A training network has enabled young Europeans to develop urban decision-making tools capable of minimising non-renewable energy use in cities.
The EU-funded CI-NERGY project – which was trialled in the cities of Geneva and Vienna – successfully created software tools for simulating renewable energy and urban energy efficiency scenarios. The project demonstrated how decision makers can approach this issue at the urban district level rather than for just each individual building, and underlined the importance of equipping scientists of the future with multiple skills.
