Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) are pioneer strategies for cities to achieve climate-neutral energy planning in an attractive, innovative, and human-centered way. This study presents the first outcomes of the research COST Action CA19126 PED-EU-NET, focusing on creating a comprehensive PED-Database to support municipalities in decision-making.
Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) are considered as one of the pioneer strategies to guide cities in their energy planning process towards climate neutrality in an attractive, innovative and human-centered way. The concept of PED is the result of a long co-creation process and integrates several multidimensional features, aiming to promote the sustainable development of urban areas and the transition of cities towards a climate neutral energy system. The paper provides an overview of the first outcomes of WG1 PED Mapping, Characterization and Learning, in the research COST Action CA19126 Positive Energy Districts European Network (PED-EU-NET). This study describes activities that focus on creating a comprehensive PED-Database by mapping existing concepts, strategies, projects, technological and non-technological solutions related to PEDs in Europe. The main objective of the Database is to support municipalities through the decision-making process by providing strategies for building and running a successful PED that can provide alternatives to consider, and is powered by an interactive web-based map. The design of the Database framework is supported by a step-by-step methodology adopted in the framework of the CA19126 in order to develop the PED-Database as an interactive, updatable and user-friendly tool.
