| 12 | )))|(% style="width:730px" %)This KPI is calculated from measured data using a methodology defined by URBAN GreenUP Project. Energy savings due to improved Green Infrastructure (ESGI) will be calculated by converting other KPIs (BASE KPIs, with other units of measurement) into its associated energy saving. Accordingly, from the complete list of KPIs measured at Valladolid DEMOSITE, the ones that imply an energy saving will be considered | ||

| 39 | * The initial step is the selection of the KPIs that either directly or indirectly generate energy savings (BASE KPI). As an example, at one particular site in the URBAN GreenUP project the following KPIs were selected: tons of carbon removed or stored per unit area per unit time, energy savings from reduced building energy consumption, temperature reduction in urban areas, intercepted rainfall, water for irrigations purposes or water removed from water treatment system. Once these KPIs are identified, they can be converted into their corresponding energy savings. Initially, units have to be harmonized to the same timescale (referred to the same period of time; daily, monthly, annually).This harmonization will be conducted considering constant values along the time (either if the time should be extended or reduced) as indicated in the table | ||

| 41 | * Once all the BASE KPIs have the same timescale, their corresponding energy savings will be calculated. Each one of the BASE KPIs considered for this calculation is given in different primary units. Therefore, for the calculation of their associated energy savings, when required, they will be converted into energy units by means of specific conversion factors. Accordingly, the factors required to convert the primary units into energy units are the ones stablished in the table. | ||
| 42 | * [[image:1642081659510-208.png]] | ||
| 43 | * These conversion factors will be provided by the different stakeholders. Once the conversion factors are stablished, energy savings due to improved green infrastructure for each specific BASE KPI (KPI𝑖) will be calculated following the expression: | ||

| 46 | ** To calculate the final value of the ESGI KPI, and only once all the BASE KPIs are converted into their associated energy savings per period of time, all the energy savings will be summed up according to the following expression: | ||
