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 (PEDs) are considered as one of the pioneer strategies to guide cities in their energy planning process towards climate neutrality an attractive, innovative and human-centered way. The concept PED is result a long co-creation integrates several multidimensional features, aiming promote sustainable development urban areas transition neutral system. paper provides overview first outcomes WG1 “PED Mapping, Characterization Learning”, research COST Action CA19126...
This paper presents the Positive Energy District Database (PED DB), a pivotal web tool developed collaboratively by COST Action ‘PED-EU-NET’, in alignment with international initiatives such as JPI Urban Europe and IEA EBC Annex 83. The PED DB represents crucial step towards sharing knowledge, promoting collaboration, reinforcing decision-making, advancing understanding of Districts (PEDs) pursuit sustainable urban environments. aims to comprehensively map disseminate information on PEDs...
To mitigate the advance of rapid urbanization and growing percentage energy consumption in countries Latin American Caribbean region, it is necessary to transform these inhabited environments into efficient sustainable areas. Energy this region has been mainly understood as an indicator activity development, often relegating parameters efficiency, environment sustainability background. Therefore, adapt criteria transformation processes cities, considering environment, accessibility, social...
The COST Action ‘PED-EU-NET’, JPI Urban Europe, IEA EBC Annex 83 and EERA JP Smart Cities can be considered as the main promoters pioneer initiatives of research on Positive Energy Districts (PEDs), that collaborated to develop a tool called 'PED Database'. aims map, filter, sort, compare PED experiences, providing balanced overview technological non-technological solutions adopted in different projects case studies around Europe beyond. paper present collaborative...
Abstract The development of Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) is a complex process that involves the integration various technologies, stakeholders, and policies. To facilitate this process, database for PEDs has been developed as joint effort COST Action ‘PED-EU-NET’, IEA EBC Annex 83, JPI Urban Europe. This paper reports on realization PED-Database framework its online implementation modular web interoperable platform, giving details life cycle since scoping phase up to testing phase....
