Over the next five years, Dresden will become a smart city with support from EA Systems Dresden GmbH. Dresden-Johannstadt will be transformed into an energy-efficient urban district. Alongside implementing specific measures, the focus is on transferability and scalability to other districts and cities. EA Systems Dresden participates in seven work packages. Through the capabilities of GreenCity simulation, EA Systems Dresden plays a central, connecting role in the overall project.
