Districts
District-level planning involves designing and managing urban areas as integrated systems to optimize resource use and minimize emissions. By considering energy, water, waste, and transportation holistically, districts can achieve greater efficiency and sustainability than individual buildings. Strategies include implementing shared renewable energy systems, district heating and cooling networks, and sustainable mobility solutions. District-scale approaches enable economies of scale, enhance resilience, and facilitate the achievement of ZEB goals across broader urban landscapes.
