Content Description

The Federal Ministry of Transport, Innovation and Technology (BMVIT) is pursuing the mission of "City of the Future" to enable the implementation of plus-energy neighborhoods through the research and development of urban technologies, technological systems and services as well as digitalisation.

The booklet serves as a guide when it comes to identifying ways for plus-energy neighbourhoods. The focus is on innovative technologies and concepts for energy generation, distribution, conversion and storage, but also on the optimization of consumption in buildings or building associations as well as technologies and efficiency in new construction and renovation.

A plus energy district (PED) or neighbourhood ...

aims for a positive annual energy balance
uses renewable energy, sector coupling and energy flexibility
is network compatible, improves grid operation and makes an essential contribution to the renewable energy system
includes several buildings and uses synergies of mixed uses
strives for the highest possible building quality for new construction and renovation
achieves a high level of energy direct-use or power grid injection
uses sustainable business models for buildings, energy efficiency and renewable energy production and usage
