In the Belgian city of Hasselt, a social housing apartment complex is being retrofitted as part of the project enabling surplus energy production via rooftop wind turbines, PVT systems and heat pump installations. Watch here.
In Helsinki (Finland) a new residential building meeting positive energy standards is being constructed with support of the city in Helsinki’s smart district Kalasatama. The building will amongst others be equipped with DualSun PVT panels for multisource ground source heat pumps for 800m deep boreholes. Watch here.
In Granada (Spain), a new apartment complex with shopping and economic spaces will be set up to produce, store and share energy within Spain’s first planned zero energy district. Energy from geothermal heat pumps and PV panels will also be used in an electric vehicle charging station on the spot. Watch here.
In the Austrian city of Graz a building complex in a former industrial area is being renovated to meet positive energy standards with a cascadic heat pump portfolio, a multifunctional façade and smart control systems checking demand and comfort. Watch here.
