Background: Negative cascading effects in urban energy systems arise more and more
often, and with higher intensity. Energy consumption by industry, urban infrastructure and
buildings, and private citizens impact on each other with severe consequences for human
comfort and health as well as power supply and security. A systemic approach for integrated
urban energy planning and design can help mitigate this cascading effect through better
energy efficiency, more use of renewables and bioclimatic urban and building design to lower
energy demand and improve quality of life. Such a systemic approach requires experts that
are not just proficient in their distinct energy-related discipline, but, above all, in
interdisciplinary project cooperation.
Objectives: This session will gain hands-on knowledge and expertise in smart sustainable
energy in cities, exchanging and learning from Japanese and Norwegian experiences with
triple helix projects in which cities, industry and research cooperate to find the best integrated
solutions.
