Assessing Multiple Benefits of Housing Regeneration and Smart City Development: The European Project SINFONIA

Abstract: The urban energy transition towards more sustainable energy production and consumption systems is at the top of the European Union political agenda. Several demonstration projects are dealing with the deep-energy retrofit of real-estate assets to show how technological and societal innovation can provide new investment opportunities while enhancing citizens’ quality of life by delivering multiple benefits. In this framework, the EU smart city project SINFONIA has developed and tested a new comprehensive framew… Show more

“…MCA can be applied through many approaches for the aggregation of results [103,104]. The mostly used method is the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) [99,105,106], which is based on the paired comparison of the criteria to determine the weighting factors of the criteria; while the PROMETHEE method is used in [107] and the Hermione methodology in [96]. The approaches differ in the definition and ranking of the criteria used to analyze the sustainability of the proposed urban scenarios.…”

“…This would not only provide technically feasible solutions but also economically viable ones [35]. For example, the district energy refurbishment approach, already tested in some EU projects, leans on a set of innovative system integration activities at the district level and is geared to make the targeted district model robustly scalable and replicable and to maximize the multiple benefits creation [36,37]. Moreover, this would solve the grid and building-related emissions issues at a larger level.…”

“…In the global north, retrofitting literature is focusing on how new technology in buildings can create Positive Energy Blocks (ZEB) and Districts (PED) (Bisello, 2020;Verhaeghe et al, 2020;Lindholm et al, 2021). However, these notions are very distant from the needs in the ZMVO and probably other similar mid-size cities in developing countries.…”
