PED strategies
The successful implementation of a Positive Energy District relies on a combination of different technological, social, and economic components. Click on each card to explore the different strategies.
Renewable
energy
generation
Objective: ensure self-sufficiency
Examples: solar panels, wind turbines, geothermal systems, and biomass plants
Energy
efficient buildings
Objective: create low-carbon built environment
Examples: passive design and retrofitting strategies (insulation, HVAC, shading)
Smart
management
systems
Objective: balance energy demand and supply
Examples: microgrids for flexibility; adjust consumption via demand management
Energy
storage &
flexibility
Objective: address fluctuation in renewables production
Examples: battery storage, thermal storage, and vehicle to grid (V2G) technology
Sustainable
mobility
solutions
Objective: transition to clean transportation
Examples: shared mobility systems (bike sharing, public transport), EV charging
Community
engagement &
governance
Objective: achieve long-term sustainability
