Schedule: Positive Energy Districts Training Programme

This blended intensive programme (BIP) supports the capacity building of master´s students, PhD students, postdocs, researchers, engineers and practitioners in Positive Energy Districts (PED). Here you can find the schedule.

This BIP is planned to transfer essential knowledge to relevant stakeholders on the Erasmus+ network who are committed to supporting the PED development and carbon-neutral city transformation.

The five-day intensive course aims to cover comprehensive aspects of PED, including four main sections:

  1. Definitions and Context,
  2. Technical mastery,
  3. Impact assessment,
  4. Implementation and Replication.

The course will combine lectures, group exercises, site visits, lab visits, workshops, poster and self-presentations. The participants will have the chance to practise different tools for the simulation and planning of PED. The course will be held in the Borlänge campus of Dalarna University in Sweden.
