This paper examines the possibility of Public-Private-People partnership (4P) model as a way to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from residential developments. The case project focuses on the energy system design as a part of urban planning. Based on the case experiences, the paper presents a 4P framework for low-carbon residential development systems. The theoretical model was tested in one specific case project, Nupurinkartano. The major findings were that the 4P framework is a relevant tool for decreasing carbon emissions when planning a new development; the applied solution delivered an energy system design that could reduce the CO2emissions of the development by 75%. Based on literature this paper suggests that a new development should be viewed as one system instead of several different subsystems. The paper concludes by suggesting that 4P offers an alternative approach for urban planning, specifically energy system planning, and it can deliver significant improvements in carbon efficiency.

Šiame darbe nagrinėjama galimybė viešojo ir privataus sektorių bei žmonių partnerystės (angl.Public-Private-People Partnership - 4P) modelį taikyti kaip būdą mažinti anglies dvideginio emisijas gyvenamuosiuose rajonuose. Pasirinktame projekte daugiausia dėmesio skiriama energetikos sistemos projektavimui, kuris yra miestų planavimo dalis. Remiantis atvejo patirtimi, darbe pristatoma 4P struktūra, skirta mažai anglies dvideginio išmetančioms gyvenamųjų rajonų sistemoms. Teorinis modelis išmėgintas pasirinkus konkretų projektą Nupurinkartano rajone. Padaryta išvada, kad, planuojant naują rajoną, 4P struktūra - tinkama priemonė mažinti anglies dvideginio emisijas. Pritaikius šį sprendimą buvo parengtas energetikos sistemos projektas, CO2emisijas rajone galintis sumažinti 75 proc. Remiantis literatūros šaltiniais šiame darbe teigiama, kad naują rajoną reikėtų traktuoti kaip vieną sistemą, o ne kelis skirtingus posistemius. Darbas baigiamas teigiant, kad 4P - tai alternatyvus miestų, ypač energetikos sistemų, planavimo būdas, galintis suteikti galimybių veiksmingai mažinti anglies dvideginio emisijas.
