Abstract
This paper presents the key technical and non-technical challenges for the development of a Positive Energy District (PED) framework. It draws on literature, expert reviews and surveys. Initial findings reveal that there are seven primary interacting factors that cascade from the strategic to the specific, or from international ambitions to contextual opportunities (and vice versa). Each is a necessary and integral factor that underpins successful development of PEDs.
