On April 14, 2026, partners and stakeholders gathered in Dubrovnik (Croatia), hosted by Dubrovnik Airport Ltd, for the pilot testing visit dedicated to the air transport sector.
This pilot represents a key step in testing the implementation of a customised Environmental Management System (EMS) within airport operations. The focus is on the energy management of HVAC systems, identified as a Significant Energy User, with the aim of improving energy efficiency and reducing emissions through advanced monitoring and analysis tools.
The pilot includes the integration of real-time monitoring, reporting, and predictive analysis functionalities to support more efficient management of heating and cooling systems within airport infrastructure. These solutions aim to enhance data accuracy, transparency, and decision-making processes related to energy consumption.
During the visit, project partners and stakeholders had the opportunity to observe the EMS implementation in a real operational environment, exchange knowledge, and discuss challenges and opportunities related to energy management in the aviation sector.
As part of the REDU-CE-D pilot phase, these visits play a crucial role in validating the developed EMS solutions, collecting feedback from stakeholders, and ensuring their adaptability and transferability across different transport modes.
Following the pilot visits in Budapest (water transport) and Dubrovnik (air transport), the upcoming testing activities will continue in Trieste (rail transport) and Krakow (urban transport), further contributing to the development of innovative and scalable solutions for energy efficiency in Central Europe.
