MAKING PEDs is creating a broad variety of project results, providing experts, researchers and urban decision-makers with valuable knowhow for Digital Twins and PED development.
Final Report on Scientific Dissemination and Academic Contributions Released
Transferring technical Positive Energy District (PED) knowledge to the research community, this report indexes the consortium's peer-reviewed papers, conference proceedings, presentations, and training workshops.
Project Outreach and Communication Final Report Released
This report details the outcomes of the project's communication and outreach strategies. It outlines the specific media channels, visual identity guidelines, and public engagement metrics achieved to maximize the visibility and impact of Positive Energy District (PED) solutions.
Computation Models Released for Predicting Neighborhood Energy Performance
This report presents the specific calculation modules developed to evaluate energy demand, solar potential, and mobility patterns within neighborhoods. It outlines how these mathematical models process local data to simulate urban performance and guide Positive Energy District (PED) planning.
Workflows for 3D City Model Creation Released for Urban Digital Twins
This document presents concrete workflows used to generate 3D city models for existing and new neighborhoods. It outlines the steps for organizing, harmonizing, and validating local datasets to integrate them into urban digital twin platforms.
Decision Support System Released for Collaborative Urban Energy Planning
This report details the final open-access Decision Support System (DSS). Using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), it combines Digital Twin data with stakeholder priorities to help cities evaluate and plan Positive Energy District (PED) scenarios.
Lessons Learned and Guidelines for Replication
Lessons learned from 30 months of co-creative decision-making and stakeholder engagement in the Making PEDs project, across four Urban Living Labs, with guidelines for replication in other urban contexts.
