ExPEDite’s approach is to develop and integrate modular components that can be used to analyze and predict a district’s energy performance under various what-if scenarios. These components form a district Digital Twin, enabling not only a visualization of the built environment, but also real time information on energy flows and spatiotemporal optimization of the district’s energy needs. This tool allows for district planning actions to be designed, analyzed and compared, leading to evidence-based decision making.
ExPEDite’s vision will be achieved by considering the four components that contribute to PEDs:
-Building stock energy efficiency;
-Renewable energy sources (RES);
-Energy flexibility;
-E-mobility & sustainable transport.

The project will culminate in the publication of practical guidelines, reusable models, algorithms, and training materials to aid other cities to replicate the digital twin for their districts, fostering widespread adoption of sustainable energy practices

- Increased number of (tangible) city planning actions for positive clean energy districts using the (proto-)PED design, development and management digital twin tools (based on pre-market research learnings) using open-standards based components which can be reused elsewhere.
- Increased integration of existing smaller scale management systems (e.g. Building management systems) with open-standards based operational city platforms using sectorial data (e.g. building data, mobility, urban planning, etc.).
- Enhanced data gathering approaches with identification of relevant multidimensional data sets (e.g. meteorological, load profile, social, geo-spatial, etc.) high-resolution real-time data streams (e.g. renewable energy production, energy consumption), and relevant forecasting data, drawing also on the work of common European data spaces.
- Increased number of city planning departments / approaches using common data and (replicable) elements and processes.
- Consolidated city sensor network specifications, complemented by appropriate data gathering approaches for soft data.
- Improved performance of AI based self-learning systems for optimization of positive clean energy districts and bottom-up complex models.
- Enhanced innovation capacity of local/regional administrations and accelerated uptake of shared, smart and sustainable zero emission solutions.

The Digital Twin’s architecture will comply with open technical specifications that allow cities and communities, regardless of their size of capacity, to replicate and scale solutions globally. This will be achieved by following the Minimum Interoperability Mechanisms (MIMs), which comprise a set
of practical capabilities that provide the technical foundation for procurement and deployment of urban data platforms and end-to-end solutions in cities and communities worldwide. By implementing MIMs, cities increase the speed and openness of innovation and development, whilst decreasing cost. By basing the mechanisms on an inclusive list of baselines and references, they can take account of the different backgrounds of cities and communities and allow cities to achieve interoperability based on a minimal common ground. By enabling interoperability between existing infrastructures and new specific components supporting PED implementation and management, the application of the MIMs facilitates the adoption
and the extension of all the technical deliverables and a better understanding of the requirements and of the features of the solution. Implementation can be different, as long as crucial interoperability points in any given technical architecture use the same interoperability mechanisms. The MIMs are vendor neutral and technology agnostic, enabling anybody to use them and integrate them in existing systems and offerings, complementing existing standards and technologies. The interoperability points assure the replicability of the solutions built on top of an open city platform, as these are decoupled from the specific technological implementation and deployment of the architectural components.
The project's impact will be extended by addressing standardization in two respects. First, it will liaise the
project plans and outcomes with the relevant standardization institutions. These activities will be in line with the CEN-CENELEC Adaptation to Climate Change Coordination Group (ACC-CG) that coordinates various
standardization activities and supports Technical Committees (TCs) in revising European infrastructure standards. The project's scope might involve TCs focusing on energy management and efficiency (CEN/CLC/JTC 14 Energy Management, Audits, and Savings, ISO/TC 207/SC7 Greenhouse Gas and Climate Change Management Activities) as well as TCs focusing on urban resilience (ISO/TC 292 Societal and Citizen Security, ISO/TC 268 Sustainable Cities and Communities). Second, the task will map out the standardization landscape in the two aforementioned areas and identify gaps where standardization could support ExPEDite's technological innovation.
