Innovations and challenges of the energy transition in smart city districts

Abstract

As living, economic and cultural spaces, cities require a sustainable energy system and must be designed to be highly energy efficient. The book provides a framework for practitioners and scientists on how the energy transition can contribute to achieving climate goals in the building sector. Innovations and creative approaches for solutions from the lighthouse projects of the Solar Building/Energy Efficient City funding initiative are presented. ; As living, economic and cultural spaces, cities require a sustainable energy system and must be designed to be highly energy efficient.
