Promising local innovations The use of pilot projects(Fme) ZEB: the Centre for Zero Emission Buildings(Fme) ZEN: the Centre for Zero Emission Neighbourhoods in Smart Cities
The role of social science Living labs and experimentsExamples: A zero emission kindergarten at LøAn experiment at Campus EvenstadKey performance indicators and zero village Bergen

FME ZEB (2009-2017) 9 pilot projects
• Arena for testing &
demonstration
• Encourage collaboration
• Visible outside the centre
Social science
WP4: energy efficient use &
operation
ZEN’s visionA neighbourhood “a set of interconnected buildings and associated infrastructure, located in a confined geographical area.” …. a zero emission neighbourhood “aims to reduce its direct and indirect green house gas (GHG) emissions to zero.” (Brattebø et al. 2019).

Pilot neighbourhoods living labs
ZEN Centre: Living labs for experimenting, engaging,
testing, verifying, documenting and optimalising
solutions developed by the ZEN Centre.
Living labs: to gain experience, demonstrate and test
ideas – Marvin et al. 2018.
Experiments: a means of making sense of the present whilst
also providing a vision of the future - Bulkeley et al. 2018.

neighbourhood in Lø, Steinkjer
Campus Evenstad: The faculty of applied ecology, agricultural sciences
and biotechnology
Approx. 200 students & 60 employees
«Optimisation of energy management»
The experiment: a low-tech actionBuilt in 1987, 3 floors and 4 ventilation systems.
Heating and ventilation was shut down from
1st July – 1st August 2018.
Energy was saved
12 000 kWt (or 12 MWt) were saved, during the
four-week period. There was approximately
12,000 kWt greater energy consumption in the
building in August compared with July. This is
due in part to the shutdown of the ventilation
system, but it is also due to higher activity in the
building in August.The old administration building
ZEN’s relevance
“The two things complement each other. Here on campus we
could produce food and deal with waste products for a zero-
emission neighbourhood……. I have never been involved in any
brainstorming. It is very technical and outside our field, but
ecosystem services are within it. There ought to be some kind of
collaboration.” Engineer Campus Evenstad
