Urban LED lighting in the Merezzate district

The new LED urban lighting in the Merezzate district was created by AEC with the supply of MOD 2.0 URBAN on an RX pole. REDO Smart District Merezzate is the new laboratory district for the integration of clean energy, sustainable mobility and circular economy, born from the synergy between the Municipality of Milan and REDO SGR. The residential area is the largest social housing district in Italy where a real smart urban regeneration project was carried out with the use of technologies with a lower environmental impact. AEC Illuminazione was chosen for the lighting of its residential areas with high energy-saving LED street lamps and lower CO2 emissions, an important public lighting project aimed at enhancing the new area using technologies with less impact on the environment.

The advantages of the intervention

Cost reduction

AEC’s intervention for LED urban lighting in the Merezzate district involved the use of low-consumption street lamps which ensured significant energy savings and a net reduction in short-term maintenance.

Increased security

The use of AEC technology has allowed the new urban areas of the Merezzate neighbourhood to increase safety, making public areas more accessible even at night for a greater experience of citizens, safeguarding the area.

Urban development

The use of high-quality LED light has allowed an urban enhancement of the new Milanese residential area, making the new structures more attractive for citizens and new investors.

Low environmental impact

The LED technology used by AEC for the new energy efficiency intervention has reduced the impact of lighting on the environment by producing less CO2 emissions.
