ZEB’s aim was to develop competitive products and solutions that make (net) zero-emission buildings a natural choice for the construction industry. The centre combined research on innovative materials, low carbon building envelopes, smart energy systems, operation, and design strategies to show how future buildings can generate as much clean energy as they use.

ZEN’s mission is to develop solutions for the zero‑emission buildings and neighbourhoods, contributing to a low‑carbon and resilient society. The ZEN Research Centre collaborates closely with municipalities, developers, and energy companies to create scalable, climate‑friendly neighbourhoods across Norway.

Syn.ikia is an EU-funded project aiming at developing sustainable neighbourhoods with surplus renewable energy across Europe. It was born as a response to an urgent challenge in the building sector: reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the built environment while at the same time boosting access to affordable housing.

The overall aim of the EU-funded ARV project is to demonstrate and validate attractive, resilient, and affordable solutions that significantly speed-up deep energy renovations and deployment of energy and climate measures in the construction and energy industries. The project is working towards the implementation of climate-positive circular communities in Europe, focusing on net zero-emission buildings and neighbourhoods.

The MAKING PEDs project focuses on developing Digital Twins as decision support tools for cities. With 11 international partners—including research institutes, universities, municipalities, and industry organisations—the project supports four cities in navigating the complexity of climate neutral district regeneration and in engaging citizens throughout the process.

This Marie Skłodowska Curie Actions Doctoral Network sits at the intersection of ports and renewable energy. POTENT brings together a multidisciplinary community of social science and engineering scholars from leading European research institutions. Working closely with ports, public agencies, industry, and international organizations, the network tackles the collective action challenges that shape the green transition.
