The Final Upgrade DH Conference
The final Upgrade DH Conference "Towards efficient district heating and cooling in Europe" took place online on 15 September 2021.
Presentations and recording of the event are now available online
The Upgrade DH project supported and initiated the upgrading process of eight district heating demo cases in Europe in the following countries: Bosnia-Herzegovina, Denmark, Croatia, Germany, Italy, Lithuania, Poland, and The Netherlands and provided the basis for replication to other cities.
Core activities of the Upgrade DH project included the collection of the best practice project examples of recently retrofitted DH networks and best practice instruments/tools to diagnosing and retrofitting networks. Innovative business and organisational models were applied, the upgrading process for selected district heating networks was supported, the organisation of capacity building measures about district heating upgrading, financing and business models was organised, and national and regional action plans were elaborated. In addition, an image raising campaign for modern district heating networks was carried out.
