LIGHT

The aim of LIGHT is to support the comprehensive, energy-oriented transformation of existing and new urban neighbourhoods while enhancing health and well-being of citizens. As such, LIGHT will explore urban planning strategies centered around integrated solutions designed to enhance both energy performance and human well-being, with a strong emphasis on socio-economic considerations. Our focus includes integrating energy systems with blue-green infrastructure (BGI) to mitigate urban heat island (UHI) effects, optimize daylighting in densified areas, as well as reduce noise and ensure good air quality despite high urban density. By utilizing various tools and techniques, such as participatory scenario modelling and policy development tools, LIGHT thus aims to set a standard for healthy Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) which bring about high quality of life.
