The Positive Energy District session will aim to develop concrete contributions to emerging energy frameworks through structured discussions across policy, economic, social and technological dimensions. The session is organised under the Driving Urban Transitions Conference 2026 that aims to highlight DUT’s flagship activities and strategic direction towards 2033, as well as concrete results, lessons learned and scalable solutions from DUT-funded projects on urban mobility, energy and circularity.
The JUST PEPP project will be represented by Dr. Luis Ramirez Camargo, Assistant Professor, Copernicus Institute of Sustainable Development at Utrecht University. He will present the interactive dashboard designed to support stakeholders in exploring potential PED development scenarios. The tool aims to enable users to visualise and compare different energy demand scenarios and technology adoption pathways within frontrunner neighbourhoods. Through a combination of spatial mapping, graphical representations of energy demand and supply, and key performance indicators, the dashboard is intended to make complex energy system information more accessible and support informed decision-making, particularly for non-expert stakeholders.
