The use of simulation tools in the urban context and connected to 2D or 3D web-based visualization applications which are valuable tools for decision-makers and citizen’s engagement. If we talk about improving the sustainability of the building stock in vulnerable neighbourhoods, innovative social and economic models need to be considered under a global LCA/Climate change perspective having in mind interactions with mobility, circularity and co-creation processes with public authorities and citizens.
The aim of the Making PEDs project is therefore not only to research and plan Climate Neutral PEDs but also to facilitate the transition into practice providing Digital Twins as a means to support decision-making and participatory urban transformation processes. Specifically, as key elements in PEDs, research on assessment frameworks, 3D cityGML-based methods and tools will focus on:
- Holistic assessment towards Climate Neutral PEDs.
- Reliable prediction of potential sustainability and business scenarios on Large-Scale energy retrofitting actions of the building stock.
- Impact of Citizen Energy Communities (CECs).
Developed digital twins and models will be tested and refined while supporting decision-making processes for the regeneration of four districts in Europe aiming to climate neutrality, acting as Urban Living Labs (ULLs), in the cities of Linz (Austria), Civitavecchia-Rome (Italy), Palma (Spain) and Bærum (Norway).
