The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) creates knowledge for a better world and solutions that can change everyday life. On 1 January 2016, NTNU has merged with the University Colleges of Ålesund, Gjøvik and Sør-Trøndelag. The merger results in more comprehensive educational offerings and larger research environments. The new organization is Norway's most exciting, innovative and largest university.

Scope:

PI-SEC is a new project funded by the Research Council of Norway, in collaboration with amongst others Bergen and Oslo Municipalities. PI-SEC will deliver efficient planning instruments for integrated energy design at the neighbourhood scale, qualified for Norwegian planning context in cooperation with public stakeholders. The project will provide increased knowledge about what parameters are essential for moving towards smart and sustainable energy use in Norwegian cities and how these can be linked to the planning, operation and monitoring of new or renewed neighbourhoods.

PI-SEC addresses 2 main challenges towards smart energy communities:

1. Cross-scale indicators for setting goals and measuring progress;
2. Implementation and integration of these indicators in planning instruments.

The postdoctoral candidate will work for and with Oslo and Bergen municipalities to extract knowledge and experiences gained; to compare, analyse and facilitate transfer of these experiences across the Norwegian, EU and international resource groups; and to make the new knowledge available beyond the project. This will include project meetings, interviews, and secondments.

The PhD will focus on scientific studies related to the following research questions:

1. What are the main drivers and challenges experienced in smart energy communities projects?
2. Which KPIs, targets and planning instruments are transferable to the Norwegian PI-SEC case projects
3. How do the chosen targets, KPIs and planning instruments perform when implemented into Norwegian cases of neighbourhood development projects?
4. How can the test experiences be embedded in existing Norwegian planning instruments to create a better toolkit for smart energy development projects?
