New project completed: Using thermal data to reduce energy loss
In many cities, buildings are already supplied with heating energy via decentralized district heating networks. The expansion of district heating is considered a key component of a sustainable energy and heating transition and for achieving climate protection targets. Waste heat – for example from combined heat and power plants or waste incineration plants – is […]
