The document discusses the Avedøre Green City project in Copenhagen, Denmark which aims to transform the district into a zero energy community through district heating system optimization, building retrofits, and an energy cooperative. A steering committee of local stakeholders developed a shared vision and action plan based on UN sustainability goals. The project will retrofit 210,000 square meters of housing to reduce energy use by 50% through new radiators, insulation, solar energy and an optimized district heating system. Residents will be empowered to locally produce and consume sustainable energy through an energy cooperative. The project is part of the H2020 RINNO initiative to accelerate deep building renovations across Europe.

EMPOWERING CITIZENS
Mapping and engaging citizens, organizations, institutions, the municipality and other
relevant stake holders in the development of the district towards a shared vision of
sustainability
Facilitating the cooperation between different types of organizations and processes
Giving enthusiastic people the right tools and information to help them keep being
enthusiastic
Listening to needs, ideas, challenges and stories from the local context

Green Cities
Part of RINNO – H2020
• RINNO's overall purpose is to provide a framework solution that will help accelerate the frequency of deep
renovations in the European building stock. The intention is to achieve an ambitious annual renovation rate
of 3.5%.
• RINNO's ultimate goal is to develop, validate and demonstrate an operational approach that will streamline
and facilitate the entire life cycle of building renovation (planning, design, construction, operation and
maintenance).

Part of RINNO – Store Hus
• Construction year: 1974.
The building is made of concrete elements and is not well insulated
• Surface for testing –
A group of flats will act as a demo site (min. 480 m2 – max. 33.572,8 m2)
• Replication in between 496 flats (Store Hus) and 2499 (all of Avedøre Stationsby) depending on the results
