Two Overview Articles were released featuring ZERO-PLUS over the past months. The first article did an overview to the scope of the project and the results up to September 2017. The second article had a more broad topic, that of Urban Heat Island. The ZERO-PLUS project was mentioned as a good project example that considers microclimatic improvements as an energy efficiency measure for achieving positive energy settlements. WORLD SOCIETY OF SUSTAINABLE ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES ON ZERO-PLUS World Society of Sustainable Energy Technologies (WSSET) promotes sustainable development to minimise the impact of climate change and has a mandate from the world community to set the proper direction for development of a sustainable urban environment as legacy to future generations. An article on ZERO-PLUS was featured in their December 2017 newsletter.
