          Abstract

          Within the Norwegian Research Centre for Zero Emission Neighbourhoods (ZEN) in smart cities, a definition for achieving zero emission neighbourhoods will be developed and tested against nine pilot areas. The ZEN definition considers a series of assessment criteria and key performance indicators (KPI) under seven categories; GHG emissions, energy, power/load, mobility, economy, spatial qualities and innovation. This paper presents the first draft of the ZEN definition, and discusses some of the opportunities and challenges in implementing assessment criteria and KPIs (ZEN metrics) into a ZEN KPI tool. This paper briefly presents the ZEN pilot areas and maps out existing tools used by ZEN stakeholders for the documentation of ZEN metrics. The paper goes further by presenting a ZEN KPI tool conceptual framework for the implementation of the ZEN definition in ZEN pilot areas and outlines a specification for the future development of a ZEN KPI tool. Finally, the paper presents further work for the development of a ZEN KPI tool.

            A Database Tool for Systematic Analysis of Embodied Emissions in Buildings and Neighborhoods

            Eirik Resch, Inger Andresen (2018)
            There is a growing body of research on the embodied emissions of individual buildings, but the results and methods remain mostly inaccessible and incomparable due to insufficient reported information, and differences in system boundaries, methods, and data used. This inhibits further utilization of the results in statistical applications and makes interpretation and validation of results difficult. The database tool presented in this paper attempts to mitigate these challenges by systematizing and storing all relevant information for these studies in a compatible format. The tool enables comparison of results across system boundaries, improves the transparency and reproducibility of the assessments, and makes utilization of the results in statistical applications possible. Statistical applications include embodied emission benchmarking, identifying emission drivers, and quantifying relationships between variables. Other applications of the tool include the assessment of embodied emissions of buildings and neighborhoods. This paper presents the tool and exemplifies its use with preliminary results based on a dataset of 11 buildings. Work is ongoing to expand the dataset, which will provide more comprehensive results.
