COOL DH - a pioneering project for district heating solutions #cool_dh

About Cool DH

The COOL DH project ended in September 2022. The objective of COOL DH was to support cities in their endeavor to plan and deploy new, efficient district heating and cooling (DHC) systems and extend, refurbish existing ones to higher standards. Thus allowing greater uptake of renewables, recovering of excess heat or cold while improving the overall efficiency of the systems.
