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...
Climate adaptation, mitigation, and protecting strategies are becoming even more important as climate change is intensifying. The impacts of especially tangible in dense urban areas due to the inherent characteristics structure materiality. To assess densification on potential adaptation a densely populated Viennese district was modeled typical sample area for city Vienna. case study analyzed large-scale its effects microclimate, air flow, comfort, energy demand by developing 3D models...
This article investigates the potential of selected urban typologies in Vienna to reach state Positive Energy Districts (PED) by achieving a positive annual energy balance. It follows EU initiative for implementing at least 100 PED Europe 2025. Four have been assessed using bottom-up modelling tool MAPED that enables simplified demand-supply analysis district scale. Considering relevant different construction periods, focused on converting allocated building stocks into employing...
This work deals with the application of a bottom-up and scenario-based approach to analyse future urban energy development. For this purpose, consistent scenarios long term socio-economic, technological demographic developments considered area are prepared. The key development parameters focus on technology infrastructure transformation related EE improvement electrification in all consumption sectors, including shifts mobility modes lifestyle changes driven by financial incentives...
In order to model daylight availability and distribution in architectural spaces, simulation tools require reliable representations of boundary conditions – typically terms sky luminance models. However, the impact errors on simulation-based indoor illuminance predictions is not well documented. There are different methods simulate related indicators. present study, we selected Radiance lighting program. generate scene description, contains two routines, namely, Gendaylit Gensky. These...
