Objective
Reduction of CO₂ emissions Lowering of primary energy consumption Increase in energy efficiency Use of renewable energies for decarbonization Reduction of operating and energy costs Compliance with statutory and sustainable energy standards
Description
The technical integration of renewable energy sources into heating, cooling, and energy supply systems, aimed at reducing the use of fossil fuels and enhancing energy efficiency. This involves utilizing renewable energy sources to sustainably generate, store, or intelligently distribute thermal energy. Integration is achieved, for example, through:
- Heat pump systems
- Thermal storage systems
- Hybrid systems
- Low-temperature heating systems
- Intelligent control and energy management systems
- Sector coupling between electricity, heating, and cooling
