- Webinar & E-Learning 25 November 2022 District Energy - A Case study of Floating Office in Rotterdam (Webinar) - 06.10.2022 Floating Office Rotterdam is the largest floating office in the world. Off-grid and carbon-neutral, it floats if water levels rise due to climate change. The heat pump with surface water heat exchange is one of the innovations that showcases the building’s mission for climate change. The heat/cold generation is supplied by 2 heat pumps which are placed in the floating building’s pontoon. The pontoon consists of 15 similar prefab concrete floating boxes, with a heat-generating network of tubes…
