Fostering District Heating and Cooling in European Cities
By Sara Giovannini You have probably heard about the advantages of District Heating and Cooling systems : they increase energy efficiency, reduce CO2 emissions and contribute to the development of a greener economy. But what can be done to foster the supply of renewable and low carbon heat to our buildings ? Our experts just released a… Read more »
Better data can grant cities more ownership
By Martin Freire Marseille’s eco-district of Îlot Allar uses seawater for heating and cooling through a new private initiative: Massileo. This renewable technology is likely to expand in the coming years, but what does this mean for public ownership of the energy systems?
Introducing Hotmaps: European events
Since the beginning the project, Hotmaps was presented at different European events focused on urban planning, energy efficiency and heating and cooling technologies.
