5th generation District Heating and Cooling: a new tool to help you initiate your project
The EU strategy on heating & cooling aims to reduce the thermal energy demand as well as increase the share of renewable energy in the energy mix. In 2019, just over 20% of the total heating and cooling energy supplied came from renewable sources in Europe.
In that regard, 5th generation of district heating and cooling (5GDHC) comes forward as a promising solution. Low-temperature, and demand-driven, these networks fit very well with energy efficient homes and reduce overall energy consumption by capitalizing on energy exchange between prosumers.
To help project developers who are considering 5GDHC, the D2Grids project is launching a new tool to assess their project and get proposed designs suited for each situation (...)
