ZEN pilot projects (Cont. ) The ZEN pilot projects include both new areas as well-established areas that are to be upgraded and developed further. The ZEN pilot projects serve as innovation hubs where the ZEN researchers, together with building professionals, property developers, municipalities, energy companies, building owners, and users, test new solutions for the construction, operation and use of neighbourhoods in order to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions to zero on a neighbourhood scale. 8

What is a zero emission neighbourhood (ZEN)? A zero emission neighbourhood aims to reduce its direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions towards zero within its life cycle. The neighbourhood should focus on the following: Plan, design and operate buildings and associated infrastructure components towards zero life cycle greenhouse gas emissions; Become highly energy efficient and powered by a high share of new renewable energy in the neighbourhood energy supply system; Manage energy flows (within and between buildings) and exchanges with the surrounding energy system in a smart and flexible way; 10

What is a zero emission neighbourhood (ZEN)? (Cont. ) Promote sustainable transport patterns and smart mobility systems; Plan, design and operate with respect to economic sustainability, by minimizing total life cycle costs and life cycle system costs; Plan and locate amenities in the neighbourhood to provide good spatial qualities and stimulate sustainable behavior; The development of the area is characterized by innovative processes based on new forms of cooperation between the involved partners, leading to innovative solutions.
