Description
PEDs, including positive energy buildings (PEBs), are characterized by a positive energy balance in a group of buildings, with increased use of local renewable energy sources and the achievement of environmental, economic and social benefits. In these urban energy configurations, the pure energy consumer is transformed into a prosumer, who plays an active role in the future energy transition. In order for this transformation to take place, the project is framed by a co-creative process with objectives such as improving the built infrastructure, creating a more affordable renewable energy-based market, and increasing the flexibility of buildings and districts that both produce and consume energy. The project supports local actors to achieve long-term sustainability.
