The ongoing EU Horizon 2020 programme funded oPEN Lab project revitalises urban areas across Europe and is leading the transition of Positive Energy Neighbourhoods (PEN). Through activities in three open innovation living labs in Genk (Belgium), Pamplona (Spain) and Tartu (Estonia), oPEN Lab identifies commercially viable solutions to achieve positive energy urban environments, in line with the EU’s aim of being climate-neutral by 2050. The project promotes sustainable design tailored to neighbourhoods, seamless industrial renovation workflows, renewable energy generation combined with energy storage, urban service facilities, smart operation and life cycle thinking. The ultimate aim is to roll out a holistic and positive energy vision for neighbourhoods across Europe.
