RENAISSANCE
Renewable ENergy Acting In SuStainable And Novel Community Enterprises
The RENAISSANCE project aimed to create sustainable model district in Lyon (France) and Zaragoza (Spain).
The promotion of an innovative district development was carried within the RENAISSANCE project as to energy efficiency and the ratio of renewable energy. In order to facilitate the emergence of green district and to tend, in the long run, towards Post-Carbon Cities, this is necessary to invent new tools and to disseminate them.
The Region of Lombardy (Italy) took part as an observer partner on Research & Development activities.
Research & Development activities as part of RENAISSANCE project exploited the unique opportunity to innovate in terms of energy and urban development policy.
The project was build upon best practice eco-building solutions by researching and applying innovation, addressing all phases of the build process from planning, building design, construction and life time operation. The results will be used as a basis for setting future energy efficiency regulations in the local buildings sector and for onward replication.
The project also undertook research and development work to establish innovative commercial and fiscal mechanisms to underpin the creation of local energy services and thus provide a flexible and sustainable approach to the local provision and distribution of electricity, heating and cooling. Also research aimed to develop an Energy Services Company (ESCO) model based on existing research and feasibility assessments carried out in Zaragoza and Lyon, and models of successful ESCO development drawn from across Europe.
RENAISSANCE gained new understanding regarding community perception of energy efficiency (EE) and renewable energy sources (RES) measures and to improve the measurement of acceptance and adaptation to changes in energy use habits through its research actions.
The RENAISSANCE started in October 2005 and will end in November 2012.
