Solar cities (book)

Green Solar Cities

The Green Solar Cities EU project focuses on the large scale implementation of solar energy technologies in combination with new build and retrofit low energy building in Copenhagen and Salzburg. This book will benefit those cities aiming at a "Smart City" development, but lacking clear policies of how to achieve that in practice. There is still a lack of understanding concerning how solar energy can play a major role and be combined with energy efficiency policies, use of district heating and combined heat and power. The general aim is to introduce the international "Active House" standard, connecting solar energy with low energy building and energy renovation.
