Districts & Built Environment
Main deliverables:
•
Enable the reduction of energy use, environmental impact and carbon footprint at district
level in an integrated manner by using smart combinations of on the market or near to
market products, materials & technologies.
•
Enable the Integration and streamlining of energy systems
•
Create economic benefit for the region involved (jobs, education, etc.)
•
Bridge the gap from small scale pilots to large scale market uptake
Scope:
•
The building (envelope) is the starting point.
Action Focus:
•
Using, combining and implementing on the market or near to market solutions.
•
Not re-inventing the wheel but cleverly combine what is available and make it applicable at
a large scale to improve replicability.
Action deliverables….2 groups
1. Actions that facilitate or enable large scale market uptake
2. Large scale actions (m2) that provide the large scale launching ground needed for new
concepts to test and to unleash the market and to test & implement financial products &
models.
