The Annex83 aimed to enhance the cooperation on PED development to an international level through the collaboration initiatives of the IEA. The main objectives and scope were including
Mapping the relevant city, industry, research, and governmental (local, regional, national) stakeholders and their needs and roles to inform the work.
Creating a shared in-depth framework for the PED concept based on evidence in research and practice.
Developing the needed information and guidance for implementing the necessary technical solutions (on building, district and infrastructure levels) that can be replicated and gradually scaled up to the city level.
Exploring novel technical and service opportunities related to monitoring solutions, big data, data management, smart control and digitalisation technologies as enablers of PEDs.
Developing the needed information and guidance for the planning and implementation of PED’s including both technical planning and urban planning. This includes economic, social and environmental impact assessment for various alternative development paths.
This workshop presents the essential outcomes of this more than 5 years of research and implementation of PEDs. In continuation other PED projects will be gathered to discuss some aspects related to PED.
