| Project description |
The Marie-Curie Research Training Network (RTN) CITYNET
generally aims to develop tools to improve the energy
management of large scale urban projects. The common scope of
the network research activities is to establish an innovative
internet based online tool for planning, managing and operating
urban quarters with low energy consumption and high renewable
energy fraction in order to reduce up to 30% of state of the
art quarters CO2-emissions. A major research focus of the
network will be the analysis, optimization, standardization and
benchmarking of existing and planned buildings and energy
efficient power plants (demand and supply side) of three urban
planning sites and the implementation of the results into an
intelligent energy management system. This system will provide
internet online monitoring, simulation and visualization using
Geographical Information System (GIS) software as the front
end. CITYNET will consist of eight university research groups
from six different European member countries and Turkey as an
associated candidate-country and additionally involves seven
commercial enterprises as well as community authorities as
hosts for visits. The research will be carried out in civil,
mechanical and environmental engineering as well as
architecture, building physics, social science, computer
science and economy. Within the network activities, ten
PhDpositions will be offered. |
