(AVLYST) Sustainable positive energy neighbourhoods and districts – From barriers to enablers The workshop will present examples and discuss challenges and solutions related to three themes from sustainable urban development. A summary that addresses the question, what are the main challenges and enablers of PEDs? will be written after the workshop based on the discussions.… Read more »
WELCOME TO THE ZEN RESEARCH CENTRE
We will enable the transition to a low carbon society by developing sustainable neighbourhoods with zero greenhouse gas emissions.
We are convinced that our future cities and communities should ensure optimal energy use and be good places for people to live and work in.

What is a zero emission neighbourhood?
The ZEN Research Centre, together with its partners, has set out to create zero emission neighbourhoods (ZEN).
A zero emission neighbourhood aims to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions towards zero within its life cycle.

OUR PILOT PROJECTS
The ZEN Research Centre has 9 pilot projects spread all over Norway
The ZEN pilot projects serve as innovation hubs where our researchers, together with building professionals, property developers, municipalities, energy companies, and building owners and users, test new solutions for the construction, operation, and use of neighbourhoods in order to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions to zero on a neighbourhood scale.

RESEARCH
Our Research
The ZEN Research Centre’s research is highly multi-disciplinary.
We have organized our research activities in 6 work packages:
- Work package 1: Analytical framework for the design and planning of zero emission neighbourhoods (ZEN)
- Work package 2: Policy measures, innovation and business models
- Work package 3: Responsive and energy efficient buildings
- Work package 4: Energy flexible neighbourhoods
- Work package 5: Local energy system optimization within a larger system
- Work package 6: Pilot projects and living labs
OUR PARTNERS
The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) is the host and leads the Centre together with SINTEF Building and Infrastructure and SINTEF Energy.

📢 ZEN-konferansen den 12. mars avlyses! Årsaken er en innstramming av retningslinjene for konferanser og risikovurdering av #corona smitte. Vi vil vurdere om konferansen skal arrangeres senere. Vi holder dere oppdatert rundt en eventuell ny dato! 🌱 https://www.adressa.no/pluss/nyheter/2020/03/09/Alle-vi-snakker-med-ser-helst-at-vi-avlyser-21301511.ece?
Involvering av innbyggere og brukere er avgjørende for å skape et attraktivt nullutslippsområde! 👩👲👴👦🧒 Daniela Baer (SINTEF) har forsket på det og skrevet blogginnlegg: https://blogg.sintef.no/sintefbuilding-nb/samarbeid-er-avgjorende-for-a-fa-til-et-nullutslippsomrade/?fbclid=IwAR2gsmAegNY86N_ve_-AU3WwYxJqs9jGVK0XjrJ6EfaDdgF_qJMoWNnTAVQ @plusCities
Hvordan kan vi sammen realisere fremtidens nullutslippsområder? 12. mars arrangeres ZEN-konferansen 2020. Bærum er er partner i @ZENcentre, med Fornebu som pilotområde. https://fmezen.no/zen-konferansen-2020/
Three of our PhD-candidates have their 1st-year hearing today. Important topics to be discussed.
2Det er stort spenn i våre aktiviteter i FME ZEN. I forrige uke arrangerte vi bl.a. møte om CO2-koeffisienter for strøm og holdt presentasjon om nullutslippsområder på Bærekraftuka på Thora Storm VGS. I morgen arrangerer vi møte om Sustainable affordable housing i New Delhi.
