Twelve public buildings on a central control system used 37% less heat; 560 retrofitted flats used 3.5% less. Dresden's EU lighthouse measured both, against different baselines.

MAtchUP was a Horizon 2020 lighthouse project in which Dresden, alongside Valencia and Antalya, demonstrated energy, mobility and ICT measures from 1 October 2017 to 30 September 2023, with Johannstadt as its pilot district. In Dresden it retrofitted 560 flats in 10-storey blocks on Pfotenhauerstraße, built a District Future House with rooftop solar, a battery and an energy management system, put a tenant electricity model on Blasewitzer Straße 36, connected 12 public buildings to a central building control centre and tested adaptive street lighting on a cycle path, alongside electric and hybrid vehicles, charging points and mobility hubs. The project did not create Dresden's open data portal, which was in place before its evaluation baseline; it added datasets, several APIs and a sensor data hub.

Completed 📅 2017–2023

📊 Impact

Over twelve monitored months against a baseline, the consortium's technical evaluation reports a 37% cut in thermal energy in the 12 public buildings on the control centre, 70% less electricity for the cycle-path lighting from LED lamps and sensor-based dimming combined, and a 3.5% reduction in thermal energy in the retrofitted blocks. In the tenant-electricity building the local renewable share rose from 0% to 35% on average while its electricity consumption went up 0.6%. The District Future House used 21% less heat than its simulated reference building, but its peak loads increased significantly, 49% for electricity and 17% for thermal energy. A digital twin of the 102nd primary school, calibrated on a year of measurements, put the saving from switching heating pumps off at night at 22.8 MWh of heat a year (14.2%) — a simulated potential, for which the report recommended a prototype.

🎓 Lesson

In Dresden the control layer, not the construction, carried the clearest measured saving. The control centre for 12 public buildings had €199,084 in funding and cut their heat use by 37%; the retrofit of 560 flats had €11,189,210.44 and cut it by 3.5%, and the evaluation's monthly values for the retrofit range from 108% to -23%, so one year says little about its effect. The two figures come from different buildings and baselines and do not rank the investments against each other. Credit needs the same care: the city's October 2023 press release lists over 60 MOBI points among the project's measures, while the project's own 2018 plan was to plan three mobility hubs in Johannstadt and implement one, with the citywide pilot hubs funded by the national climate protection initiative.
