MIND’ Decarbonisation Strategy in Support of the European Policy Priorities. Strategic Aspects for Establishing the Development’s Carbon Roadmap to Achieve Absolute Zero
Man-made climate change is real and about 40% of this risk is associated with the building sector. The Milano Innovation District (MIND) aims to be an urban pilot where to test the green transition proposed by the European Commission bringing together the public and private sector. Beyond this ambition there is also an objective to be absolute zero carbon by 2040 no offsets. This paper discusses the methodology to achieve the absolute zero carbon ambition, as a key element of the overall sustainability strategy for the development, at the infrastructure and building level. The carbon strategy was established in two stages: the first stage, based on the approved urban plan data, modelled the carbon baseline per main carbon themes (i.e., energy, mobility, water, and embodied carbon), set carbon reduction targets and identified recommendations to achieve the zero carbon targets. After verification of the feasibility of the reduction targets with the market and the designers there was a second stage. The carbon baseline was remodelled considering the development phasing, more precise boundaries of control and impacts of Stage 1 reduction targets. The first stage led to a combined 38% potential carbon reduction. The second stage, because of the energy strategy and of the design carbon budget implemented, led to a 78% reduction and 85% if not considering transport directly controlled by the public administration. The elements considered in the carbon baseline proved that MIND fully supports the European policies being introduced for green loans (European Investment Bank (2020) European Investment Bank Climate Action. Eligible sectors and eligibility criteria) in terms of energy performance, resource management and mobility.
