The concept of Positive Energy Districts is increasingly being considered as a means of powering clusters of the UK.

Professionals and students with an interest in areas including energy, architecture and urban planning can tap into world-leading expertise in a free online event, the GBS Expert Talk Series - Positive Energy Districts.

Organised by Austria’s Green.Building.Solution’s (GBS) summer university, more details of the bite-sized programme, which takes place on Wednesday, February 17, from 3pm to 5pm, can be found at https://hopin.com/events/green-building-solutions-expert-talk-series-positive-energy-districts

OeAD student housing – part of Austria’s national agency for international mobility and cooperation in education, science and research - operates GBS under a not-for-profit arrangement.

Now in its 11th year, GBS attracts participants from around the world looking to understand more about the ecological, economic, technical and social aspects of sustainable planning and construction, transferring Austria’s first-hand ecological knowledge and engineering expertise to an international audience.

Participants broaden their knowledge in the fields of passive house technology and energy efficiency and also get to work together with experts in practical workshops.

The three-week programme – delivered entirely in English - is taking place online from July 17 to Aug 8, 2021.

Registration is now open and more details can be found at https://summer-university.net/gbs-vienna/
