The PEDSET project explores the role of Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) in Switzerland’s energy transition by creating urban areas that generate more energy than they consume. As Switzerland moves towards its 2030 CO \(_2\) law targets, PEDs integrate renewable energy, enhance efficiency, and promote social and economic sustainability. The project assesses PED concepts and existing technologies while considering Switzerland’s specific context, including innovations and societal energy goals. Through literature review and analysis of PED-like initiatives, this article identifies key energy technologies and evaluates their feasibility in Swiss cities. Beyond technology, this paper highlights social acceptance and citizen participation. The analysis emphasizes the critical role of active citizen and stakeholder engagement in enhancing social acceptance and driving the success of PED initiatives in Switzerland. This study explores Swiss business models in energy, mobility, and building renovation, emphasizing innovation, cooperation, and emerging financing solutions. The objective of this article is to present the PEDSET project, together with its three perspectives on existing practices (technological solutions, societal acceptance, and business models) surrounding the implementation of PEDs in Switzerland. The aim is to identify critical synergies, barriers, and opportunities to guide future sustainable urban developments.

摘要

The PEDSET project explores the role of Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) in Switzerland’s energy transition by creating urban areas that generate more energy than they consume. As Switzerland moves towards its 2030 CO \(_2\) law targets, PEDs integrate renewable energy, enhance efficiency, and promote social and economic sustainability. The project assesses PED concepts and existing technologies while considering Switzerland’s specific context, including innovations and societal energy goals. Through literature review and analysis of PED-like initiatives, this article identifies key energy technologies and evaluates their feasibility in Swiss cities. Beyond technology, this paper highlights social acceptance and citizen participation. The analysis emphasizes the critical role of active citizen and stakeholder engagement in enhancing social acceptance and driving the success of PED initiatives in Switzerland. This study explores Swiss business models in energy, mobility, and building renovation, emphasizing innovation, cooperation, and emerging financing solutions. The objective of this article is to present the PEDSET project, together with its three perspectives on existing practices (technological solutions, societal acceptance, and business models) surrounding the implementation of PEDs in Switzerland. The aim is to identify critical synergies, barriers, and opportunities to guide future sustainable urban developments.
