Schedule: Positive Energy Districts Training Programme

This blended intensive programme (BIP) is dedicated to support the capacity building of master students, PhD students, post-docs, researchers, engineers and practitioners in the field of Positive Energy Districts (PED). Here you can find the schedule.

Such educational programme is planned to transfer essential knowledge to relevant stakeholders on the Erasmus+ network who are committed to support the PED development and carbon-neutral city transformation.

The five-day intensive course aims to cover a comprehensive aspects of PED, including four main sections: (1) Definitions and Context, (2) Technical mastery, (3) Impact assessment, and (4) Implementation and Replication. The course will combine lectures, group exercise, site visit, lab facilities visit, workshop, poster and self-presentations. The participants will have the chance to practise different tools for simulation and planning of PED. The course will be held in Borlänge campus of Dalarna University in Sweden.
