EDUPED - Educational campuses as the drivers for Positive Energy Districts

EDUPED’s aims to accelerate the transition to Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) by systemically applying morphology approaches for urban regeneration and refurbishment. It co-creates PED strategies through 5 living labs in the Netherlands, Spain, Austria, Italy, and Romania; which are selected based on their high potential to integrate diverse perspectives. EDUPED adopts a Research Oriented Approach to achieve tangible and scalable results comprising technical solutions, socio-economic frameworks, governance and regulatory considerations for: a) minimizing energy consumption through deep retrofitting; b) maximizing local RES potentials and flexibility through smart multi-commodity grids; and c) mitigating climate-change effects on higher cooling/heating demands.
