| Project description |
POLYCITY (Energy networks in sustainable cities), which is
coordinated by zafh.net, is an EU-project that is supported
with about 8 million Euro. This project encompasses three large
urban development areas in Turin (Italy), Ostfildern (near
Stuttgart, Germany) and Cerdanyola del Vallès (near Barcelona,
Spain). In these cities exemplary sustainable residential and
commercial districts are to be completed by 2010. The goals of
the project are to increase the portion of the supply energy
that stems from renewable sources (biomass, geothermal, PV),
optimize the energy efficiency of the buildings, the
cogeneration, solar cooling and innovative communal energy
management systems in order to optimize the supply and
consumption. Large city planning areas were selected so as to
create the largest impact possible: the Arquata district in
Turin encompasses 87,000 m², the project in Ostfildern, 178,000
m², and in Cerdanyola more than 2 million square meters of
residential and industrial areas as well as a science park are
being built. |
