  1. Project presentation: Grant Agreement No IEE/09/841/SI2.558360 Duration from Sep 1, 2011 to Feb 28, 2013, Date of slides: March 8, 2013

  2. Content: • Pilot training of urban planners and others involved with urban planning to understand the basics of RES • Dissemination of main triaining material to other stakeholders in Europe • Key objective: • Introduction of RES and EE into urban planning as a means to improve sustainability of the urban plans • Main outputs: • 800 experts participated in training sessions • Experiences of various training approaches to be shared • Key training material available in 10 languages (3 000 slides) • Communication in conferences, public media, face to face, etc. • Partners: • 7 partners from Finland, Germany, Hungary, Spain and U.K. 2) Project Summary

  3. Challenges to Urban Planning • Need to reduce heat consumption in buildings; • Need to reduce fuel consumption in transportation; • Need to reduce electricity consumption in lighting, cooling, heating; • Need to turn from fossil to renewable energy; and, • Need to reduce overall emissions to atmosphere. • Key Role • The Urban Planner is the first in the urban development process to decide whether RES and EE will succeed in the particular area or not. • Barriers faced by RES Expansion • At present, urban areas tend to be scattered rather than centralised, which means higher energy consumption and emissions! • Energy and emission issues are not taught to urban planners, neither in planning schools nor in continuing education programmes in general; • In year 2009, only 4 universities were identified in Northern America and the EU that have integrated energy and emissions with their urban planning syllabus 3) background

  4. Objectives • Start pilot training of urban planners and relatedstakeholders in five countries to understand the requirements set and opportunities offered by RES and EE • Disseminatetrainingmaterial to other schools to develop similar training • Raise awareness of the planning audience on the links prevailing between urban and energy planning • Main Steps • Carry out the training needs analysis in five countries • Desing and delivershort and long training courses for the urban planners and the main stakeholders • Collect and analyse the feedback of deliveredtrainings • Provide lessons learned and training materials to other training organisations in Europe 4) Objectives and main steps

  5. Awareness has risenamong the urban planningprofessionals: in order to fight Climate Change, one has to deal with energy and emissions in parallel to the urban planning; • Some1115 urban planners and other experts have been trained to understand the links prevailing between urban and energy planning, requirements set and opportunities offered by RES and EE ; • Some 200 planning schools and up to 2 500 district energy companies have been informed about the training material available in web in 10 languages • Nearly580 readers/downloads per eachtrainingmodule on UPRES website • New best practise cases are underdevelopment, based on the existing best practices; and, • In Finland, in particular, there is evidence that the pilot training of UP-RES has changed existing planning policies (City of Oulu) and incorporated RES and EE elements in to the plans (City of Jyväskylä). 5) impacts
