Subtask D
The COST Action PED-EU-NET, IEA Annex 83 and JPI Urban Europe PED programme organized a joint workshop on PEDs-Database on 8th of March 2022. The goal was to introduce and discuss the structure of the upcoming collaborative PED Database. This database will be based on the collection of a variety of PED experiences by the researchers of the three initiatives. One of the main outputs of the workshop was the difficulty to find representatives of non-European PEDs. Annex83 took over the role of collecting non-European PEDs experiences and fill this gap.

Subtask B
Is planning many activities for the upcoming year. First of all, a workshop on case studies will be held in March 2022 (jointly with other subtasks), in which the concept of different case studies, data availability and, (possibly) the energy system model and assumptions will be presented. The outcome of the workshop will be to develop a series of PED use cases that are representative enough for the Annex 83 and that will be modelled in the next months by Subtask B. In the 23rd of June an Annex 83 energy systems data and modelling course will be organised by Concordia University in Montreal, using the results of the workshops and subtask B colleagues and studies. Furthermore, a session for the Smart and Sustainable Planning for Cities and Regions – SSPCR 2022 will be organised on the topic “Energy systems, Modeling and Control for Positive Energy Districts”.
Subtask C
is organizing a special session at the Smart and Sustainable Planning for cities and regions (SSPCR) conference in Bozen next July. The title of the session is "Towards a sustainability assessment of Positive Energy Districts: methodologies, case studies and applications". The topics of the session will include - among the others - Positive Energy Districts modelling and simulation aimed at decarbonization, analyses of good practices to achieve sustainability objectives, sustainability assessment frameworks and key performance indicators, sustainability assessment methodologies with a focus on environmental, economic and social impacts.
Subtask D
After completing the scoping phase of Subtask D1, the framework for data collection is being carried out in collaboration with the COST Action (CA19126 – Positive Energy Districts European Network) and JPI Urban Europe. The original template elaborated out of the specific requests of Subtasks A, B and C, has been merged with the COST Action and JPI Urban Europe data collection plans, and the resulting on-line form will be ready by mid-January of next year. The final version of this form will be presented to the Subtask A, B and C leaders to get their final approval and start the data collection phase.
New section on website
We created a new section on our website dedicated to multimedia https://annex83.ieaebc.org/videos. It is a place where we want to upload input from meetings and other events organised by subtasks. Therefore, we encourage you to share with us interesting content that may be of interest to other participants.

Announcement of a workshop organised by Concordia University
Library workshop for Urban Platform: Use of data libraries and catalogue concepts for energy systems, occupancy, green roofs and other urban domains
Time: Monday, July 12, 2021, 9 to 11 AM EST
Workshop presenter: Kai Brassel, Hamburg/Germany
Participation link: https://concordia-ca.zoom.us/j/3850961259
The goal of the workshop is to understand data modelling for urban scale applications and to implement such data models in catalogues. These catalogues could be a basis to share information with country specific performance and/or cost data.
Background reading: Kai Brassel shared a tutorial that he wrote especially for domain experts: Kai (Guest): How to Create Parameter Catalogs for Simulations (posted in CERC NextGenCities Platform / Parameter Catalogs at 20. April 2021 19:30:35 MESZ).
NOTE: if you don’t have access to Concordia Teams, you can find it here as well: https://transfer.hft-stuttgart.de/pages/neqmodplus/parameter-catalogs-for-simulation/.
The document gives some „historic“ context - IT and project wise - in chapter one. Second chapter, then, explains step-by-step how to practically start with data-modelling. Again, not all technicalities may be important for the first read, but at least you should digest, and ideally exercise, the chapter „How to Implement Parameter Catalogs with Eclipse“. In there you find further references on data modelling, and especially you should carefully look at the 18 slides about Object Oriented Modelling and Domain Models by Steve Easterbrook (University of Toronto, http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~sme/CSC340F/slides/11-objects.pdf).
