        A1P024: More comments:
        A1P024: More comments:The Cascais Smart Pole by NOVA SBE was implemented in a multifunctional area that integrates housing, commerce, facilities, and public spaces, acquiring a local identity through sociocultural interaction between residents, students, and visitors/tourists , also covering an area of 4.2ha of green spaces. Located in the Municipality of Cascais, a leading municipality in defining a Municipal Roadmap for Carbon Neutrality, the Cascais Smart Pole by NOVA SBE led the generation of change-makers, influencing people and all stakeholders on the path of innovation combined with carbon neutrality. The Cascais Smart Pole is a living lab pilot project that aims to create a carbon-neutral, sustainable urban environment by integrating innovative technological solutions and community engagement. The concept of the project is based on a physical space and a virtual space, providing testing ground for experimentation in domains of decarbonization, renewable energy, and climate resilience. Planned continuation of the project is establishing a Renewable Energy Community (REC) to promote local clean energy production and shared consumption. This initiative will support the Cascais 2030 Sustainable Energy Strategy and the Cascais 2050 Carbon Neutrality Roadmap, engaging residents and businesses in sustainable practices to drive collective impact. A Renewable Energy Community (CER) will be created from the Cascais Smart Pole, which will encourage residents, companies and NOVA SBE to jointly invest in the installation of photovoltaic panels, to share the consumption of the clean energy produced. The panels will be installed on the roof of NOVA SBE and surrounding residential buildings, and all interested parties will be able to participate in the CER by investing, purchasing energy or donating their roof or panels to the CER. The aim is for residents to not only save on their electricity bills, but also obtain social and financial returns and contribute to the decarbonization effort in that geographic area. Main objectives/activities and outcomes of the living lab include: 1. Roadmap for Carbon Neutrality: The project developed a comprehensive inventory of 2019 greenhouse gas emissions and modeled the path to carbon neutrality by 2050. Strategic options for decarbonization were outlined, with a focus on mobility and energy efficiency. The efforts resulted in a 65-ton CO₂ reduction during the project's duration. 2. Smart Pole Platform: A participatory digital platform was created, providing data on project activities and allowing public engagement through submissions of ideas. It also included tools like a carbon footprint calculator. The platform gained over 13,000 visits, fostering collaboration among stakeholders. 3. Smart Pole Community: Community-focused initiatives included renewable energy workshops and microgreen cultivation activities. Events engaged locals and students, with over 17 activities conducted, such as street fairs and environmental workshops. The Microgreen Community distributed kits to promote urban agriculture. 4. Urban Mobility: Sustainable transport behaviors were promoted via a mobile app (MobiCascais), tracking CO₂ emissions saved. Due to delays, some planned features were revised, but the app incorporated mobility KPIs and avoided emissions data. A campaign highlighted the importance of shared mobility. 5. Energy Efficiency: Smart energy management systems optimized HVAC and lighting, integrating occupancy data for predictive efficiency. Indoor air quality monitoring systems were deployed, and smart energy counters were installed in classrooms. The project saved energy while addressing privacy concerns. 6. Circular Economy in Waste: The initiative collected 19.4 tons of used cooking oil, surpassing the goal by 43%, producing biodiesel for municipal vehicles. A gamified "Pay-As-You-Throw" system incentivized recycling, reducing waste contamination rates. Smart bins monitored waste levels, improving collection efficiency. 7. Green Living: Urban green spaces were transformed with native plants and smart irrigation systems, reducing water consumption and enhancing biodiversity. Over 7,000 trees and shrubs were planted, and lawns were replaced with water-efficient meadows. Smart systems optimized water use and tracked conservation progress. 8. Smart Pole Market: Originally intended as a carbon credit marketplace, this activity shifted focus to creating a carbon footprint calculator for businesses. The tool provides actionable insights for companies to reduce their emissions. Workshops introduced the software to local entrepreneurs. 9. Smart Pole World: Communication efforts included public awareness campaigns, workshops, and art initiatives like "Sustent’Arte." Over 20 events engaged stakeholders, promoting the project's goals. The communication strategy emphasized local impact and scalability to inspire other municipalities. Main areas/axes of the living lab: Community, Water, Buildings, Energy, Green Spaces, Mobility, Circular EconomyThe “Reininghausgründe” are a new quarter near the centre of the City of Graz. In the area of a former brewery, close to more, still working industries, a new town centre is being established. It will include living areas, workplaces, shops, schools and a park, so that the need for individual mobility is minimized. It is connected to the city centre by bike paths, busses and a tram. Car sharing is provided as well. Some key-energy aspects: • characteristic 1: For the heat supply in the innovative Reininghaus energy model, low-temperature waste heat from a nearby steel plant is harnessed through the use of heat pumps. • characteristic 2: The district heating system operates at low temperatures. • characteristic 3: Generated heat that is not used immediately is stored in the power tower and supplied on demand. Other important aspects of the project are the following: • characteristic 1: Most houses are low-energy houses, some of the certified with the “Klima Aktiv” label • characteristic 2: There are extremely few parking possibilities for residents and visitors; this will foster the use of public transport and bikes • characteristic 3: All the necessary infrastructure for the “daily need” can be reached within walking distance The area of the project is going to be very “green” when finished. Featuring a big district parc, lots of other green spaces are in planning.

        A2P002: Tools/strategies/methods applied for each of the above-selected fieldslink based regulation of electricity gridCampus Evenstad is a small department at Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences, with 220 students. The vision for Campus Evenstad is an energy-flexible Campus Evenstad in an emission-free Europe. The area consists of approx. 20 buildings managed and owned by Statsbygg; the Norwegian government’s building commissioner, property manager and developer. The oldest building is from the 1700-century and the newest is the administration centre (2017) which is a Zero Emission Building (ZEB) with the highest ambitions (ZEB-COM). Their concept has been to realize Campus Evenstad as an energy pilot, where innovative energy solutions are demonstrated, showing how local areas can become more self-sufficient in energy. The energy system at Evenstad consists of several innovative energy solutions that are new in a Norwegian and European context. They are combined in local infrastructure for electricity and heat, which has led to new knowledge and learning about how the solutions work together, and how the interaction is between the local and the national energy system. The solutions consist of solar cells (PV), solar collectors, combined heat and power plant (CHP) based on wood chips, biofuel boiler, electric boiler, grid connection, district heating, heat storage, stationary battery and bidirectional electric vehicle (EV) charging (V2G). Statsbygg has gained a lot of operational experience from Campus Evenstad - both from individual technologies and from the interaction between these, which benefits Statsbygg's 2,200 buildings and 3 million m2 around Norway. Sharing of experiences is central. Campus Evenstad is a pilot in the Research Centre on Zero Emission Neighbourhoods (ZEN) in Smart Cities were several of the solutions has been developed and studied.Simulation tools: City Energy Analyst and PolysunEnergy efficiency: o Several activities: Workshops, Webinars to deepen the knowledge and raise awareness renewable energies o for example rooftop Photovoltaics green & blue infrastructures o Parks, Rooftop Gardens, Quarter Parks, Water elements included in the parks rooftop farming o To produce vegetables in the quarter stormwater management mobility o less parking and less cars in the district.

EV charging is included in the energy balance.Mobility was an integral part of the CO₂ inventory for the Cascais Smart Pole project, assessed through surveys capturing commuting behaviors among the NOVA SBE community. Emission factors for various transport modes, including private cars, public transport, and active mobility, were calculated to quantify contributions to greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, the MobiCascais app tracked avoided CO₂ emissions from shifts to sustainable mobility options like shared bicycles and public transport. This data was integrated into the project’s digital platform, providing key metrics such as trips taken, kilometers traveled, and tons of CO₂ avoided, supporting the roadmap toward carbon neutrality.- Number of cars per household - Fraction of electric cars - Number of public transport tickets (week/ annual tickets)

The focus on urban energy transitions necessitates a holistic approach that integrates building retrofit, solar technology exploration, and heating supply optimisation. Exploration of Local Solar Sources: The analysis reveals varying solar irradiance resources throughout the year, emphasizing the importance of strategic placement. Integration of combined photovoltaic and thermal panels into building envelopes demonstrates the potential to cover a significant portion of the energy demand even in Sweden. Heating Supply Optimisation with Solar Technologies: Despite the surplus energy production from on-site solar technology, challenges arise due to temporal energy asymmetry. The introduction of heat pumps emerges as a feasible solution to balance energy gaps, utilising both rejected and free heat. Optimisation scenarios, utilising a combination of geothermal heat pumps, water source heat pumps, and PVT, showcase remarkable reductions in emissions and primary energy consumption. Urban Form and Energy Infrastructure Design: We realised the importance of returning to urban form and energy infrastructure design to optimise future residential portfolio potential. Building layout design, influenced by zoning regulations and innovative typologies, plays a crucial role in achieving district level energy efficiency. Future challenges, including demographic shifts, e-mobility, and climate change, necessitate a more holistic approach to energy infrastructure design, addressing not only heating and electricity demands but also cooling requirements.
        A3P005: Sustainable behaviour
        A3P005: Sustainable behaviourUse of public transport, bicycles, and shared mobility options; using carbon footprint calculators to understand and reduce emissions; recycling and proper waste sorting, including biodiesel production from used cooking oil; adopting smart irrigation systems to conserve water in green spaces; engagement in community composting and home composting to reduce organic waste; preparedness for participation in Renewable Energy Communities (RECs) for shared renewable energy production; switching to energy-efficient technologies like LED lighting and A+ rated appliances; participation in events, workshops, and educational courses on sustainability and climate action.- citizen participation and promotion of functioning neighbourhoods (e.g., through city district management) As of today, solutions for the energy transition in the residential sector have focused on the construction of energy-efficient buildings and on the energy-efficient refurbishment of existing buildings. Measures to influence user behaviour and to directly address residents and neighbourhoods as actors of the energy transition play a minor role and are also not formalized. At the same time, moving into a new apartment offers a ‘window of opportunity’ to establish new everyday practices and behaviour. In already inhabited housing developments, well-functioning neighbourhoods or existing, ‘sustainability pioneers’ are key to motivating people to adopt more resource-efficient lifestyles. In order to prepare such agents of change towards more climate protection and sustainability in the context of housing, Austria launched the BAREWO project. The aim is to develop a kit of formats, methods, and interventions for resource-efficient housing. This toolkit will be tested in six testbeds, among which quarter 12 (Q12) of Graz- Reininghaus, as soon as first residents move in (approx. 2024). Austrian TRANS-PED partner StadtLABOR, which is also a partner in the BAREWO project, will support Q12 in this process. In parallel, a monitoring system will be developed to make the (climate) effects of the kit measurable. In addition, a guideline for property managers will be developed, which will serve as an orientation for them on how their residents can be coached in matters of climate protection and sustainability in everyday (residential) life. From the very beginning, (communication) measures are implemented and relevant stakeholders are involved in the project (project advisory board) to ensure the multiplicability, financing and broad application of the toolkit. If successful, the toolkit could also be scaled up to other quarters in Reininghaus.While our investigation primarily centres on technical optimisation within Positive Energy District (PED) development, it is essential to acknowledge the broader scope encompassing social and governance dimensions. Specifically, understanding stakeholders' willingness to embrace technical recommendations upon project completion is important. Several potential influencing factors merit exploration, including economic considerations, technical optimisation-associated embodied carbon balance, the general public's technical perceptions, and operational feasibility. Evaluating these aspects holistically not only enhances the efficacy of PED initiatives but also fosters greater acceptance and participation within the communities they serve.

        A3P010: Legal / Regulatory aspectsCampus Evenstad became a prosumer in 2016, as the first with DSO Eidsiva. Evenstad is also one of the first three PV systems in Norway to receive green certificates.compliance with Renewable Energy Communities (REC) regulations for energy sharing; •adherence to General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for data privacy in smart systems; •following EEA Grants public procurement rules for tendering and service hiring; •meeting urban mobility and transportation regulations for low-emission zones and EV infrastructure; •fulfilling waste management regulations for biodiesel production and organic waste processingMobility contracts: A mobility contract is concluded between the City of Graz and the property developers in the course of development plans and serves to reduce the motor vehicle traffic to be expected as a result of the construction project. Push & pull measures are agreed: With a lower car parking space key, which is significantly lower than today's usual requirements, offers and information for easier use of public transport, walking and cycling, as well as car sharing and e-mobility are simultaneously created by the property developers, leading to a win-win-win situation for all parties involved. Basic principles - Possibility of combining effective "push & pull" measures => control option (e.g. reduction of car parking spaces, but optimisation of accessibility to public transport and walking and cycling networks, public transport tickets, mobility information, ... etc.) - Changing mobility behaviour in favour of sustainable forms of transport from the moment the flat is handed over ("upheaval" in personal mobility behaviour when changing the residential location) - Reduction in construction and maintenance costs (underground car parks, public road infrastructure) - Easier realisation of larger construction projects in the inner city area with lower generation of vehicle demand Städtebauliche Verträge in Graz / Urban development contracts in Graz Qualitative urban (neighbourhood) development with added value for all stakeholders: urban development contracts are modern instruments in the development of cities and neighbourhoods. As one of the pioneers in this field, the City of Graz also increasingly favours this form of quality assurance. Urban development contracts are a contractual form of regulation between the City of Graz and landowners, which enables flexible control of urban (sub)development in the interests of the common interests while at the same time relieving the public authorities. The contracts make property-related stipulations in accordance with urban planning requirements (e.g. urban development concept, development concept, framework plan, zoning plan) and the specialist planning requirements in particular infrastructure, development, design and mobility. This is intended to infrastructure, services of general interest, building land quality and settlement development required for the (parts of the) city.
        B1P001: PED/PED relevant concept definition
        B1P001: PED/PED relevant concept definitionThe biggest impact is the demonstration of several new energy solutions for local communities. Statsbygg/Campus Evenstad contributes to the development of innovations, pushing technological development through purchasing and demonstration of the solutions. This is a benefit for both end users, energy service providers and society at large. Evenstad also contribute to developing the local business community. For example, local biomass chip production for CHP, development of V2G-software etc. Several key solutions have been important when aiming to achieve the goals of reduced emissions, increased self-sufficiency in energy, and an energy-flexible campus. Example Vehicle-to-grid (V2G): We realized bidirectional EV charging at Campus Evenstad in 2019, demonstrating V2G for the first time in Norway. The experiences from Evenstad provide increased knowledge and practical experience from purchasing, installing and operating the V2G solution, and can contribute to creating new solutions within the energy system. With the equipment installed, the batteries in EVs can supply power back to buildings or the power grid. Example solar cells (PV): We installed PV in 2013 when there were only a few grid-connected PV systems in Norway. The PV system was an important piece in changing the view on solar energy in Norway, where businesses, the public sector and private individuals started seeing the potential for solar energy also this far north. In 2022, the PV system was expanded with PV cells on the facade of the energy center. Example Solar collector system: Covers 100m2 of the roof surface of dormitories and supplies supplies 117 dormitories with all the hot water they need (4000m2 floor area. The solar collector system is connected to the district heating system, where the main heat source is bioenergy. Solar energy and bioenergy complement each other at different times of the year. Example battery bank: Among the 5 largest electrical batteries in Norway connected to the grid. Example CHP: First of its kind in Norway, generating heat and electricity from biomass. Already in 2010, fossil fuels were phased out by converting from oil to wood-chip heating.The Cascais Smart Pole (CSP) is a relevant PED case study as it is a district-level project with high level of aspiration in terms of energy efficiency, energy flexibility and energy production. It employs core PED principles—energy production, efficiency, and sustainability—by integrating renewable energy, efficiency measures, community engagement, smart technologies, and scalable and replicable practices. Its outcomes align with the PED vision by fostering renewable energy, establishing Renewable Energy Communities, aiming for energy surplus, enhancing quality of life, and reducing environmental impacts.Reininghaus addresses some relevant key aspects listed in the JPI UE PED Framework Definition such as: - high level of aspiration in terms of energy efficiency, energy flexibility and energy production; - integration of different systems and infrastructures; - inclusion of aspects not only related to energy sector, but also connected with social, economic and environmental sustainability.The Rymdgatan's Residential Portfolio in Sweden presents a compelling case study for its classification as a PED-related research, given its alignment with sustainable behaviours and overarching PED development principles as follows: Inclusivity and Social Equity: The residential portfolio situated in Rymdgatan caters primarily to a low-income community. By focusing on this demographic, the project addresses critical aspects of social equity within sustainable urban development. Ensuring access to energy-efficient housing and amenities for economically disadvantaged populations not only fosters social cohesion but also mitigates energy poverty, a pressing concern in many urban contexts. Multifamily Residential Building: The inclusion of multifamily residential buildings within the portfolio underscores a commitment to density and efficient land use, both essential components of sustainable urban design. Such developments promote resource optimisation by consolidating housing units, thereby reducing per capita energy consumption and infrastructure demands. Moreover, multifamily dwellings often facilitate community engagement and shared resource management, fostering a culture of sustainability among residents. Low Carbon Retrofitting and Transition: The overarching initiative to transition the entire Jakobsgårdarna district. The included Rymdgatan portfolio, towards low carbon retrofitting, represents a significant example of decarbonization and climate resilience. By integrating energy-efficient technologies and renewable energy solutions into existing infrastructure, the project not only reduces carbon emissions but also serves as a blueprint for revitalising old urban environments sustainably. This holistic approach to retrofitting demonstrates a systemic commitment to environmental stewardship and long-term sustainability. Climate Adaptation and Renewable Energy Integration: Despite Sweden's climatic challenges, including lower solar resources during winter months, the Rymdgatan project leverages its geographical context to optimize renewable energy utilization. Sweden's greater solar resource availability during summer and geothermal potentials complement the design's emphasis on seasonal energy planning, where surplus energy generated during peak periods can be stored or redistributed efficiently. By embracing climate-responsive design strategies, the project demonstrates resilience in the face of climate variability while harnessing renewable energy potential effectively.
        B1P002: Motivation behind PED/PED relevant project development
        B1P002: Motivation behind PED/PED relevant project developmentIn line with the EU's vision of "local energy communities", Campus Evenstad demonstrates energy actions that contribute to the clean energy transition. The campus has been developed over several years, demonstrating several innovative and sustainable technologies and energy solutions in a microgrid, e.g. vehicle to grid (V2G), biomass-based combined heat and power (CHP), solar energy, energy storage and zero emission buildings. It shows how to use new technology to enable zero emissions areas. Dedicated professionals, both Statsbygg's operating staff and researchers from FME ZEN have been central to the realization, together with dedicated management at the University campus, who have shown a great willingness to implement new solutions.CSP aims to serve as a living lab that demonstrates innovative solutions for achieving carbon neutrality and addressing climate change. Living Lab not only reduces carbon emissions but also creates a blueprint for replicable and scalable solutions, addressing the urgent need for climate action while improving quality of life, enabling energy efficiency, renewable energy production, energy sharing through REC (to be established), and aligning with global decarbonization goals.The Reininghausgründe is a new quarter near the centre of the City of Graz. On the area of a former brewery, close to more, still working industries, a new town centre is being established. The quarter will include living areas, workplaces, shops, schools and a park, so that the need for individual mobility is minimized. It is connected to the historical city centre by bike paths, busses and a tram. Car sharing is provided as well.Borlänge city has committed to become the carbon-neutral city by 2030.
