The ECODISTR-ICT project developed an integrated decision support tool for retrofitting and renewing existing urban districts toward sustainability.bed.ectp+1
It connects stakeholders like planners and building owners to assess costs, life-cycle benefits, resource efficiency, social impacts, and environmental effects.[cordis.europa]
Project Goals
The tool, known as the Integrated Decision Support System (IDSS), promotes coordinated decisions on building and district renovations.[ectp]
It adopts a holistic approach, integrating technology, environmental factors, and stakeholder collaboration for sustainable urban upgrades.[cordis.europa]
Key Features
- Web-based dashboard with KPI calculation modules for energy, costs, and impacts.
- Design visualization, scoring tools, and crowd-sourcing for user-friendly analysis.[cordis.europa]
- Flexible, modular structure supporting iterative decision-making across district scales.[cordis.europa]
Outcomes and Status
Tested in five European case studies, it emphasizes context-specific KPIs over one-size-fits-all solutions.[cordis.europa]
Funded under EU FP7 (project ID 608913), the open-source platform aids professionals in complex retrofit scenarios.cordis.europa+1
