TIPS4PED

Cities are responsible for a substantial share of human climate and environmental impact and contribute to around 70% of the European Union's (EU) CO2 emissions and primary energy consumption. At the same time, they are recognised as key drivers for sustainability transformations. Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) are considered a key enabler for emission reductions in the building and mobility sectors. Indeed, PEDs could help to reduce the carbon emissions of urban districts by up to 85%, depending on the region under consideration. The EU aims to develop at least 100 PEDs by 2025. TIPS4PED will design, develop, and test in a relevant environment the effectiveness and the techno-economic viability of a Digital Twin based Platform, to support municipalities in the implementation of Positive Energy Districts.
