Developing Positive Energy Districts in Europe: National Strengths and Weaknesses

As part of Housing Europe’s work for syn.ikia project on Sustainable Plus Energy Neighbourhoods, we are gathering a complete overview  of the current state of the existing legislation on PEDs/ZEDs in four different countries in Europe (Norway, Spain, Austria and the Netherlands) to validate their functionality.

Focus of the discussion
  • What is the existing policy framework in your country in the areas of district approach, energy efficiency, renewable energy, digital technology and affordable living, health and wellbeing?
  • Does it facilitate or prevent the development of PEDs/ZEDs?
