Smart Heating Europe

Today, 40% of the energy consumed in Europe is for heating. All this energy can become sustainable through modern district heating systems collecting waste heat from power plants and industry, and working at low temperatures which minimizes the heat loss and integrates more sources of renewable energy. Did you know that the heat currently being wasted in Europe could heat all of our buildings if it was collected in smart district heating grids?

I want this in the US now!

Wonderful video.

Smart heating Europe is great concept. Only steel pipes and PUR insulation create very large impact on environment to manufacture and doubtful life time of 50 years, not really good end of life solutions (like recycling) for this product also. I would like to see more advanced solutions than business as usual PUR/Steel pipes.

centralization.... grid.

District heating VS ESS(energy storage system as electricity) So District heating always win in terms of efficiency?!

The average temperature in apartments in winter: Italy - 17 degrees, Germany - 17 degrees, France - 17 degrees, the Netherlands - 16 degrees, Great Britain - 15 degrees, Japan - 10 degrees. The Russians are shocked by these figures. According to Russian sanitary standards, the temperature in the apartment should be at least 18-20 degrees Celsius. According to Russian legislation, for each hour of deviation in air temperature in a residential building (in total for the billing period), the monthly fee is reduced by 0.15% of the fee determined based on the readings of metering devices for each degree of temperature deviation. Thus, at a temperature of + 17 ° C, payment per month should be reduced by about 87%, and at + 16 ° C, payment is not required at all. If in Russia they used to heat the same way as in Holland, Great Britain and Japan, then the Russians would not have to pay for heating. In the above countries, the temperature does not meet sanitary standards!

Very good initiative. Europe will become energy self sufficient in the very soon future
