SDH Newsletter April 2020

Dear reader,

our SDH newsletter took a short break after the end of our international SDH project last year, but with the perspective of new international collaborations within a Horizon 2020 project and the International Energy Agency (IEA) programmes, we are glad to come back to you today. Actually, this newsletter was planned for inviting you to an international SDH Workshop that was supposed to be held end of May in Stuttgart, also including common meetings of IEA groups from the renewables and district heating programmes. One of many events that unfortunately had to be cancelled due to the Covid pandemic.

On the other hand, it is good to experience that the concrete projects are progressing despite the difficult times. Now it is up to all of us to demand a post-Covid resumption in the sign of climate protection and sustainability from politics. District heating and cooling based on solar and other renewables have to play a role in the upcoming plans.

We wish you a pleasant reading and stay save!

Your SDH project team

Solar Heat for Cities – IEA brochure and infographics

Solar heat improves energy security, keeps heat costs stable for at least 20 years and cuts air pollution in towns and cities. To encourage more mayors, local council members and municipal utilities to look into this cost-effective solution, researchers working on IEA Task 55, Towards the Integration of Large SHC Systems into District Heating and Cooling Networks, published the brochure Solar Heat for Cities in November.
