Buildings and districts

Buildings & districts

Communities and cities play a key role in the energy transition. A large share of energy consumption takes place in urban areas, making cities a major focus for decarbonisation efforts. As a result, new buildings, renovation projects and even entire districts must meet increasingly ambitious energy performance standards.  

Supporting the Transition to Sustainable Cities 

At EnergyVille, we develop knowledge and solutions that support the transition to an energy-efficient, low-carbon and sustainable urban environment. We work closely with the European Commission, regional and local governments, and industry to help achieve their energy and climate ambitions. 

From Technology to Decision Support 

Our research generates new technological insights, tools and assessment methods that support the design, evaluation and optimisation of urban energy systems. In addition, we support the development and validation of new business models for the different stakeholders involved across the value chain. By combining technology, data and market insights, we help accelerate the transition towards more sustainable buildings, districts and cities.
