“…Still investigating the PED topic, further studies and publications work on the systematic collection and cataloguing of the following key aspects: (1) technologies and solutions for PED effective implementation [32][33][34], (2) financing tools and business models to support PED technical feasibility and economic affordability [35,36] and (3) social tools to facilitate stakeholders mapping, to foster citizens' awareness on environmental issues and to support community engagement [37,38] broadening the scope beyond the environmental dimension to encompass energy justice-related aspects emphasizing the need to integrate opportunity spaces, well-being concerns [39] and energy vulnerability mitigation [40], and (4) criteria and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to monitor and evaluate PEDs impacts on the built environment [41][42][43][44].…”

This paper presents the Positive Energy District Database (PED DB), a pivotal web tool developed collaboratively by the COST Action ‘PED-EU-NET,’ in alignment with international initiatives such as JPI Urban Europe and IEA EBC Annex 83. The PED DB represents a crucial step towards sharing knowledge, promoting collaboration, reinforcing decision-making, and advancing the understanding of Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) in the pursuit of sustainable urban environments. The PED DB aims to comprehensively map and disseminate information on PEDs across Europe, serving as a dynamic resource for sustainable urban development according to the objective of making the EU climate-neutral by 2050. Indeed, PEDs imply an integrated approach for designing urban areas—the districts—where a cluster of interconnected buildings and energy communities produce net zero greenhouse gas emissions, managing an annual local/regional overflow production of renewable energy. The paper describes the collaborative step-by-step process leading to the PED DB implementation, the current results and potentials of the online platform, and introduces its future developments towards a more user-friendly and stakeholders-tailored tool. The interactive web map offers a customizable visualizations and filters on multiple information related to PED case studies, PED-relevant cases, and PED Labs. Users can access detailed information through a table view, facilitating comparisons across different PED projects and their implementation phase. The paper offers insights and detailed analysis from the initial dataset that includes 23 PED cases and 7 PED-related projects from 13 European countries, highlighting the key characteristics of surveyed PEDs.
