Sesonglagring for varme som et tiltak for redusert effektbehov. Bruk av overskuddsvarme sammen med fjernvarme for å dekke oppvarmingsbehov i områder er et viktig tiltak for å frigjøre kapasitet i strømnettet til elektrifisering av transport og andre sektorer som krever strøm for å oppnå...
This document outlines the definition, key performance indicators (KPI) and assessment criteria for the Research Centre on Zero Emission Neighbourhoods in Smart Cities (ZEN Research Centre). This third version of the ZEN definition builds upon previous versions of the ZEN definition. The GHG...
Spread and growth of zero emission neighbourhoods. This report describes the development of zero emission neighbourhoods and its drivers and barriers towards further development. The Norwegian context is used as a starting point, and the main focus is on technological, market related and societal...
Living labs er brukersentrerte tiltak som har mål om å involvere ulike individer eller brukergrupper i tekniske eller bærekraftig endringer i samfunnet. The FME Research Centre on Zero Emission Neighbourhoods in Smart Cities (ZEN) har valgt living labs som et format til å organisere og sikre...
This report on the pilot projects of the Research Centre on Zero Emission Neighbourhoods in Smart Cities (ZEN Centre) will give the reader an overview of eight pilot projects of the Centre, focusing on the challenges to develop or transform the pilot areas into Zero Emission Neighbourhoods. The...
This report is a part of Work Package 3 Responsive and Energy Efficient buildings. The goal for WP 3 is to create cost effective, responsive, resource and energy efficient buildings by developing low carbon technologies and construction systems based on lifecycle design strategies. As...
People play a key role in zero emission neighbourhoods. They are the ones designing and creating the neighbourhood, transforming and building it and finally using it when living and working there. People play different roles in that process – such as project owners, architects, construction workers...
Denne rapporten beskriver definisjonen, nøkkelindikatorer og vurderingskriterier som benyttes i forskningssenteret for nullutslippsområde i smarte byer (ZEN-senteret). Denne andre utgaven av ZENdefinisjonen bygger på versjon v.1.0 av ZEN-definisjonen (1). ZEN-kategoriene klimagassutslipp, energi og...
The objective of this report is to provide a guideline for how the assessment criteria and key performance indicators (KPIs) covered under each category of the ZEN definition (GHG emissions, energy, power/load, mobility, economy and spatial qualities) may be assessed and followed up in ZEN pilot...
The development of the definition, assessment criteria and key performance indicators of Zero Emission Neighbourhoods (ZEN), is an ongoing process that will last throughout the program period of FME ZEN. This work will enable an assessment of the performance of the ZEN pilot areas. Based on the...
ZEN report no. 24...
The focus on performance robustness has become paramount in the context of buildings and neighbourhoods, where uncertainties from variables like occupancy and weather scenarios significantly impact their performance. Selecting a building/neighbourhood design that excels in both performance and...
The IEA HPT Annex 49 "Design and integration of heat pumps for Nearly Zero Energy Buildings" deals with the design and integration of heat pumps as core component of the HVAC system for Nearly or Net Zero energy buildings (NZEB). The IEA HPT Annex 49 has been structured into four tasks which...
