Positive energy districts: Mainstreaming energy transition in urban areas
Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2022 Abstract The concept of Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) has emerged to facilitate the energy transition and contribute to climate neutrality through energy efficiency and net zero energy balance. There are several similar concepts with a common goal that a building, neighborhood, or district can meet its energy demands from low-cost, locally ...
