Making PEDs

Improving sustainability of the building stock in neighbourhoods is a key challenge for the urban transition. The Making PEDs project will conduct research and plan climate neutral positive energy districts (PEDs) with the ambition of facilitating its implementation using digital twins. Digital twins will connect 3D web-based visualization applications with simulation tools to aid decision-making and participatory processes. In addition, the tools will be able to explore the renovation of the building stock and the impact of Citizen Energy Communities (CECs), as part of Climate Neutral PEDs. Results will be tested in four urban areas, Linz (Austria), Civitavechia-Rome (Italy), Bærum (Norway) and El Prat de Llobregat (Spain), all acting as Urban Living Labs.
