Discover how cutting-edge digital twin technology is shaping the future of sustainable urban development. In their ERCIM News article, Pavel Kogut from the Digital Resilience Institute, alongside experts Eva Schmitz and Arne Schilling, explores the role of Local Digital Twins (LDTs) in Positive Energy Districts (PEDs). These districts are a cornerstone of the drive toward carbon-neutral cities, generating more energy than they consume.
The authors detail the innovative BIPED project in Aarhus, Denmark, which takes PEDs to the next level by incorporating energy, mobility, social, and environmental data for a holistic and realistic digital representation. This allows urban planners to simulate and optimise strategies for heating, traffic management, and low-emission zones, among other key factors in urban sustainability. The article highlights how multi-dimensional LDTs can address complex challenges, providing the insight needed for well-rounded decision-making.
Dive into this insightful piece to learn how LDTs can accelerate the transition to sustainable cities. Read the full article in this special theme on sustainable cities from ERCIM News.
