D4.1 Completed building group Republica

Summary:

The goal of this report is to validate the delivery of the building block Republica and its contribution to the Positive Energy District Buiksloterham in Amsterdam North.

The Buiksloterham demonstrator proves how a mixed-use block (residential, commercial, hotel) can contribute to the establishment of a positive energy district. Target group for the document is other real estate developers having sustainability ambitions as well as other stakeholders, like electricity distribution system operators (DSO) and municipal officials.

Republica is designed as a highly efficient building block with innovative features to test energy storage, smart electric vehicle charging, energy management and trading, and energy communities. It also serves as a “living lab” environment to study the behaviour of inhabitants and occupants in such an environment.
