The team with BRUT in collaboration with 3E, Mint and LAMA was selected to develop a masterplan and energy concept for a climate neutral neighborhood in Louvain. Sustainable buildings, ample green open space, smart mobility and a climate neutral energy system will be combined into an ambitious pilot project for the city. We are looking forward to a creative process with the City of Leuven, KU Leuven, Dijledal and the local community!
