Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) constitute an emerging energy transition paradigm, with ambitious timeline for rapid upscaling to match the urgency of climate mitigation and adaptation. Increasingly networked coordinated actors aim realise 100 PEDs across Europe by 2025. This resonates mission orientation turn European Green New Deal, inspire enable target-driven innovation. Yet it raises questions that have long perplexed scholars practitioners in transitions: how can diffusion be achieved...
Positive Energy Districts (PED) are areas within cities that generate more renewable energy than they consume, contributing to cities’ system transformation toward carbon neutrality. Since PED is a novel concept, the implementation very challenging. Within European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) Action, which offers an open space for collaboration among scientists across Europe (and beyond), this paper asks what needs supporting of PEDs are. To answer this, it draws on Delphi...
As energy generation based on renewable resources does not always match consumption profiles, Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) should embody flexibility technologies to decrease possible negative impacts existing grids due to, e.g., reverse power flows. part of the EU H2020 Smart Cities and Communities project POCITYF, cities Alkmaar (NL) Évora (PT) aim support deployment market uptake such districts in doing so demonstrate innovative integrated enable system. This paper addresses...
The Sureuro Gaming Exercise (SGE) is a management game designed to show managers of housing companies how sustainable urban renewal involves organisational change in addition different operational decisions. This paper presents the SGE has been set up help make design choices at operational, tactical and strategic level. In development paradoxical choice made: communicate complex lessons about designing refurbishment plans, well-structured developed, while plans requires an open approach...
A regional energy transition (RET) implies a drastic transformation of the system and, hence, lot challenges. RET calls for an integrative local approach. In this essay we describe and compare current practice state knowledge on topic. We find that theory has not yet developed sufficiently to address practical Part problem is what been too little connection with practice. conclude development theoretical must be better attuned needs practitioners. © 2018 Firenze University Press.
POCITYF - a H2020 smart-city project supports cities with historical and cultural heritage districts, by developing innovative solutions technologies to be applicable in an architecture characterized historic and/or protected buildings districts. To harmonise the heritage, inclusion of relevant stakeholders' opinions decision-making implementation is crucial, as stakeholders are not only affected solutions, but also influence their successful implementation. identify needs interests relation...
