CITIES invites to Workshop / Webinar August 12, 2020, 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM CEST
In the quest for fossil-free cities and a fossil-free building sector, there is continued need to maximise energy efficiency of buildings and energy systems in cities. Even the limited energy use should to a maximum possible extent come from renewable sources, and the classical challenge of balancing demand and supply becomes an issue, which calls for flexible operation of all units.
Contemporary digital and data-driven methods are key to optimize the operation of buildings and district energy systems such that use of fossil fuels can be minimized without compromising on comfort and functionality of the built environment. The workshop will give an overview of potentials and state-of-the-art technologies in the field.
The use of building data is one of the paths to the green transition, and data and digitization can reduce costs and create new potentials for efficiency improvements. At the same time, there are already good solutions in the market. These were the main conclusions when the Danish Energy Agency, during the C40 World Mayors Summit in Copenhagen …
Monday, June 3rd DTU’s project CITIES and our Norwegian colleges from NTNU and SINTEF (project FME ZEN) had a closed workshop at DTU Lyngby Campus, Copenhagen to make a coordinated effort in applications, we expect to increase the likelihood for funding. The two large national projects – CITIES and FME ZEN – have similarly synergies. …
The solution “Smart Temperature Control of Greenhouses” is a tool developed to model and control the district heating supply temperature for industrial bio-organic production facilities. Greenhouses are consuming a vast amounts of energy for the production of bio-organics. For this purpose they also need a very specific temperature to ensure ideal growth conditions for …
