🌍 TIPS4PED: Empowering Local Communities for Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) 🌍 At TIPS4PED, cities, districts, buildings, and user needs are placed at the heart of the mission, recognising the unique challenges and opportunities each local context presents. To ensure alignment with local stakeholders, they recently established local Focus Groups in Turin, Cork, Kozani, and Budapest’s Kőbánya district. These groups hosted workshops to identify key stakeholders and their priorities, needs, and capabilities in achieving PEDs. The workshops brought together a diverse range of stakeholders from various sectors to address shared challenges and opportunities. Participants provided valuable insights into their communities’ expectations, such as the functionalities most desired for the Integrated Assessment Platform (IAP), a digital tool co-designed to simulate and evaluate PED interventions. These initial workshops confirmed the local needs and challenges, setting the stage for the next steps in the TIPS4PED project. They also revealed underrepresented stakeholders, such as philanthropic organisations, banks, real estate investors, data analysts, and mobility providers, whose involvement will be crucial.
