other urban lighting, e.g. for infrastructure. Modern LED lighting has energy savings potential of 50% compared to conventional systems. Other functionalities, such as an automatic adjustment of luminosity, additionally raise that potential. The project LUCIA introduces such lighting solutions into urban planning, and by this helps municipalities reduce energy consumption.
Innovate through piloting
LUCIA runs five pilots, which take into consideration insufficient knowledge on the lighting technologies, financial constraints, policy gaps and lacking involvement of citizens. LED energy efficient lighting is installed in six cities: Albertslund (Denmark), Hamburg (Germany), Jurmala (Latvia), Porvoo (Finland), St. Petersburg (Russia) and Tallinn (Estonia). The replication potential is then evaluated by metropolitan regions of Copenhagen, Hamburg, Riga, Helsinki-Uursimaa, St. Petersburg and Tallinn.
An online urban lighting centre is set up to connect managers responsible for lighting in cities around the Baltic Sea in order to exchange experiences on planning procedures and selection of urban lighting solutions.

Highlights by mid-term
LUCIA developed the lighting knowledge centre, an online platform that includes a database of best practices, an exchange forum and an application. The knowledge centre provides people with the right information when developing a smart, energy-efficient urban lighting project. The database will be maintained after the project lifetime. It shall serve as a long-lasting service platform that supports cities and public authorities in planning and implementing smart lighting solutions in the whole Baltic Sea region.
Besides this, the project partners developed 15 factsheets. The factsheets serve as a concise introduction to the key aspects of modern and energy-efficient lighting planning for the local stakeholders in charge of urban lighting.
