On World Energy Efficiency Day, innovation plays a key role in reducing energy consumption and combating climate change. Technology centers in Castilla y León promote efficiency in historic buildings, sustainable construction and agricultural digitalization. Discover how technology is transforming energy use for a more sustainable future.
March 5 marks World Energy Efficiency Day, a key date to reflect on the responsible use of energy. In a world where the climate crisis and high energy consumption threaten our future, technological innovation is essential to achieve a transition to more sustainable models.
In this context, the Technology Centers of Castilla y León play a crucial role with projects that optimize energy use, improve efficiency in key sectors and reduce the carbon footprint.
From smart automation in historic buildings to digitizing agriculture for sustainable carbon management, these projects demonstrate the potential of technology to transform key sectors in the fight against climate change.
Innovative energy efficiency projects
CARTIF – SMARTeeSTORY Project
Energy efficiency in historic buildings
The SMARTeeSTORY project, led by CARTIFseeks to improve energy efficiency in historic non-residential buildings through an intelligent automation and control system. This system, based on the Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) methodology, optimizes energy performance by integrating multiple domains and allowing the active participation of users in real time.
Benefits of the SMARTeeSTORY project:
- Energy optimization in buildings with high heritage value without compromising their structure.
- Reduction of energy consumption and associated costs through intelligent systems.
- Greater comfort and active participation of users thanks to a system that detects their preferences in real time.
- Better conservation of the architectural heritage with solutions adapted to your needs.

CARTIF – SIRCULAR
Towards sustainable and low-carbon construction
Also from the hand of CARTIFthe SIRCULAR project promotes the decarbonization of the construction sector through strategies that reduce dependence on virgin materials and encourage the use of recycled alternatives. Its innovative approach facilitates sustainable decision making in building, ensuring a reduced environmental impact.
Benefits of the SIRCULAR project:
- Reduction of carbon emissions in construction.
- Minimization of the use of virgin materials, promoting a circular economy.
- Sustainable decision making thanks to a digital support system.
- Greater commitment of authorities and social housing sectors to sustainable practices.

AIR Institute – FARMS4CLIMATE
Digitalization and sustainability in agriculture
From AIR Institutethe FARMS4CLIMATE (F4C) project seeks to revolutionize Mediterranean agriculture with smart governance models and regenerative practices. With technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain and remote sensing, this project optimizes soil carbon sequestration, promoting a more efficient, sustainable and profitable agricultural model.
Benefits of the FARMS4CLIMATE project:
- Carbon capture and storage, reducing GHG emissions in agriculture.
- Increased profitability for farmers through carbon credit trading.
- Efficient use of water and natural resources through digitalization.
- Supporting rural communities with smart and sustainable governance models.
