AI-Generated Summary
ASCEND Munich is an EU-funded project developing an urban digital twin to plan and evaluate Positive Clean Energy Districts in Munich's northern areas. Working within the Connected Urban Twins framework, it creates detailed virtual models simulating energy flows, building performance, mobility patterns, and environmental conditions.
The project enables planners to test scenarios for climate-neutral districts, optimising renewable energy, building efficiency, and smart grid integration. Partners include the City of Munich, Technical University of Munich, and European research institutions.
ASCEND demonstrates how digital twin technology accelerates transitions to climate-positive urban districts through evidence-based planning.
