Abstract
introduces the Business Case (BC) assessment process for Energy Positive Neighborhoods (EPNs) developed as part of the COOPERaTE project. The BC is introduced as the primary metric for assessment of EPNs, and indeed, any intervention in a liberalized energy system. The BC assessment process is then presented, which produces quantitative metrics for BC evaluation, before the network aspect of energy systems is discussed, and a value mapping method to quantify the impact of EPN BCs on other energy system actors is detailed. The process is demonstrated through two case studies, before concluding remarks on the chapter are given.
