Synergizing Buildings Renovation and Regenerative Urban Furniture to Co-create PED Ecosystem

SET-PED aims to develop feasible strategies to synergize the renovation of neighborhood buildings, local energy supply and regenerative urban furniture for a co-creation ecosystem in the positive energy district (PED) context.

Description

Climate-adapted design solutions to building envelope renovation with circular bio-based systems will be developed, which will further inventory feasible materials for urban furniture. The urban furniture will be equipped with solar photovoltaic panels, recycled battery and smart control, through co-creation process at both building and urban scale. This project combines expertise in building renovation, renewable energy, digital & robotic fabrication, design-based research, and urban planning to develop a sustainable and circular co-creation process. SET-PED will test pilots in Mascalucia, Eskilstuna, and Bucharest to enable the development, prototyping, and communication of circular co-design on an EU level.
