As you can see in the Projects pages, we can design the most efficient heating/cooling systems (commonly known as District Heating) for areas that are not a single building.
We can create any combination of heating, cooling, hot water, chilled water, refrigeration, and simultenous combinations of the all of those. Our designs are much more efficient than standard district heating designs for several reasons:
- Our systems are modular and as efficient at all sizes. Therefore, we can create combination of centralized and decentralized solutions.
- Our systems can utilize all water sources, which allows for much greater flexibility of design.
- We combine solar when efficient - solar water heating is more efficient at maintaining temperature but less so (compared to our systems) at heating water.
- Because of our ability to use decentralized solutions and create heating/cooling at the point of consumption, we do not have to create steam. Steam is a very inefficient way to heat because it creates much more heat than is really necessary for the building - it is only necessary for the transfer of heating (steam) over long distances. It is much more efficient to transfer hot water or just the source water to the location of consumption.
- The upfront costs are much lower - building a large heating plant is a very expensive infrastructure project. Using decentralized systems is much more efficient.
While the basic information is similar to what is required for a single building, the complexity is much higher and a data form would not be sufficient. What we requires to start with is the following:
- A map of the area showing topography and geography.
- A map showing the development in terms of structures and roads.
- List of the structures, their size, and types.
- The heating/cooling/hot water/chilled water/refrigeration requirements needed.
The planning process is different than a single building application. We will require a design fee, which will be estimated based on the project.
