SINTEF researcher Øystein Rønneseth will talk about heating devices.
Join us in the ZEN lunch room or on Skype!
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.

HIGHLY
MULTI-DISCIPLINARY
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.

Vår styreleder skriver at Fremtidens bygg er festens midtpunkt

ZENs forskere har lenge jobbet med en ZEN definisjon - Marianne Kjendseth Wiik blogger om definisjonen i Bærekraftbloggen til @SustainNTNU #nullutslippsområder #bærekraft #klimamål #energieffektivitet https://t.co/UmSznhZsT5
Da er vi i gang med en ny runde med PhD-kurset AAR8330 nullutslippsområder. Forskningslederne presenterer ulike perspektiver på hvordan nullutslippsområder kan bidra til lavutslippssamfunnet. Studentene har gode spørsmål og kommentarer.
2FME ZEN koorinerer arbeidet videre i 2019. Utveksling av kunnskap og bygging av kompetanse på tvers av FMEene og økt synlighet vil være viktige komponenter i dette arbeidet.
Today we presented some of our Zero Emission Neighbourhood research @SDGbergen and connected it to some of the UN Sustaiable Development Goals, https://t.co/iaaTCsNG0L
