A database for positive energy districts (PED)

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2023
Abstract The development of Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) is a complex process that involves the integration of various technologies, stakeholders, and policies. To facilitate this process, a database for PEDs has been developed as a joint effort of COST Action ‘PED-EU-NET’, IEA EBC Annex 83, and JPI Urban Europe.

SPATIAL DESIGN FOR THE ENERGY TRANSITION

European Journal of Spatial Development
Top-down EU energy policies have led to unintended consequences, with significant impacts on the ground. Much of the responsibility lies in their socio-spatial blindness that views space merely as a support, architecture just as something to equip with ...

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.
