| D1P008: Description of project objectives/concepts | |
| D1P008: Description of project objectives/concepts | The share of new buildings in Europe is estimated to be around 1-2%, so to decarbonise urban areas we need to focus our efforts on existing buildings, but how? The StepWise project will develop a step-by-step, knowledge-based and inclusive process to address technical issues and engage with citizens and other stakeholders. StepWise will facilitate the implementation of innovative strategies for local renewable energy generation, energy flexibility, energy efficiency and sustainable low-carbon mobility that are needed if neighbourhoods are to become carbon-neutral Positive Energy Districts (PEDs). |
| D1P009: Description of project upscaling strategies/potential | |
| D1P009: Description of project upscaling strategies/potential | The upscaling strategies in the PED StepWise project rely on a flexible methodology to replicate and adapt solutions across diverse contexts. A key strength is the heterogeneity of the Living Labs, covering a wide range of use cases that allow for broad application, regardless of geography. The project focuses on integrating the needs and concerns of residents, users, and stakeholders, ensuring that social and economic factors are central to its approach. The step-by-step process, tested in real neighborhoods, ensures scalability while allowing adjustments to local conditions, making the solutions adaptable across different regions. |

| D1P013: Standardization efforts | |
| D1P013: Standardization efforts | The standardization efforts in the PED StepWise project focus on developing a standardized process that supports the long-term energy transition strategy. Recognizing that this transition happens over time, the process will be designed to maintain endurance throughout the transition, ensuring consistent progress. This involves defining indicators, targets, and thresholds that guide the step-by-step implementation while ensuring the right communication and activation strategy for stakeholders. Regular revisions of the standards will ensure they remain relevant and effective in guiding the project towards meeting its decarbonization and Positive Energy District (PED) goals. |
