Manifesto Energy Lab Zuidoost
The Energie Lab Zuidoost has drawn up a manifesto to ensure that the good intentions of researchers are also in line with the wishes and needs of the people in the neighbourhood. With this we inform new students and researchers about the basic principles of the Energy Lab Southeast when conducting practical research. The five basic principles are reciprocity, social commitment, transparency, cooperation and due care. The manifesto has been drawn up together with residents, the municipality and other stakeholders who have an interest in realizing the energy transition in Amsterdam Zuidoost.

Lab 1: Local smart energy systems
How can local electricity best be generated, stored and distributed as our electricity consumption increases? In the coming years, Amsterdam Southeast will be the test location for an innovative neighborhood energy platform: the LIFE City platform. The LIFE City platform stands for a Local Inclusive Future Energy City platform. This platform helps to manage the electricity grid - the local exchange, distribution and storage of electrical energy - in a smart way. In this living lab, a scalable energy platform is being developed in the ArenAPoort area and research is being conducted into local smart energy systems. In this collection you will find a series of articles about the LIFE City Platform and research related to the development of local smart energy systems.

Lab 2: Sustainable renovation of homes
With the large-scale renovation and construction plans in Southeast and the further development of Amstel III, partners in Southeast are working on opportunities to link these developments to social and economic challenges in Southeast. Making the existing city more sustainable is one of the biggest challenges in this respect.
In 2019, the first facade project in Reigersbos (280 homes) was started in the developing neighborhoods together with the EU (Climate-KIC). The aim is to renovate 10,000 homes in Amsterdam using this approach in an energy-neutral manner. Various renovation packages are offered, with choices for renewing the facade, the heat supply and the installation of solar panels. In addition to benefits in terms of sustainability, the renovation offers great potential for increased living comfort and a better living environment in the home. This approach is also aimed at increasing the socio-economic position of the residents by saving on energy consumption and maintenance with the renovation and by keeping housing costs at least neutral. -

Lab 3: Low temperature heat networks
Amsterdam wants to be completely natural gas-free by 2040. Sustainable heat networks play an important role in this. There are several data centers in Amstel III, which produce a large amount of heat. Heat that is currently not used and is lost. In line with the climate objective of Amsterdam Zuidoost, work is being done in Amstel III on the realization of low-temperature heat networks to heat buildings and homes with residual heat from data centers.
The realization of such heat networks entails many issues. What are the optimal technical specifications of low-temperature heat networks? What is the acceptance of heat networks in (existing) buildings? How do you organize ownership and how do you organize open networks to which other sources and customers can connect in the future? What legal preconditions are required by the legislator to stimulate sustainability? In this collection you will find articles about the realization of low-temperature heat networks in Amstel III. -

De energietransitie in Zuidoost in kaart
De gemeente Amsterdam bouwt, samen met bewoners, het bedrijfsleven en publieke organisaties, aan een economisch sterk en duurzaam Amsterdam Zuidoost. Amsterdam Zuidoost heeft als doelstelling om in 2040 energieneutraal te zijn, waarbij de ontwikkeling van Amsterdam Zuidoost kansen biedt om verduurzaming samen te laten gaan met armoedebestrijding en een verbetering in de leefomgeving. In deze collectie vindt u de Visie Amsterdam Zuidoost Energieneutraal 2040 die de gemeente samen met bewoners heeft opgesteld en verzameling van energie-initiatieven in Zuidoost.

Project
Energy Lab Southeast
By 2050, the municipality of Amsterdam aims to reduce its CO2 emissions by 95% compared to the emissions in 1990, with the goal of not exceeding the earth's natural limits (boundaries). To achieve this goal, Amsterdam is working towards a city that is free of natural gas, emissions, and energy neutral.
Amsterdam Zuidoost is taking it one step further and aims to be energy-neutral by 2040. The development of Amsterdam Zuidoost offers opportunities to combine sustainability with poverty reduction and social improvement. For example, by improving the living comfort of homes during renovation projects, Or by creating local employment during large-scale renovations. This is called a social energy transition.
Achieving this requires collaboration from many different parties. Both from the government and the residents, as well as from businesses and researchers. The Energy Lab Southeast brings these parties together. The goal is to contribute directly to the challenges and projects in Amsterdam Southeast with scientific expertise.We focus on a number of scalable pilots and experiments in Amsterdam Southeast that are carried out by various companies, public organizations and residents. Here we bring together practice, policy, research and education. In a scientific ‘Werkplaats’, we monitor these pilots to draw lessons for scaling up, and we work with a team of researchers from different disciplines to collaborate with the municipality on relevant issues.
The Energy Lab Southeast facilitates the exchange of knowledge between different projects, organizations, and disciplines. The knowledge is shared widely so that the innovations can be applied throughout Amsterdam and beyond.
Methods and themes
By experimenting together in various "Living Labs," we develop and test innovations. We do this together with businesses, residents, the government, and science. In the Living Labs, we learn what really works. The experiments are monitored from a scientific perspective. We learn how these innovations can be applied in urban environments. By organizing workshops and events, knowledge is exchanged between different projects, organizations, and disciplines
The practical experiments are carried out around three themes:
1: Local smart energy systems
In the ArenApoort area, a scalable community energy platform is being developed and tested for a wide variety of stakeholders.2: Sustainable renovation of homes
In Reigersbos, efforts are being made to scale up the renovation approach for homes. This approach involves renovating/renewing the facades and developing various renovation packages for the VvE's to create comfortable homes with a healthy living environment.3: Low temperature district heating networks
In Amstel III, a new and sustainable district heating network is being developed that uses rest heat from a data center. By researching both the limitations in the current market and the technical requirements of low temperature district heating projects, we are developing a blueprint for such networks.In this collection, you will find more information about the Energy Lab Southeast and its three themes.
