Vision for DHC

The Vision document for district heating and cooling has been finalized and made public at the 34th Euroheat & Power Congress in Venice on 25-26 May 2009. Please refer to the Documentation section to download the Vision.

The Vision sets out how district heating and cooling stakeholders see the development of their technology towards the future. It provides a tentative picture of how district heating and cooling systems will look like in their subsequent stages of development, what role they will play in the energy sector and society at large and why they are key elements for an efficient European energy system, both of today and of the future.

Research Agenda

A research agenda for district heating and cooling is being pre-
pared.

The research agenda will establish research priorities for district heating and district cooling. More in particular, it will describe the research and innovation efforts needed to reach the goals of the Vision.

Renewable Heating and Cooling European TP

The DHC+ Technology Platform participates in the European Commission promoted initiative of the Renewable Heating and Cooling European Technology Platform (RHC-ETP).

This platform aims to increase cooperation and improve syner-
gies between existing renewable heating and cooling technolo-
gies. Website will be available soon, for more information please contact the platform secretariat.



Projects

Work on a variety of research projects is being pursued in the framework of the technology platform. More information on these projects you can find here.
