Come in! We are opening our

workroom to collaborate on

societal issues that no one

can solve on their own within

their discipline or field.

The energy transition in existing neighbourhoods is one such

issue: engineers are developing smart systems, local authorities

are drawing up heat plans and urban renewal projects,

economists are drafting a tax shift, sociocultural organizations

are listening to what vulnerable families need, and developers

are putting together a housing and energy offer. But if their

efforts aren’t brought together in a single logic, each of these

will fail. That is what is happening today: between plans and

their execution lies a yawning implementation gap. And that

gap is one we can only bridge if we design new connections

together, from the middle ground between different disciplines

and actors. That is one of the greatest creative tasks of our time.

That is what this workroom is for.

In OPERATION ENERGY NEIGHBOURHOODS, we stand on

the shoulders of international comparative research projects

and many local experiments in Flanders, Brussels and beyond.

These test various approaches to the energy transition of our

existing neighbourhoods. This exhibition charts their ongoing

work and formulates, on this basis, seven simultaneous action

fronts for ‘Energy Neighbourhoods’. Together they form an

implementation framework connecting technical advances with

social, legal, financial and policy breakthroughs.

But this action agenda isn’t finished. Pick up a booklet and grab

a pen! Based on your amendments and additions, we will rewrite

the agenda at the end of February. We will then present it as a

shared proposal to politicians, to different sectors, to citizens. It

is time for a shared initiative from the middle ground.

Time for an operation!

We face a huge task to reduce

and other greenhouse gas

emissions to zero. The (existing)

important role in this.

The current renovation approach,

is too slow. At the same time,

Several local heat sources can be connected together on

a neighbourhood scale in a single system. As a result, the

most efficient source is tapped at any time. Heat and cold

demands can balance each other out. And in a collective

system, less buffer capacity is needed per customer, so

less heat is lost. But electricity can also be exchanged

and stored locally, which means less energy has to pass

through the regional grid.

The hydraulic diagram shows heat

production at De Schipjes in Bruges

(BE), where a combination of a

borehole, solar thermal panels and airwater

heat pumps is used to achieve

an optimal energy balance.

A single collective investment is more interesting than

a series of small individual ones. It makes it possible to

invest in systems with a longer lifespan. These cost more

up front, but are cheaper in the long run. Moreover,

measures can be carried out in a bundled way, such as

a heat network, sewer replacement and climate-robust

street reconstruction; as a result, costs for opening up

the street or administrative charges, for instance, only

have to be incurred once.

In Leiden (NL), the cycles by which

various investments are made in the

public space are aligned, allowing the

works to take place simultaneously and

enabling cost saving of 30%.


A neighbourhood approach

is more inclusive.

Whether in an apartment building, street, city block or

neighbourhood, neighbours with all kinds of backgrounds

and desires live together. Some are tenants, others don’t

have the time or resources to take steps in the energy

transition themselves, or don’t have the space for solar

panels or a heat pump. Within a collective approach,

we can focus on involving these people, both through

targeted support and by connecting them to collective

energy systems.

The map identifies the buildings in the

Northern Quarter of Brussels (BE) with

high energy consumption, high heat

loss and high risk of energy poverty.

A neighbourhood like this requires an

inclusive, collective approach.


A neighbourhood approach

enables customization and

integration.

The neighbourhood is more than the sum of bricks, insulation

materials, energy systems and other infrastructures.

It is a living environment and a living community with specific

characteristics, challenges and ambitions. Contrary

to generic rules and incentives, a collective approach on

a neighbourhood scale allows for customization. Thus,

investments in the energy and climate transition become

a lever for the wider future project of and for the neighbourhood,

building on specific features, social networks

and dynamics.

In Bospolder-Tussendijken (BoTu)

in Rotterdam (NL), the potential for local

heat sources is aligned with the existing

social networks. Both are building

blocks of the integrated future project

BoTu 2018–2028.


A growing number of

energy neighbourhood

tests...

This map shows the growing number of ‘Energy

Neighbourhoods’ in our Eurodelta. Network

organizations, knowledge centres and advisory bodies

are advocating collective, place-based solutions. Local

authorities, developers and citizen cooperatives are

trying out pieces of it in practice. They aren’t exploring

this integrated and collective approach on the basis

of an ideological standpoint. Rather, it is a matter of

pragmatism and necessity: to fit all investments within a

limited space and tight budgets, and to get everyone on

board. A movement is getting under way!

Renovatiebeleid in België;

weinig impact en (te)

veel ‘free riders’

Uit Europees onderzoek blijkt dat 65% van de renovatiesubsidies terecht

komt bij de hogere inkomens die ook zonder de subsidies gerenoveerd zouden

hebben;

Een grondige evaluatie van het renovatiebeleid dringt zich op;

Hierbij moet ook de vraag gesteld worden in welke mate de renovatiesubsidies

kunnen leiden tot hogere marktprijzen voor inefficiënte woningen.

Time

for an

operation!


This movement will only have an impact if we make the change

on all fronts simultaneously: policy, financing, social work,

technical innovation and legal frameworks must fit together

within a coherent systems approach. If not, the business case

will always be unfavourable in one way or another, homeowners

won’t be ready at the right time, and governments and private

entrepreneurs will keep waiting for each other.

Time is running out! The longer we delay a systemic solution, the

more lock-ins there will be. Today there is a certain momentum:

the revised European Energy Performance of Buildings Directive

(EPBD) needs to be transposed into regional policy and the

European Emissions Trading Scheme is being extended to

buildings (ETS2). New policy teams are also taking office at

regional, provincial and local levels and are now busy drawing

up their policy agenda. All this while we can observe that the

implementation practice is ready to shift gears.

OPERATION ENERGY NEIGHBOURHOODS, as an exhibition, is

not an end point, but it is a workroom for all of us to give shape

to the necessary action agenda. The seven action fronts that

follow outline how the efforts of diverse actors could fit together

like pieces of a puzzle. They are formulated as proposals that

are within reach and to which we can commit. From a shared

middle ground. What proposals do you endorse? What actions

are missing or could be formulated more precisely? Contribute

to the shared action agenda and get the operation rolling!

Let’s give shape to the

ACTION 1

SITUATION

PROPOSAL

ART 1.1

In today’s ad hoc, project-based approach to the energy transition, everyone is

acting separately, without quite knowing what impact their actions are having on

which ultimate goal. Different policy areas project their ambitions on the same place.

As such, one project causes delays or takes up the physical space of another. At the

same time, several climate and heat plans drawn up on paper are failing because

they were conceived without sufficiently considering implementation processes.

In each neighbourhood, an operational neighbourhood

action plan is drawn up together with residents and various

stakeholders in which projects are linked together. Instead of

making separate plans for energy, mobility, climate adaptation,

housing or poverty, an integrated area process is organized on

the scale of the neighbourhood. The neighbourhood action plan

sets out interim milestones in a logical sequence. Tasks and

goals are thus clear to all parties involved and can be followed up

together throughout the transformation of the neighbourhood.

We index local energy resources and project opportunities

Opportunities for local geothermal, aquathermal, sewage

and residual heat are maximized in order to provide fossil-free

heating for all homes by 2040. The local potential for electricity

generation is also mapped out. New developments, public

buildings and social housing play a role on a neighbourhood

scale, as catalysts of neighbourhood-wide projects.

In Bospolder-Tussendijken (BoTu) in

Rotterdam (NL), Posad-Maxwan drew up a

technical opportunity chart stacked with the

anthropological mapping of social networks

and residents’ needs and opportunities.

Three different models

The experiments in Chapter 1 and throughout this publication show that

there are several ways to approach the coordination of PED developments.

The governance structures are established step by step, with different degrees of

representation of the various stakeholders involved. We see that public bodies,

private companies and civil society take up different roles. But who would

you entrust with the mandate to coordinate your PED project? Should it be

organized more centrally or more locally, more formally or more informally?

And what competences should you make sure to have on board? From the

PED experiments we documented, we’ve derived three models that jointly

describe a range of possible approaches. This is meant as a starting point

for a conversation about local ambitions, dynamics and existing actors in

your neighbourhood. Which model will work best in a particular context will

depend on cultural differences (top-down vs bottom-up tradition, for example),

what systems and projects are needed or promising (it will be difficult to

build a central heating network without a strong public partner on board),

or which stakeholders

ART 1.2

are already active and networked (a cooperative or

social organization with roots in the neighbourhood can be a very strong

broker in a PED development). It’s up to you to evaluate these models, tweak

them and combine them until you have a coordination model that works for

your neighbourhood.

Integrated investment plans yield the best results. By implementing

a heat system simultaneously with the construction

of a new sewerage network and at the same time investing

in the local buffering and infiltration of rainwater and the

construction of a bicycle path, the cost price is easily reduced

by 30 per cent and space is used strategically.

We provide tools and frameworks to monitor

the neighbourhood transition

The heat project developer, the various city services, neighbourhood

development organizations, schools, cultural centres

and resident associations are tasked with drawing up a neighbourhood

action plan in dialogue with each other. They are

supported in this with process tools and guidance. They also

put together a team responsible for following up and adjusting

the plan during the neighbourhood’s multi-year transformation.

We adapt the internal urban organization accordingly

City officials work more closely together in neighbourhood

teams, tackling diverse goals around energy, public space,

housing, mobility, social policy, water and the economy on

the ground. Capacity is redistributed, allowing the city to

appoint project leaders who help to shape and implement the

neighbourhood action plan in partnership with citizens, utility

companies, local organizations and private developers.

an active role

ACTION 2

SITUATION

Today, the energy transition is often projected onto existing neighbourhoods in a highly technical

way. But an energy neighbourhood is not an appliance that you have to install. It is a living ecosystem

where people and their behaviours and social networks have a significant impact on the choice and

functioning of energy measures and systems. If people pull out or miss the boat, targets won’t be

met, the necessary private investments will be lacking and the social divide will continue to grow.

PROPOSAL

Neighbourhood facilitators, community workers and local

organizations such as the school, the library or the local

service centre are given the task and mandate to set in

motion a local dynamic around the energy transition and to

strengthen the neighbourhood community. Specific attention

is paid to hard-to-reach target groups: energy is a lever

to improve their conditions. Everyone – owners, tenants,

landlords, shop owners and visitors – gets the chance to

contribute to the neighbourhood action plan, in accordance

with their own desires and capabilities. The stronger their

sense of commitment and pride, the more sustainable the

neighbourhood energy transformation.

ART 2.1

We take vulnerable groups seriously

For (social) tenants, residents with a migrant background,

people living in poverty or single parents, the energy transition

is often not their main concern. Listening to them early

enough, in safe and appropriate environments, allows them to

help formulate the question. Their concerns and ideas are at

the heart of the neighbourhood action plan.

We collect stories and needs through fieldwork

When residents have the opportunity to write a shared narrative

about (the future of) their neighbourhood, they are intrinsically

motivated to join in making it a reality. Elements of play and

prototypes serve as accessible entrance points in this respect.

A physical base in the neighbourhood stimulates encounters

and ensures proximity between residents and city services. The

narrative grows with the neighbourhood action plan.

We organize various opportunities to join in

A neighbourhood community can co-appropriate the changes

in its environment in several ways. An important first step

is for people to have access to knowledge, information and

exchange. Through energy workshops, for example, residents

build up insight and capacity. This allows them to help make

decisions and give direction to the transformation of their

neighbourhood during a participation event, a co-creation

session or as shareholders in a (local) cooperative.

Each of the six districts into which Bologna (IT)

is divided has a ‘neighbourhood laboratory’ that

includes professionals (among others, architects

and neighbourhood workers) who, together with

residents, transform ideas into action.

SITUATION

PROPOSAL

ART 3.1

ART 3.2

Renovating is still seen as a purely individual (financial) burden. Our fragmented ownership

model is in part responsible for this. But not everyone has the time and capacity to look into

renovation in detail. Incentives for landlords are limited and, conversely, tenants risk shooting

themselves in the foot if they ask for renovations, since this will lead to rent increases. Payback

periods for investments are very long. And in the case of terraced houses and apartment

buildings, the energy efficiency of your home depends on whether your neighbour joins in.

The provision of a full-service solution for renovation is

organized more proactively and collectively. Energy houses set

up neighbourhood-oriented programmes together with city

services and team up with architects, contractors, construction

companies and material producers. Through group purchases,

contractor discounts, standardized building packages and

renovation-as-a-service, renovation becomes more feasible.

By bringing the offer to people in a targeted manner and thanks

to the momentum created, more unusual suspects also join

the movement. This leads to a more inclusive offer.

We develop a neighbourhood-oriented renovation offer

The energy house is coming to your neighbourhood. Their

activity is driven by supply instead of demand. With a motivating

campaign, as many residents as possible are steered towards

free renovation advice and support. To this end, the energy

house uses new instruments, such as the neighbourhood

renovation tool or heat loss scans of all homes. Advantageous

packages are offered in waves (e.g. 2025, 2028, 2032, 2036,

2040), so that renovations are clustered as much as possible.

For the ‘Scandinavia Blocks’ in Ghent (BE),

Studio Tuin en Wereld, AgwA and Domus Mundi

examined how a collective renovation of the

apartment building could be done in an inclusive

way. © Studio Tuin en Wereld

We innovate with materials and all-in-one building packages

Collective renovation goes hand in hand with innovation in the

construction sector. New materials are developed leading to

renovations being carried out with less impact on residents’

daily lives or on the quality of spaces. Parts of the renovation

process are standardized. Materials or building packages are

manufactured far more cheaply through deals with manufacturers

and suppliers. Both DIY builders and contracting

companies can take advantage of these.

A terraced house in such poor condition that

it could not be renovated is replaced by a

modular, prefabricated ‘plug-in’ house.

We support actions among neighbours

Collective renovation gets a boost when neighbours help each

other. Often, it is seemingly small things that stop people from

renovating. For example, the job of clearing out an attic can

get in the way of installing roof insulation. Together with the

neighbourhood facilitator, actions are set up to carry out such

chores together. Many hands make light work!

The City of Roeselare works with a social

employment organization to empty attics, on

condition that people have their roofs insulated.

ART 3.4

We introduce collective permits

If several buildings are renovated at the same time, it makes

sense to evaluate urban planning considerations – for example,

regarding a shifting building line or cornice – at street or

neighbourhood level. That is why neighbours can now submit

collective permit applications as part of a neighbourhood

renovation programme.

SITUATION

PROPOSAL

ART 4.1

ART 4.2

To be able to show tangible results sufficiently quickly, it is now often the most profitable and

feasible renewable energy projects that are carried out. Large solar roofs, new-build projects

or the renovation of buildings with high and stable consumption such as residential care homes

are considered feasible on a project basis. But the switch to fossil-free heating for individual

terraced houses is failing. Separating the promising and profitable energy projects from the

neighbourhood approach makes the energy transition of the remaining parts even more difficult.

As part of the neighbourhood action plan, a portfolio is drawn

up of systemic projects that, when added together, achieve the

set neighbourhood goals. Financial, technical, social, legal and

urban-planning experts pool their knowledge to think beyond

today’s market-based logics and help build the investment

logics we need and want. Local and supra-local authorities

dare to give these projects equal opportunities because they

see that otherwise the more difficult parts won’t get done and

population groups will be left behind.

We build a level playing field for collective energy systems

Shared heat systems and solar rooftops instead of everyone

having their own heat pump and PV installation: we know they

can be more efficient and cheaper in the long run, but we don’t

yet have the required regulations, guidance, and legal and

financial frameworks. In a world built around individual systems,

the support frameworks are being converted to really try out

decentralized, collective energy infrastructure. New providers

are being supported to optimize their model.

In Cornwall (GB), heat pump manufacturer Kensa

is developing a system where homes connect

with their individual booster heat pumps to a

collective heat network based on ground source

boreholes. © Legal and General, Heat the Streets

We concentrate on neighbourhood-based business cases

Potential that is unevenly distributed – local heat sources, large

solar roofs, densification opportunities – is redistributed in a

neighbourhood approach by looking beyond the scale of the

plot. This makes it possible to achieve the best possible balance

between energy consumption and production. Combinations

of more and less risky projects add up to a balanced neighbourhood

portfolio.

In Muide Meulestede in Ghent (BE), a study is

under way to see whether solar panels on the

roofs of large companies can help to generate

income to pre-finance solar panels on residential

roofs. © Architecture Workroom Brussels


4.B Collective projects as parts of a larger puzzle

Another logic we recognize is when a neighbourhood

strategy is broken down into smaller, manageable

sub-projects, for example around a street, square, block or

school. These are small-scale collaborations between residents,

owners, shopkeepers, organizations and/or public bodies.

They seize a local opportunity, such as drilling boreholes to

supply a number of buildings with sustainable heat in one go.

Local, social dynamics and economic opportunities persuade

residents to participate: enthusiastic neighbours convince each

other and change is visible in people’s immediate surroundings.

Altogether, these subsystems form a large mosaic. When

choosing this approach, it’s important to realize that there are

places where there are far fewer opportunities or where the

dynamics fail to materialize. The boundaries of each puzzle

piece must be defined in such a way that the whole neighbourhood

is covered and no one is left behind.

The block-by-block strategy in

Limerick (IE) aims to support

and accelerate the regeneration

of its inner-city neighbourhoods.

Within the historic Georgian

Quarter, this transformation is

being achieved by identifying a

number of anchor buildings, such

as the Post Office, the Arts Centre

and the Chamber of Commerce

(Limerick City and County

Council, 2019). By investing in the

refurbishment of these buildings,

they act as an entry point to

start conversations and engage

neighbouring owners within the

block to join in the refurbishment

one at a time. The public investment

is a catalyst for individuals and

private companies to surf along

on the value creation. ART 4.4 This is the

city’s way of tackling the whole

4.C Centralized, cooperative approach

At the other end of the spectrum, we

see neighbourhood approaches that take a more radical

collective approach. The organizational model and the energy

approach are designed and set up at the scale of the whole

neighbourhood. This makes it possible to rethink energy

production and consumption, but also public space, mobility

and social inclusion in an integral way. Imagine that the

entire PED development is driven by a neighbourhood energy

cooperative in which both local residents and organizations,

public authorities and private investors are shareholders. The

available private spaces (think of roof space to install solar

panels) and public spaces (for example, to drill geothermal

boreholes) are identified and managed by this cooperative,

and the locally produced energy is redistributed evenly

throughout the neighbourhood. The energy system can thus

be technically optimized and organized in an inclusive way.

De Nieuwe Dokken in Ghent (BE)

is a large, newly developed residential

neighbourhood in the

city’s harbour area. A cooperative

operates a heat and water network

with closed loops for heat, water

and waste. The technology is called

Zawent (Zero Waste Water with

Energy and Nutrient Recovery).

It is an innovative combination of

existing technologies. Waste water

from vacuum toilets is collected

separately, along with ground

kitchen waste, and converted

into biogas in a digester. Heat is

recovered from the grey water on

site. The water itself is purified and

reused by the neighbouring soap

company. Low-temperature waste

heat from the factory returns to the

residential area. By buying a house

in this new development, residents

automatically become shareholders

We realize structures for gradual transformation

In existing neighbourhoods, not all homes will switch to a new

energy system overnight. Projects build structures that inherently

deal with this evolving nature without it undermining their

business case. For example: if enough large customers for a

collective heat system are guaranteed from the start, smaller

homes in-between can join in over time. Or heat networks

can start at a micro level and expand when the next housing

cluster is ready to do so.

We position projects as locomotives for change

Strategic projects take on shared responsibility for the whole

neighbourhood. Public buildings such as schools, post offices,

cultural houses, sports facilities and social housing are real

pioneers of the energy transition, not because they are the

first to be renovated, but because they help to set in motion

the transformation of the surrounding built fabric. Legal provisions

stipulate that new private developments become the

kick-starters of collective energy systems.

In Mortsel (BE), ZuidtrAnt-W, Ecopower and

Kelvin Solutions are examining whether the

existing heat network with residual heat from

the Agfa-Gevaert factory, which already heats

the new-build neighbourhood Minerve, can be

extended to some surrounding streets with

existing, individual houses. © City of Mortsel

ART 4.5

We set up a neighbourhood fund

Instead of redistributing returns between projects, the returns

can also be managed and invested through a neighbourhood

fund. Residents can thus join in the decision-making on local,

social projects, focusing on what is close to their hearts – even

if it has nothing to do with energy.

(NL), Delfshaven Energie Coöperatie put

ACTION 5

SITUATION

PROPOSAL

ART 5.1

Large energy suppliers and grid operators, which mostly grew out of public organizations

and were then privatized, have long had a monopoly on the energy landscape. But the

energy transition of our existing neighbourhoods heralds a decentralization and takes

place on the bridge between public interest and private investment. This transition can’t

be ‘absorbed by the market’ in its entirety, but neither can it be borne entirely by the

public authorities. The lack of clarity about who is allowed to use public space or who is

expected to invest in collective infrastructures creates delays we can’t afford.

An entrepreneurial environment is created for citizens,

businesses and authorities to join forces in local energy and

climate companies. These are responsible for the step-by-step

and integrated implementation of neighbourhood action plans.

They work at the scale of a neighbourhood, city or region,

where they realize and manage the integrated and collective

energy projects. A stimulating framework is required at

regional level so that these energy and climate companies can

be mandated and supported.

We set up a public-private-civic organization

An energy district comes with many new roles: from involving

residents and local organizations to attuning plans, providing

renovation support, developing new projects and business

models as well as raising funds. A local energy company can play

each of these roles itself or share the tasks in partnerships. This

can take on a range of business forms: the ‘energy company’

can be the current grid operator, a new public-private-civic

vehicle, a city service that enters into a framework contract

with a local cooperative, etc.

Together with several local organizations,

including the Public Centre for Social Welfare

(OCMW), the City of Blankenberge set up a

cooperative Climate Company, of which residents

can buy shares. © City of Blankenberge

We invest the local public workforce

Because implementing the neighbourhood action plan is of

great societal importance, public authorities co-invest in the

necessary capacity to achieve this (similar to what happens in

an urban development company). This is because the personal

commitment during the start-up and management phase of

the energy transition in existing districts doesn’t fit in a private

business case. The increase of that place-based capacity can

be justified on the basis of the stacking of policy objectives to

be realized in an effective and cost-efficient way.

We design interaction between the different scales

Not every neighbourhood has to develop all the expertise

itself. The energy company 2.0 can also operate on an urban

or regional scale, partnering with local organizations in each

neighbourhood. Neighbourhood companies can also be supported

by an organization or partnership at the level of the

city or region.

We shape the legal and spatial framework for this

Clear legal agreements set out who has what authority where

for the use of the public domain and public property for energy

infrastructure. Partners are thus given time to check the feasibility

of projects during the development phase, without

the ground slipping out from under their feet, but can also

distribute roles in the building phase and during maintenance.

ACTION 6

SITUATION

PROPOSAL

ART 6.1

Today, the performance of our buildings is measured by principles permeated with the idea

of central heating. Every room in every home must meet the highest efficiency standards.

But this approach originated only a century ago, when we obtained seemingly unlimited

access to fossil fuels. Holding on to this principle pushes households to make very

expensive investments renovating their building shells. Even when the EPC label improves,

in many cases energy consumption doesn’t appear to drop much, if at all. This is due to the

‘rebound effect’: households use heat more abundantly when they have a lot of it.

When translating the new European EPBD directive into

national and regional regulations, the emphasis will be more on

fossil-free heating than on (theoretical) building efficiency. This

doesn’t mean that there will be less comfort. Architects show

that a broad spectrum of building typologies and renovations

is possible with passive measures, with both real energy

efficiency and improved quality of living. Redesigning those

typologies is a crucial tool for rethinking policy frameworks

and incentives at the level of building performance.

We prioritize fossil-free neighbourhoods

The current Energy Performance of Buildings (EPB) regulation is

being extended. This leads to a clear goal: as soon as possible

to fossil-free and step-by-step to nearly-zero energy. The focus

thus shifts from measured to lived performance, in line with

the objective of the European Energy Performance of Buildings

Directive (EPBD), which states that by 2040 all fossil heating

systems are to be phased out and by 2050 all buildings are to

be net-zero emissions.

On 28 May 2024, the revised Energy Performance

of Buildings Directive (EPBD) came into force in

all EU countries. © European Commission

Théorie vs Réalité : le label PEB

influence-t-il la consommation ?

L’écart entre consommations théoriques et

consommations réelles peut avoir plusieurs causes,

dont le fait que les modèles sous-estiment la vraie

performance des bâtiments anciens, en usant

involontairement d’hypothèses qui leur sont

défavorables. Mais une grande partie de l’écart entre

ces consommations théoriques et réelles tient à la

possibilité d’action des personnes occupantes. Car c’est

un fait : une fois construits, les bâtiments ne

consomment pas d’énergie. Leur constitution physique

a bien une influence sur la vitesse à laquelle l’énergie va

consommation. À l’inverse, les usages jouent un rôle

prépondérant : Vais-je laisser les fenêtres ouvertes en

hiver ? Vais-je mettre le thermostat à 23°C ou à 17°C ?

Vais-je chauffer uniquement lorsque je suis là, dans les

pièces que j’occupe, ou partout en permanence ? etc.

Le graphique ci-dessus est éloquent et montre la

faiblesse de la stratégie actuelle. Tiré d’une étude

finalisée il y a dix ans déjà et portant sur près de 50.000

logements à Amsterdam, il compare les

consommations réelles avec les consommations

théoriques eu égard à la catégorie PEB des logements 2 .

Une part significative de l’écart entre consommations

théoriques et réelles tient à l’attention des personnes

occupantes et à la configuration de leur logement 4 .

De fait, en effaçant les personnes qui habitent, la

politique actuelle nous donne un chèque en blanc : tant

que nous isolons, nous pouvons consommer sans

modération tout en profitant des subsides. Et c’est bien

ce que nous faisons, comme le mettent en évidence

plusieurs études concernant les effets rebond après

isolation 5 .

ART 6.2

We encourage innovation around new

building typologies and uses

Instead of heating all rooms in a home to the same temperature,

architects show how smaller heated cores, rooms at an

intermediate climate and unheated zones provide quality and

comfort. The shell of a home is layered and zoned. Design

research and competitions activate the power of designers to

apply these alternative climate regimes also in terraced houses

and collective renovation projects.

Architects Lacaton & Vassal applied their

now famous winter façade in collaboration

with 51N4E to one of the residential towers of

Peterbos in Anderlecht (BE). This façade works

all year round as a climatic buffer space between

the outside and inside of the dwellings. © 51N4E

ART 6.3

ART 6.4

We take into account building and urban morphology

The location of housing affects how much sunlight enters and

how. Surrounding buildings, vegetation or outdoor air circulation

offer warmth or coolness. Taking that building and urban morphology

into account provides easy energy gains. For example,

positioning a central lift shaft slightly to the north allows larger

spaces along the southern side of a building to capture more heat.

We adjust incentives and frameworks accordingly

Regulations and frameworks are rebuilt on the basis of the

interventions that prove to work in practice. Buildings are given

a differentiated or even use-based EPC label and a renovation

passport. Efficient energy behaviour is encouraged, for instance

through progressive energy tariffs per occupant, adapted

premium systems, renovation obligation or tax incentives.

typologies for the energy transition in a lexicon,

ACTION 7

SITUATION

PROPOSAL

A house-by-house energy transition targeting individual homeowners seems to many to be the

only way forward, as it ties in with the existing culture, ownership structure and policies. But it is

not enough to make the transition happen in a sufficiently fast, affordable and inclusive manner.

Local authorities find that addressing different goals in an integrated way in an area process at

neighbourhood scale offers a pragmatic solution that also increases financial feasibility. But they

lack the clear direction, mandate, frameworks and support to take on a leading role.

The regional and federal authorities make integrated, fossil-free

neighbourhoods their mission for the coming legislature. To

this end, they give the leading roles to local administrations and

intermunicipal companies, which they support in various ways

to carry out their tasks as well as possible. In partnership with

network organizations, knowledge centres and investment funds,

the local and supra-local authorities announce ‘Operation Energy

Neighbourhoods’. With that programme, they translate the goal

of fossil-free heating by 2040 and emissions-free by 2050 into

neighbourhood projects in many concrete places at the same time.

ART 7.1

We set clear common goals

By communicating which neighbourhoods will go off gas and

when, the practical field – local authorities, citizens and industrial

players alike – know in which direction and according

to what calendar the transition is going to happen. At the

supra-local level, a clear course towards collective energy

systems is set and the places where they are most promising

and preferred are identified. Imposing a deadline automatically

increases the development of a market for new solutions.

The Flemish governing agreement 2024–2029

puts the further tightening of the renovation

obligation on hold. Experts call for such a future

path to be made more rigorous again. © Flemish

ART 7.5


ART 7.2

We redraw the supra-local legislative framework

Local authorities are mandated to set the time frame for phasing out fossil systems at specific locations.

They must draw up a neighbourhood action plan for every neighbourhood and determine which energy

company 2.0 will take charge of the implementation. Subsidy frameworks are redrawn so that subsidies

go to the households that need them most. Higher-income households can apply instead for preferential

loans (pre-financing).

ART 7.3

We set up an investment and guarantee fund

A regional fund is set up in which budgets from different departments

and private capital, e.g. from pension funds, are pooled.

This will support families of integrated neighbourhood projects

locally. This can be done in part through subsidies, but also

through pre-financing with long payback periods or by offering

guarantees in function of market development.

In the Natural Gas-Free Neighbourhoods

Programme (NL), 64 neighbourhoods receive a

contribution from the Central Government; in

this way, municipalities themselves are choosing

how to get their neighbourhoods off natural gas.

ART 7.4

We provide support and implementation capacity at regional level

At regional level, an implementation-oriented agency for the

built environment is established, by analogy with open space.

Their mission and competence is to support local actors in

drawing up integrated area processes on the scale of the

neighbourhood. Neighbourhood projects learn from each other

through a regional platform. Here, strategies and knowledge

are developed that everyone needs. Regional policymakers

from different departments sit at the table and adapt policy

frameworks to the lessons learned.

The core tasks of the National Programme

for Local Heat Transition (NL) are: to support

municipalities with explanations, practical

examples and tools; to identify and put on the

agenda opportunities and obstacles in terms

of implementation and policy; and to monitor

progress of the local heat transition. © National

Programme for Local Heat Transition

ART 7.5

We implement transformative innovation policies through Living Labs

Research projects are oriented towards the complexity of

societal transition: they combine R&D, policy innovation and

societal innovation. Researchers, policymakers and societal

actors work together in long-term Living Labs.

Innovation policy for societal challenges should

be implemented with new policy instruments

based on the ‘co-creation’ of innovation.

A neighbourhood approach

as an interplay of actions

A transition is not something that can be achieved through a

single intervention. It requires a coherent set of actions in each

neighbourhood. The seven action fronts therefore aren’t isolated

from each other; they are interconnected and add up to an

impactful operation. In this exhibition, we present one object

for each of the seven action fronts. Each of these pieces offers

a glimpse into a real-life experiment. But just like the actions

themselves, these experiments aren’t isolated. It is only when we

project these experiments together in one neighbourhood that

we can form a clear picture of how to get to work to realize the

energy transition of our built environment.

Collective Heat Act

The Collective Heat Act (NL) has been approved by

the Dutch Council of Ministers and is now on the

table of the Council of State and the Lower House.

The law will stipulate that heat companies will be

owned for more than 50% by public authorities, such

as municipalities and provinces. This will facilitate

the rollout of reliable collective heat which, for about

a third of buildings in the Netherlands, is the option

that costs society the least amount of money.
