The Research Centre on Zero Emission
Neighborhoods in Smart Cities – ZEN

16. 2016SEniCSummerSchool
THE main research question is …
How should the sustainable neighborhoods of the
future be designed, built, transformed and
managed to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions
towards zero?

17. 2016SEniCSummerSchool
The Research Centre on Zero Emission
Neighborhoods in Smart Cities – ZEN
• The Centre will speed up decarbonization of the
building stock (existing and new), use more
renewable energy sources and create positive
synergies among the building stock, energy, ICT
and mobility systems, and citizens.
• The Centre will work with new and existing
neighbourhoods in cities and communities with
different building typologies, infrastructures,
mobility and users.
• Duration: 2016-2023
• This project is a platform to build up new projects
e.g. framed in the EU Horizon 2020 programme or
other suitable programmes.

physical and virtual interfaces between the three
universities and their local support clusters of industry,
city, research and education networks.
• Annual open SiNoPSE symposium
– 2016: SJTU, Shanghai
– 2017: THU, Beijing linked with the IEA Annex 66
– 2018: NTNU, Trondheim; final conference
• SiNoPSE Summer School on Sustainable Energy in
cities
– 2016 summer school at SJTU in Shanghai 18-29 July
– 2017 summer school at THU in Beijing
