SO WHAT main objective is to develop and demonstrate an integrated software which will support industries and energy utilities in selecting, simulating and comparing alternative Waste Heat and Waste Cold (WH/C) exploitation technologies that could cost-effectively balance the local forecasted H&C demand also via renewable energy sources (RES) integration.

The SO WHAT integrated tool will be designed to support industries, and energy utilities in

1. auditing the industrial process to understand where WH/WC could be valorised
2. mapping the potential of locally available RES sources to be integrated with WH/WC potential
3. mapping the local forecasted demand for heating and cooling
4. define and simulate alternative cost-effective scenarios based on WH/WC technologies also leveraging RES introduction
5. evaluate the impacts (in terms of energetic, economic and environmental KPIs) that the adoption of the new scenarios will generate against the current situation (i.e., baseline) both at industrial and local level
6. promoting innovative contractual arrangements and financing models to guarantee economically viable solutions and less risky investments.

To do so SO WHAT will capitalize already existing tool and knowledge from previous research experiences.
