- Qualitative Assessment Methodology for Positive Energy District Planning GuidelinesPublication . Neumann, Hans-Martin; Garayo, Sergio Díaz; Gaitani, Niki; Vettorato, Daniele; Aelenei, Laura Elena; Borsboom, Judith; Etminan, Ghazal; Kozlowska, Anna; Reda, Francesco; Rose, Jørgen; Tuominen, PekkaABSTRACT: Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) have recently become an important concept for urban development. However, the number of publications on the transfer of the PED concept to practice is still very limited. This conference paper presents an analysis of the current state of the art in guidelines regarding the planning and implementation of PEDs based on the analysis of 25 PED guidelines reported by anonymous contributors, collaborating in the development of the IEA EBC Annex 83 activities. From this analysis, it becomes clear that nearly all documents including were produced in the period 2018–2020. Most guidelines address local and/or regional governments, focusing predominantly on urban development and planning processes or technological solutions, mostly at the scale level of the district or city, and less often at building block or individual building level. Although some of the documents are journal papers with a very narrow view on specific technological design or implementation aspects, seven guidelines can provide city administrations, urban stakeholders, solution providers and research with overall information on and suggestions for the process of planning, implementing, monitoring and evaluation of PEDs, and a description of the potential impact of PEDs. They result of the analysis will serve as baseline for the future work within IEA Annex 83, in particular for drafting IEA Annex 83 guidelines for the planning and implementation of PEDs.
- Definitions of Positive Energy Districts: A Review of the Status Quo and ChallengesPublication . Albert-Seifried, Vicky; Murauskaite, Lina; Massa, Gilda; Aelenei, Laura Elena; Baer, Daniela; Krangsas, Savis Gohari; Alpagut, Beril; Mutule, Anna; Pokorny, Nikola; Vandevyvere, HanABSTRACT: This paper presents an overview of PED definitions used in five prominent EU programmes and nine PED-relevant projects across Europe. By drawing similarities and finding discrepancies between them, the paper aims to identify the gaps and challenges in existing work. Through systematic comparison, the paper recognises common traces and differences between existing definitions. The main challenges include the definition of PED boundaries, the method for calculating energy balance, the scope of non-energy matters and the assessment of qualitative requirements. As the PED definitions are to be applied to locations with considerably different local contexts, it would be sensible to develop PED definitions in the form of an adaptive framework. This review marks the start of a quest for a universal framework of PED definitions that addresses the existing challenges. The goal is to provide the evidence base for policymakers and other relevant stakeholders in strengthening the PED concept and ease its implementation.
