  In order to achieve climate neutrality in Germany, cities and neighborhoods must also become climate neutral. The European Union is supporting the transformation of districts by demonstrating 100 Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) by 2025. PED-urban is working on the open research questions in the area of PED districts and developing solutions to support the realization of climate-neutral PED districts in Germany. Climate neutrality is particularly difficult to achieve for urban districts with a high energy density and when the local renewable energy potential is not sufficient to meet the demand. This is the focus of the project's investigations by developing a PED definition that takes these framework conditions into account. The planning and development of PED districts requires improved digital planning tools. PED-urban is developing these further and applying them in two demo districts. The transformation of existing neighborhoods with an existing energy infrastructure also poses a particular challenge, as the various professional and private stakeholders in the neighborhood must be won over to the implementation of the transformation roadmap. This must take into account the views and options for action of the property decision-makers, for example, which is why their willingness to change their energy supply is examined in social science studies. The regulatory environment plays a decisive role in the possible business models; in particular, the energy communities that have been agreed within the framework of EU directives will play an important role for district solutions in the future. Their influence is therefore being investigated in the project. The development of PED districts is being promoted worldwide, and PED-urban supports the international exchange of research results in the IEA-EBC Annex 83 on PEDs.

  The assessment framwork for PEDs which is developed in ped urban can be used german wide to assess districts for their ped compability and help them to become climate neutral as well as to reach other goals within the ped framework.
