However, intelligent control of subsystems can significantly reduce their energy consumption without impacting the passenger comfort or safety or requiring expensive refurbishment of existing equipment. Within the EU project SEAM4US, a system for intelligent energy management of such public underground spaces has been developed, integrating components for the monitoring of the physical state of the station, passenger occupancy and energy consumption of all subsystems, as well as for the control of lights, fans and escalators. During its development, we have focused on building upon existing infrastructure that was not designed for energy efficiency while adding just as much additional technology as necessary. The system prototype has been deployed in the metro station Passeig de Gràcia–Line 3 in Barcelona, which we consider the first smart energy-aware metro station in the world.
