| Abstract | To meet the challenges of climate change requires the commitment towards a climate-friendly energy production as well as an increased effort for climate-friendly energy use. In order to produce a noticeable reduction in greenhouse gases, it is necessary to increase the share of renewable energy and energy efficiency use in all sectors of consumption. The necessary result can only be achieved in the long term by the inclusion of as many households and businesses in our towns, cities and communities. The crucial spatial unit of this energy - efficiency urban redevelopment has become apparent based on present knowledge of the neighbourhood. Within the system relationship between building and city, lies the major energy optimization potential on a neighbourhood scale - in the sense that maximum energy efficiency may be grouped together in the spatial unit. effort is a tool that enables the planning of the optimal mix of energy supply in connection with a spatially and functionally sustainable development of the neighbourhood (, Integrated Neighbourhood Concept`). All necessary indicators are brought together and linked to a GIS-based model. A total of 142 indicators (23 indicators sets) were selected from the specialist fields of: resources, ecology, mobility, architecture, urban planning and energy and building technology. These indictors appear essential for a sustainable neighbourhood development and allow for an easy, valid evaluation of development scenarios. The evaluation of sustainability occurs within the dimensions of: ecology, economy and social issues, all spatially stored evaluation criteria/indicators ca n be combined and clearly vizualised with the assistance of the specially developed, 'effort-Sun'. The foundation of the simulation of development scenarios forms an integrated objective discussion that leads to a spatial and functional model. This means that the prognostic potential of renewable energies in the neighbourhood can be determined. The model and energy potentials lead, in turn, to the derivation of specific measures that can be catalogued and used for future reference. The selection of measures is based on the respective classification regarding the degree of sustainability which is fulfilled. Three variations are defined: basic-measures, excellent-measures and a so-called theoretical optimum. A prognostic state description of the rebuilt neighbourhood can be done by simulating the effects of the measure packages. The significant innovation of this interdisciplinary planning tool results from the degree of severity of analysis and planning, and from the combination of building planning and urban planning in the field of energy-efficient urban redevelopment. The included method of sustainability assessment can also be used for certification of neighbourhoods. The term 'effort' is the German abbreviation for 'Energieeffizienz vor Ort' (Energy efficiency on-site). The project is supported by the German Ministry of Education and Research.
