ECODISTR-ICT Integrated decision support tool for retrofit and renewal towards sustainable districts
ECODISTR-ICT will develop an innovative decision support tool to assist district renovation planning, integrating the needs of different stakeholders: inhabitants, local authorities and business investors. The tool will give the opportunity to select stakeholders’ highest priorities and report building renovation scenarios. The tool will specifically assess related costs & benefits, as well as environmental & social impacts at a district level. Although energy efficiency is a major focus, the software environment will include as many aspects as possible in its modular platform structure.

EEPOS Energy management and decision support systems for energy positive neighbourhoods
We are developing a new system for energy management and automated load control on the neighbourhood level, the EEPOS Neighbourhood Energy Management System. With the new system, we aim to achieve the following goals by automated shifting of controllable electrical loads and active end-user envolvement in energy management processes:
• Matching of local electricity generation and consumption
• Congestion management in local electricity grids
• Increase of energy efficiency

EFFESUS Energy efficiency for EU historic districts’ sustainability
EFFESUS is a research project investigating the energy efficiency of European historic urban districts and developing technologies and systems for its improvement. The term “historic urban district” in the context of EFFESUS, is defined as a significant grouping of “old” buildings built before 1945 and representative of the period of their construction or history, not necessarily protected by heritage legislation. EFFESUS is funded by the European Commission under its Seventh Framework Programme.

ELISSA Energy-efficient lightweight- sustainable-safe-steel construction
ELISSA targets the development, testing, assessment and demonstration of nano- enhanced lightweight steel skeleton/ dry wall systems with improved thermal, vibration/seismic and fire performance, due to the inherent damping and fire spread prevention properties of carefully preselectedinorganic nanomaterials (aerogels, VIPs, MMTs, CNT) and MEMS. Their implementation,achieved via the development of industrially friendly application methods, will yield new multifunctionalprefabricated elements with improved thermal properties that will be structurally tested andoptimized as load bearing elements, capable of sustaining from weak vibrations up to medium andsevere earthquakes.

EPIC-HUB Energy positive neighbourhoods infrastructure middleware based on Energy Hub concept
The focus of EPIC-HUB project is combining the Energy-Hub approach with the development of a fully-interoperable Middleware solution. Such approach will allow Facility and Neighbourhood Managers to tackle energy efficiency, self-generation, emissions reduction, and exploit the excess energy generated and the unused / unshared storage potential often available at the neighbourhood community level.

FASUDIR Friendly and affordable sustainable urban districts retrofitting
The FASUDIR project was born to develop new business models and financial supporting tools, to support the necessary building-retrofitting market mobilization in Europe to fulfill EU-targets in 2020 and 2050. The key instrument will be the Integrated Decision Support Tool (IDST), developed to help decision makers to select the best energy retrofitting strategy to increase the sustainability of the whole district. With stakeholder feedback loops, training, and validation in three diverse urban areas, the IDST will ensure robustness and applicability in the entire value chain.
