Green scenario: In the green scenario, the energy demand of settlements can be reduced by 33%, and the electricity supply is 100% based on renewable energy sources.
Such planning tools have to offer a sound estimation of the energy demand of settlements, and an evaluation of the environmental and socio-economic impacts depending on the energy supply.
Further determinants of the energy demand of settlements are the degree of centrality of the municipality and the distance of the settlement to the supply centres within the municipality.
Planning decisions of settlements and houses have considerable impacts on the energy demand and the technological options for the energy supply of residential areas, and, therefore, on the energy consumption of society.
The benefits of settlements are obvious.
