Our overall aim is to demonstrate, through innovative solutions and integrated design of buildings and energy supply systems, that achieving plus energy standards at the neighbourhood scale presents several advantages compared to the single building scale. We will achieve this by unravelling five main strategies:
Sharing of resources such as energy, infrastructure, and common spaces with neighbours.
Facilitating peak shaving through load shifting, control, and storage thus reducing the size of energy supply installations,increasing selfconsumption of renewable energy, and reducing the stress on the grid.
Reducing the neighbourhood net energy consumption by using solutions based on a total life cycle cost analysis.
Ensuring high quality architecture, creating good indoor and outdoor environments, and solutions that make the occupants and the community proud of their neighbourhood.
Benefitting from large-scale effects of the neighbourhood scale to replicate the solutions at European level.
