Co-designing local sustainability strategies for energy resilience and energy poverty mitigation (CORE)
2024 - 2027
| Description | Invited External Advisory Board member for proposed project "Co-designing local sustainability strategies for energy resilience and energy poverty mitigation (CORE)" which has been submitted to the “Driving Urban Transitions (DUT) Call 2023 by the European Commission and co-funded under the Horizon Europe. "The transdisciplinary and co-creative project CORE will develop and test a novel modular open-source decision support tool for district-level building stock decarbonisation. Contrarily to other PED projects, CORE targets building diverse owners to simulate various decarbonisation scenarios of their building stock, encompassing energy efficiency, flexibility and self-consumption for high-impact local sustainability strategies and PED. We will employ three urban living labs as use cases to digitalise the energy demand of various building types and uses, develop multiple decarbonisation strategies, and create digital building blocks for the tool. We will also design, test, and assess policy pathways for the fair redistribution of the local transformation costs and benefits between building owners and the local ecosystem, considering energy security, resilience and energy poverty. We will combine energy systems analysis, economic analysis, data science, visualisation techniques, and will engage stakeholders from the public and private sectors. The developed scalable methods and tools will ensure high replicability and large-scale adoption across Europe. CORE will contribute to bridging the gap between accelerated access to green energy at the building and district level, improved energy justice and better social cohesion, and provide policy recommendations for replication and mainstreaming of the solutions in other local contexts" |
