Municipal living-lab sites for sustainable, inclusive and smart public buildings

Ville de Lancy is a Swiss municipality in the Geneva metropolitan area with an active climate and energy strategy and a diverse portfolio of public buildings. We are interested in joining a New European Bauhaus / Horizon Europe consortium as a municipal pilot-site partner and local public authority.

Lancy can offer concrete buildings and operational contexts for testing, demonstrating and replicating solutions in real public assets, including:

• schools and educational buildings;

• nurseries and childcare facilities;

• municipal public offices and administrative buildings;

• sports facilities, including stadium-related buildings and swimming pools;

• community and cultural buildings;

• selected residential or mixed-use municipal assets where relevant.

We can contribute as a local implementation partner by providing access to buildings, technical data where available, coordination with municipal services, operational feedback, user involvement, local logistics, and support for on-site demonstration activities.

The areas of interest include:

• energy renovation of existing public buildings;

• integration of renewable energy systems, including renewable heat and solar electricity;

• smart building management and optimisation of technical installations;

• reduction of energy consumption while improving comfort and indoor-use quality;
