About the Event
As cities continue to grow and face energy challenges, developing Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) can be a promising solution in the global effort to combat climate change and achieve a low-carbon society.
The PED symposium opens a discussion on the importance and complexity of the energy transition and aims to increase attention and interest to the topic of developing Positive Energy Districts in research and beyond.
