11.50 12.00 Evaluation and discussion 12.00 Lunch Objective The workshop was arranged within POLIS - Identification and mobilisation of Solar POtentials via Local Strategies - a project within the Intelligent Energy Europe Programme. The aim of the project, as well as the dissemination workshop, is to promote and facilitate the use of solar energy thorough actions in urban planning and development of strategies. The workshop took place before lunch on April 20th in City Hall in Malmö. The main workshop objective was to present the POLIS project to the target group, and to show the results not only from pilot actions in Malmö but also from the other POLIS cities. The Polis project outcomes, like the manual and the coming guidelines, were described and presented to the audience. The POLIS guidelines were thoroughly described and promoted for future use within the field of solar urban planning. The external lecturers were selected to give a deeper knowledge, understanding and inspiration regarding the solar technology, architecture and planning instruments. Target group The invitation to the workshop was sent to all city/town councils in the Skåne Region. The target group was mainly officers and politicians at the urban planning and exploitation departments. Also architects, consultants and other professionals who operate within the urban planning area were invited, and also students from the Lund University attended the workshop. Contents Anna Cornander, Eliabeth Kjellsson and Mats Elfström held a 40 minute introduction of the POLIS project, including the results from pilot actions in Malmö and from the other POLIS cities. The Polis project outcomes were presented including the POLIS guidelines that were recommended for future use within the field of solar urban planning. 2
After the POLIS introduction, Michiel van Noord, a consultant experienced in PV installations and PV system design, talked about dimensioning aspects, shading issues, urban planning issues and recommendations. The next speaker, Joakim Widén, a researcher assistant at Uppsala University, showed a calculation model for economic optimization of PV installations. The calculation model is available online for free. After the break, Peter Rosengren, energy and climate advisor at the municipality of Lerum, gave a very inspiring speech about the work with solar urban planning going on in the municipality. The municipality of Lerum has set higher energy demands on new buildings and has introduced a reduction of cost of the building permit for buildings with low energu demand (for example using solar energy). The example from Lerum has also been mentioned as a planning instrument in the Swedish result of the POLIS project. The following speaker, Brian Möinichen Wendin from Velux in Denmark, gave a very inspiring speech about solar energy integration possibilities and design within the architecture, including changes of existing buildings. The last speaker was Maria Wall from Lund University, who talked about results from the IEA Solar Heating and Cooling Sol project that has the goal to contribute to the development of a high architectural quality. The project is developing integration criteria and guidelines for architectural integration of solar energy systems in buildings. The workshop ended with a questionnaire study, followed by lunch.

Evaluation A total number of 46 participated in the dissemination workshop. 32 of them answered the questionnaire. Questions answers: What organisation do work in? Malmö Other council Company University Student 9 4 9 4 5 What is your overall impression of the workshop? Very good Good Bad Very bad 18 14 0 0 Does your organisation work with solar energy today? Yes, a lot Yes, partly Not very much Not at all 11 17 4 0 Comment: I am here to develop this in future products. Did the workshop inspire you to work more with solar energy in urban planning? Yes, a lot Yes, partly Not very much not at all? 9 20 1 0 In other ways? 13 11 0 0 Comment: As a constructor, our focus is less on urban planning since we expect from the municipality to focus on that. As a result from the POLIS-project, guidelines will be published. Will you/your organisation be able to use them? Yes, a lot Yes, partly Not very much Not at all 16 13 1 0 Comment: To our customers, for guidance etc. 5
What changes would you like to see in the urban planning process in order to facilitate the use of solar energy? Comments: More tools. Changed definitions of building the height of construction. Make it posible so sell surplus production of electricity. Development of products and information to cunstructors. Legislative measures from the EU and Swedish government. Better policy instruments. Clearer regulation regarding net metering. Cooperation between urban planners and architects. Economic support. Esthetically good alternatives. Clearness in local plans. Local plans that include roof inclination and direction, energy demands and like in Lerum municipality. To regard solar energy installations within the buliding permit assessment. When a solar energy installation is planned in a new building, the standpoint should be positive and give more indulgence to deviations from the plan. Regard also the standpoint in Lerum municipality, where they have a reduction of cost of the building permit for buildings with low energy demand. After the workshop, the workshop powerpoint presentations were sent to the participants and published on the Solar Region Skåne website, www.solarregion.se. 6
