Residential Renovation towards nearly zero energy CITIES
As a demonstration project, R2CITIES is keen to engage in various communities relevant to its interests. The following is a selection of news from Energy Cities, Smart Cities and Communities, Buildup and Managenergy
Interesting upcoming events selected by the R2CITIES team
Renovations of entire districts, designed to reach near zero energy consumption, need to be replicable if they are to be widely adopted
One of Europe’s flagship initiatives for building and district energy efficiency innovation, CONCERTO, held its final conference on 22 and 23 October in Brussels.
Three cases studies will constitute the basis for developing an easily replicable strategy for renovating districts so that they reach near zero energy consumption
The aim is to achieve a nearly zero energy city. Turkish stakeholders part of a project consortium at the cutting edge of energy efficiency
A project at the cutting edge of energy efficiency in the built and district environment. Coordinator Fundación CARTIF hosts the first meeting in Valladolid with the 16 partners of this project which is co-funded by the EU.

Managing the building’s different energy processes is key to ensure higher energy efficiency and users’ comfort
The three demonstration sites are based in Kartal, a Municipality of the city of Istanbul, Valladolid, Spain and in Genoa, Italy, in different climate regions and each with its set of challenges.
Develop and demonstrate replicable strategies for designing, constructing and managing large scale district renovation projects for achieving nearly zero energy cities
Develop and demonstrate an easily replicable strategy for design, construction and management of large scale district renovation to achieve nearly zero energy cities
R2CITIES proposes several progresses beyond the state of the art, some of them are directly related to technological activities (PV integration at district level, new solar thermal concepts to supply energy, new systemic approach or integrated project delivery tools for district retrofitting) with direct and indirect impacts also covering non-technological topics.
Development and demonstration of innovative, cost-effective, high-performance retrofitting concepts and solutions to boost high quality district renovation and to accelerate market uptake of very energy efficient building stock
The social housing district of Lavatrici was developed during 1980-1990. The pilot is located on the west part of the city in the so called Pegli 3 District on a natural hill.
Genoa is the capital of Liguria and the sixth largest city in Italy, with a population of around 610,000 inhabitants. Considering its metropolitan area, Genoa is one of Europe's largest cities on the Mediterranean Sea and the largest seaport in Italy.
