Webinar results PVE Heat transition vision Utrecht
The Municipality of Utrecht aims to have 40.000 homes and other buildings in the city gas-free by 2030. The municipality is already working on 18.000 homes, so there are still 22.00 homes to be made gas-free. To come to a plan and include residents, the municipality had a Participative Value Evaluation (PVE) carried out, in which 617 residents participated. Coming Tuesday 7 April, from 3.30 pm – 5 pm, we will present the results of the PWE that has been carried out for the heat transition vision of the Municipality of Utrecht. This is done in the form of a webinar, via Zoom.

PVE as a source for co-creation in the sustainable heating transition
Heating is a fundamental aspect of the human need for shelter in our colder climates. Heat is a cultural service that cannot be seen through the lens of economic efficiencies and return on investments only. In the transition to sustainable heating, homeowners and local communities therefore form essential parts of the system. Their contribution to this low carbon transition by adopting sustainable heating technology for their homes and buildings is key to making it happen, and co-creation provides the space.

What is the biggest advantage of choosing PVE for the energy transition?
On 3 March we presented the PVE method at the Learning Platform Energy and Environment (LEO) in Utrecht. LEO was initiated by the energy sector in cooperation with the Ministry of Economic Affairs to improve cooperation between the parties involved in the energy transition. The meeting was focused on ‘smart participation’, and therefore we focused our presentation on how the involvement of diverse citizens and middle groups can work out better through applying a PVE.
