| D1P008: Description of project objectives/concepts | |
| D1P008: Description of project objectives/concepts | The ZEN Research Centre develops solutions for future buildings and neighbourhoods with no greenhouse gas emissions and thereby contributes to a low carbon society. In order to achieve its high ambitions, the Centre will, together with its partners: • Develop neighbourhood design and planning instruments while integrating science-based knowledge on greenhouse gas emissions; • Create new business models, roles, and services that address the lack of flexibility towards markets and catalyze the development of innovations for a broader public use; This includes studies of political instruments and market design; • Create cost effective and resource and energy efficient buildings by developing low carbon technologies and construction systems based on lifecycle design strategies; • Develop technologies and solutions for the design and operation of energy flexible neighbourhoods; • Develop a decision-support tool for optimizing local energy systems and their interaction with the larger system; • Create and manage a series of neighbourhood-scale living labs, which will act as innovation hubs and a testing ground for the solutions developed in the ZEN Research Centre. |
| D1P009: Description of project upscaling strategies/potential | |
| D1P009: Description of project upscaling strategies/potential | Researchers, municipalities, industry and governmental organizations work together in the ZEN Research Centre in order to plan, develop and run neighbourhoods with zero greenhouse gas emissions. The partner will use their experience and knowledge in new projects. New business models, roles, and services will address the market and development innovations for a broader public use. Spin-off projects from ZEN were generated to further develop the concepts, e.g the HE project Syn.ikia and the Green Deal project ARV - Climate Circular Positive Communities. |

| D1P013: Standardization efforts | A list of indicators is available in the ZEN Definition and ZEN defintion guideline (link posted below). ZEN assesses a variety of KPI`s under the categories GHG emissions, Energy, Power, Urban Form, Economy, and Mobility. There is an ongoing national standardization work considering the ZEN definition. |
