Zero Emission Neighbourhoods in Smart Cities. Definition, key performance indicators and assessment criteria: Version 3.0

Abstract

This document outlines the definition, key performance indicators (KPI) and assessment criteria for the Research Centre on Zero Emission Neighbourhoods in Smart Cities (ZEN Research Centre). This third version of the ZEN definition builds upon previous versions of the ZEN definition. The GHG emissions (GHG), energy (ENE) and power (POW) categories have been further developed and refined through empirical research and iterative testing in the ZEN pilot areas. Table 2: ZEN assessment criteria and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) has been revised. Revision of mobility (MOB), economy (ECO), spatial qualities (QUA) and innovation (INN) categories has been performed. Innovation no longer contains ZEN assessment criteria or KPIs but is an important process that will be explored in subsequent versions of the ZEN definition report. The report is available as an English version (EN) and a Norwegian version (NO). Over 100 people involved in the ZEN research centre have contributed to this document.
