Energy Efficient Communities: Case Studies and Strategic Guidance for Urban Decision Makers (IEA ECBCS Annex 51)

Publications / Résultats (Anglais)

This project, who’s aim is to promote Swiss advances in sustainable urban planning and design and associated modelling support tools, started on the 1st October 2009. During the past year of this four year project we have: (i) documented an existing ‘sustainable community’ case study project in Neuchâtel, (ii) contributed preliminary documentation concerning the case study cities of Lausanne and Zürich, (iii) begun the preparation of a section of the Annex Guidebook concerned with urban modelling. Work in 2011 will build upon this progress by further completing the case study descriptions and the guidebook section on urban modelling.

Rapport final (Anglais)

The goal of IEA ECBCS Annex 51 Energy Efficient Communities: Case Studies and Strategic Guidance for Urban Decision Makers is to promote the design of long-term energy conservation and greenhouse gases (GHG) mitigation strategies, as well as their continuous optimization at the communities and/or municipality districts level. The audience addressed by IEA Annex 51 included urban planners and stakeholders taking care of financial investments in cities (construction and renovation of buildings, infrastructures and commercials estates), as well local administrations. Forty-three international experts, issued from twelve countries of Europe, North America and Asia collaborated for that purpose in a worldwide research network. The Swiss contributions to IEA ECBCS Annex 51 were mainly built around the participation of the Solar Energy and Building Physics Laboratory (LESO-PB) of Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), essentially focused on SubTasks A and D. A restricted participation was planned for the other SubTasks due to the limitation of available funding. The major part of the knowledge transfer and dissemination to the target group was achieved through the publication of a GuideBook to a Successful Urban Energy Planning.
