- Event 29 September 2022 District Energy - A Case study of Floating Office in Rotterdam (Webinar) 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…
- Podcast 26 July 2022 Financing Energy Efficiency Investments Problem: It is a critical time for energy efficiency. Despite its recognised importance, improvements have fallen short of expectations. Energy efficiency increase amounted to only around 2% per year between 2011 and 2020. The Covid-19 pandemic further hit energy efficiency efforts hard.
