Multi-energy sources, for heating and cooling purposes, are considered to have a large potential in contributing to the penetration of renewable energy sources for domestic, building and industrial applications. But it requires that conventional heating and cooling systems have to be adapted or changed for incorporating renewable energy sources. Nowadays, the heating, ventilating and air-conditioning industries are the actors which have access to the market, and they provide services using mainly fossil fuels or electricity as energy sources. The objective is to have them using renewable energy, combining conventional and renewable sources and proposing environmental cost-effective products.
The technical goal of this project is to set-up technology resource centres in Europe, with the aim of building bridges between the technology providers (research centres, universities and industry) and the technology users (manufacturers, engineering companies). The project outputs are:
Creation of the clubs/grouping
Collection of RTD results
Development of design tools for evaluating and sizing the new technologies
Best practice and training programme
Creation of a knowledge resource centre relying on multi language search engines based on craft ontologies and terminologies
International collaboration with China
For this 13 partners are collaborating to this project. The consortium is composed of centres of excellence in the area of renewable energies, energy agencies and professional associations representing industry.
