Energy Planning and Energy Efficiency in Smart City Areas

Abstract

The main value added of the approach, which is considered in this paper, is the joint development of an innovative concept for energy improvement city's areas, as well as methods and tools for its implementation. A new coordinated approach to energy planning and implementation at the district level within the framework of the concept of smart cities contributes to the efforts of consumers to improve energy efficiency. The research focuses on energy efficiency for existing built-up urban structures. They represent a large part of the built environment of European cities and face significant, often urgent energy challenges.
