For immediate release Press Release | 19 September 2018 Closing existing data gaps: New heating and cooling dataset available for the EU-28

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 »

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?

Since the beginning the project, Hotmaps was presented at different European events focused on urban planning, energy efficiency and heating and cooling technologies.
