Low temperature district heating concept proposed by RELaTED was presented at the IEA EBC Annex preparation workshop on Energy Flexible Buildings

The innovative solutions of cold district heating networks proposed by the RELaTED project were presented at the IEA EBC Annex preparation workshop on Energy Flexible Buildings for Resiliant Energy Networks. The presentation was held on 19th September 2019 in Copenhagen and was attend by members of the Danish Technological Institute (DTI). Christian Holm Christiansen, Senior Specialist at DTI, gave a short presentation of DTI in general and some selected activities that also included the new ultra-low temperature district heating concept (ULT DH) proposed by RELaTED project. The IEA-EBC Programme is an international energy research and innovation programme in the buildings and communities field. It enables collaborative R&D projects among its 24 member countries.

RELaTED concept was presented at the District Heating Road Show, in Poland

District Heating Road Show, Warsaw & South West part of Poland is one of the most relevant events about district heating in Poland. The major outcome of this road show is the heating/cooling knowledge and technology transfer from Denmark to Poland, contributing to the Danish export increase in the district heating market. Photo by Skitterphoto from Pexels On April 1, the Danish Embassy organized a seminar presenting Danish experience in the field of construction of energy-efficient district heating. About 30 people took part, including an expert of the Mazovia Energy Agency (MAE), who informed the audience about the RELaTED Project. Krzysztof Arnold gave information in the field of low-temperature solutions and "open systems". The expert also explained the [...]
