This research focusses on providing guidelines on how energy flat multifunctionalurban blocks can be designed, including governance components.   First of all, architectural design can play a significant role in reducing themismatch over time. With architectural design the space heating demand can bereduced and the cooling demand can be increased. Additionally, for well-insulatedbuildings the energy system that is most suited largely depends on thefunctional program of the area. When the area has a lot of functional area witha high heat-cold ratio, i.e. more cooling demand than heating demand, energyexchange can increase its autonomy. With the introduction of continuous coolingeven more energy can be exchanged between functions and the energy system isless dependent on other technologies to supply heat other than subtracting heatfrom the building itself and use it as heat source.         For energy flat multifunctional urban blocks optimization of the overall energysystem through stakeholder collaboration and integral technological approach isa key component. Hence, these energy systems are becoming quite complex. Inorder for the concept of energy flatness to be taken up the supply, paymentregulations and distribution of energy within an urban block should befinanced, maintained and operated by a third party, an Energy servicecontracting company (ESCO).
