Community Approach: Background Cities … Cities consume 60 to 80% of energy demand worldwide Buildings … Focus of research in recent years: technological innovation and improvements Communities … Transition - from optimization of building parts via single buildings to optimized solutions for whole neighborhoods and communities, but … Users can not remember more than 7 categories Transformation of the approach from buildings to communities is more than an up-scaling of building solutions

Case Study / City of Salzburg, Austria Main performance criteria Low energy standard for buildings (20/30 kWh/m² and year) Energy efficient pumps and lightning of public areas High rate of renewable energy (> 30% in addition to available district heating system powered by Biomass/Gas CHP and industrial waste heat sources)

Case Study / City of Salzburg, Austria Optimized Energy Concept: 2.000 m² collector field + 50 kWp PV 200 m³ storage tank heat pump 160 kWth Results Specific solar yield: 400 kWh/m².a Solar fraction: > 30% Reduction of Primary energy demand and CO2- emissions: -80% Users can not remember more than 7 categories

Case Study / City of Salzburg, Austria Stakeholder Involvement Signed quality agreement (minimum requirements) Steering group with all signing parties (monthly meetings) Working groups (energy supply, renovation) Information activities  For whole project duration: >10 years Users can not remember more than 7 categories

Annex 63 Implementation of Energy Strategies in Communities Objectives “Give recommendations on procedures for implementation of optimized energy strategies at the scale of communities” Develop recommendations for effective translation of a city´s energy / CO2 goals to the community scale Develop recommendations for optimization of policy instruments for the integration of energy / CO2 goals into common urban planning processes Develop new techniques for stakeholder cooperation along with holistic business models involving a wide range of stakeholders Devise methods for the monitoring and evaluation Involve cities / urban planners in order to integrate energy planning in urban planning procedures Users can not remember more than 7 categories
